New Volume Gives Hints on
How Tourists Should Act
in Foreign Lands.

LONDON, May 15.-Be punctual If
you are invited to dinner in London.
If you are asked for $50, come at
$50, not at 8:29 or 8:31. For pune
tuallty is more than a British habit;
It's vice, according to 1897 in Eu-
rope" new guide book edited on the
principle that foreign lands contain
not only sights, but, more important,
people. No matter what your destina-
ton, the editors Of this volume believe
you will enjoy travel more If you know
and observe some of the conventions
OF other lands.
II you are woman alone In Lon
don and hungry for companionship,
what's the proper thing to do? Get
In touch with Universal Aunts, Ltd. I"
this book counsels Universal Aunts"
will provide chaperons Just for COM
pany, or for the purpose Of introduce
ing visiting American women to cir
Gle of friends, and their services have
turned many prosaic trip into q
lively holiday.
One of the best ways of avoiding
loneliness in Italy, says 1897 in Eu-
rope is to forget about any bad luck
you may have. Even if you break a
mirror, see black sat and lose your
favorlte gloves, keep a discreet silence
The Italians have superstition that
bad luck is catching, and that by as
Soclating with some one unlucky they
will become unlucky, too. There Is
only one certain remedy against this
contamination, to touch iron, a key, q
pair of scissors or the like, and when
you see an Italian reaching for the
nearest iron object it is high time to
change the topic OF conversation.
Thanks" Are Good Taste.
Dining abroad, too, has little for
mallties that are delightful to observe
OF course. no one expects visiting
Americans to conform to all the minor
points, but it is more fun if you can.
In Scandinavian lands, for instance,
when you finish your meal your host
ess will be pleased and surprised If

your murmur, Thank you for the
food" Expressing such thanks Is q
custom observed there by every one,
old or young. And when you meet
your Swedish or Norwegian or Danish
friend again, you thank him for the
hospitality you received the last time
you saw him.
Scandinavian lands have other little
formalities. In Norway, for instance,
a gentleman always walks and sits on
the lady's left. In Denmark men raise
their hats to the shop girl on entering
a shop, and keep them of while there
In Sweden, should you be the guest Of
honor at dinner, you may be ex-
pected to say few words of thanks
toward the end Of the meal, both for
yourself and for your fellow guests.
Your Partisan friends may invite
you out to restaurants, but don't be
hurt, warns 1887 in Europe" if they
do not take you to their homes. The
no e Is sacred place to the French
and they invite only the closest friends
to it. Another valuable tip for Paris
Is that by standing at the counter Of
the "bistrots," or small cafes, you will
pay only third or a quarter OF the
Sitting" prices for food.

Portland Vase Is Finest
Cameo Cut Glass Relic

The Portland Vase, celebrated an
cient Roman glass vase or cinerary
urn, was found during the pontifi-
cate Of Urban VIII (1623-44 in a
marble sarcophagus (of Alexander
Severus, it is thought and his moth
er, Mammaea in the Monte del
Grano, near Rome. 1t was at first
deposited in the Barberini palace at
Rome and hence is sometimes called
the Barberini Vase. It was bought
in ITO by Sir William Hamilton
and in 1887 by the Portland family,
who deposited it in 1910 with the
British museum, where it has since
remained, except for an attempted
auction in May, 1929, at Christies.
When no worthwhile old was re-
ceived it returned to the possession
Of the duke of Portland, who an
nounced it would continue to be on
view at the British museum.
The vase was broken to pieces by
a lunatic in 1845, according to a
writer in the Philadelphia Inquirer,
but the fragments were very skill
fully united again. The vase is 10
inches high, with the ground Of dark
blue glass, and the figure-subjects
which adorn it are cut in cameo
style in an outer layer of opaque
white glass. 1t is the finest specimen
of an ancient cameo cut glass vase
known.

Called Wool Cotton for
Many Years in Britain

Very few Of the millions Of Lam
cashire folk who get their living
from cotton are aware Of how it
came to get that name. Yet the word
cotton had made itself at home in
Britain long before we began to inn
port the hairs Of the gossipium
shrub, or cotton plant. Wool was
called cotton six centuries ago, says
. writer in Pearson's Weekly.
In the Fourteenth century, q col
ony of Germans were brought over
from the continent by Edward III,
and were sent to the village Of Man
chester. amid country that was then
wild and barren. to spin and weave
wooden stuffs. Shirts in those days
were woven Of hair, and gowns were
wooden. And for some 200 years. the
wooden fabrics of Manchester were
known to our ancestors as cotton.
The words cot cottage. dollhouse
and coast, besides cotton, all mean
things laid alongside each other. like
the straw in thatch. the fibres on
thread and the sea and land along
the shore. Many other things be-
sides cotton have obtained their
names from the way in which they
are worked.
About $50 years after the arrival
Of the German colony Of cotton"
spinners Of wooden stuffs, the hairs
Of the gossipium found their way
into England from Turkey, and were
wrought into Manchester goods. AL
though a vegetable had replaced an
animal material the old name Of
the manufacturing process stuck to
the new fabric.
