Wear Small Sleepes
in Wedding Party

N EAR Mrs. Post: My sister
~ would like to know what fea-
lures make the women attendants
dresses different at an evening we'd
ding, since you have said that it
is not proper for women to wear
cut-Out low necks and sleeveless
evening dresses to church.
Answer: The only requirement for
evening dresses worn by the we'd
ding party in church is that they
have at least very small sleeves
and that backs be cut moderately,
or else have matching jackets
which can be worn in church. The
evening effect is also helped by the
richness of the materials. This last
is not i1ifallible since materials Of
all varieties are worn at daytime
and evening weddings.

First BaIIoonis+

First human ascent was made
in 1888, by Frenchman named
De Rozier in captive balloon;
that is, it was attached to the
ground by means of long length
of rope.
Louis XVI would not allow any
Of his subjects to risk their lives
by rising in free balloon, but
he agreed that two convicts should
be allowed to ascend in the cap
tive balloon, and he announced
that they would be pardoned if
they came down alive. However,
the convicts did not make the as
cent, as an enthusiastic young
French1nan, De Rozier, succeeded
in obtaining the kings permission
to ascend.

Do the Natural Thing;
You'll Likely Be Right

N EAR Mrs. Post: The other after
~ noon two gentlemen called on
me in regard to business transac-
ton. After greeting them sat
down, assuming that they would do
likewise. But instead they continued
to talk, remaining standing. Feeling
somewhat embarrassed, got up
again and we finished our converse
ton all standing until they left fif-
teen minutes later. Should / have
asked them to be seated? I sup
posed when lady sat down gen.
tleman seated himself without any
further gesture on her part.
Answer: ] think in this case it
would have been natural to ask
them to sit down. It is true that
ordinarily people sit down unless
they are staying for only a moment
of time.

The Double Celebration.

I'm EAR Mrs. Post: I have two sis.
~ tiers, both married on the same
day almost rs years ago. One sis
ter's husband is still living and the
other ones husband died several
years ago. We would like to do
something in honor of the double
anniversary, but do you think it
will be cruel to the widowed sister?
Answer: Certainly it would be inn
possible to think of the anniversary
as double celebration. But, on
the other hand, see no reason why
you should deprive the happy Sis
tie. of her share. However, the
least you say about the anniversary
of the widowed sister the less diff
cult you are likely to make the day
for her. And if she is not to be
present at the party, it would be
nice if you sent her a few flowers
with your love but with no reference
to the day.

have a very good friend who is

and we would stay together at
school. Mother is debating about
letting me go because she is afraid
I will be the youngest girl at the
dance and perhaps she will be crit
icized for having let me go.
Answer: The only possible objec-
ton to your going is the not too
certain one that people seeing you
at this dance will perhaps after
wards imagine that you are two or
three years older than you really
are. see no improperly in your
going since college dance is after
all not very far removed from
school dance, and the girls who
60 to it are not necessarily grown.

Cash Versus /. O. U.'s.
ONLY few weeks ago the front
- pages were carrying dis
patches saying the adjustment of
Great Britain's defaulted debt was
just around the corner. Economists
and fnanciers had discussed terms
of settlement. Figures were quoted
mainly figures calling for big re-
auctions on our part, but never mind
that. They were figures anyhow.
Lately the papers have been
strangely silent on the subject. Per-
haps you remember the old story
told on the late John Sharp Will
liams, who. frequented a game at
Washington where sportive states
men played poker for heavy stakes
mostly with those quaint little ic-
tional products called I. O. us as
mediums Of exchange.
Early one morning a fellow sena-
tor met the famous Mississippian
coming from an all-night session.
IT certainly mopped up" he pro-
claimed. IT won $3,00O-and what's
more, $8.75, Of it was in cash."

I met those prize half-wits Of lit
erature-the Spartan boy who let
the fox gnaw his vitals; the chuckle-
headed youth who stood on the burn
ing deck; the congenial idiot who
climbed an alp in midwinter while
wearing nothing but a night shirt
and carrying banner labeled "Ex-
celsior" in order to freeze to death;
the skipper who, when the ship was
sinking, undertook to calm the pas
sengers by-but wait, read the i'm
mortal lines:

AS he staggered down the stair.
And then the champion Of all-the
Dutch lad who discovered leak

what was the general idea, the
heroic urchin said-but let me quote
the exact language Of the book:

wall, you can hold it back by using
one small Dutch boys arm for

Moron Sought In

MADISON, Fla, Feb. 16. (UP)
A razor-wielding Moron who work
ed with diabolitical cunning was
sought today as the man who muir.
dered 1l-year-old Mary Jenkins as
the blue-eyed little girl walked
home alone from movie.
Her throat slashed from ear to
ear, apparently by one deft stroke
of a razor, the little girl was
found dead in an abandoned plan
ing mill on the edge of town af-
ter her frantic mother, Mrs. Mel
lie Jenkins, had started a city
wide search.
Chief of Police NJ. H. Waring,
who adjourned an inquest until
Saturday morning, admitted that
battling circumstances of the STAY
ing had brought his investigation
to an impasse.
Physicians who examined her
body said she had not been Grim,
inally assaulted.
Although she had bled profuse-
" from her slashed throat, her
little brown wooden skirt and
matched sweater were not blood
stained, police said. This led to
the theory her slayer may have
killed her elsewhere and carried
her BODY to the planning mill where
her clothing may have been re-
placej after she was dead.
