WELLGROOMED HANDS are
w always attractive, no mat
ter what the size may be, but
there is a type of hand that
seems to call for molding and re-
ducing. While there is no way
to change the size of the bones,
the fatty tissues can and should
be reduced.
It is usually the "over-weightS"
who are likely to have the
pudgy, awkward-looking hands,
and, of course, the first thing
to do is to be sure the general
weight is not more than it
should be. In reducing, some
persons show the change in the
hands and the feet before the
rest of the body, and a week or
two on a restricted diet may
bring about the desired change.

Etiquette
and
Manners
By Mrs. Cornelius Beeckn1an

By Mrs. Cornelius Beecknldr
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ I received a dinner invita-
ton from very good friends of
mine for the purpose of having
me meet their new daughter-in-
law. Although I know their son
very well, have never met his
wife.
/. What should I say when I
am introduced to her? Should 1
say How do you do or can it
be something more friendly?
2. understand that only the
bridegroom is congratulated. Is
this so?
3. In the lower left corner of
the invitation appears the let
tiers R. S. v. P. AS we are such
close friends, don't you think it
would be more appropriate to
telephone them, and inform
them Of my acceptance, or is it
necessary to write? ROSALIE.
/. When you are introduced
to the bride, you can first say
How do you do and you
can, by your manner and tone
of voice, make these words as
friendly" and gracious as you
wish. And then it would be
pleasant for you to supplement
these words with something like
this: 1T is a very special pleas
ure to me to meet you, Mrs.
Allen. I have known Jim for so
long and he has told us all such
charming things about you that
we have been looking forward
to this happy occasion when we
would have the happiness of
knowing you"
2. Yes, this is correct we
use the words congratulate"
or congratulations" only to the
bridegroom. To the bride we use
"best wishes for your happi-
ness" or some similar phrase.
3. No, it would not be appro-
pirate for you to telephone your
acknowledgment of this invita-
ton. An invitation should be
acknowledged Gin kind" that is,
according to the form of the
invitation. If the invitation is
formally worded in the
third person you answer it
formally, worded in the third
person. If it is a note, you an
swer it by a note.

Traitor

I can hide my love for you
In all I do or say;
I can turn, and not look back
AS I walk away.
I can give a level glance
When you look at me,
can match your clever wit
With gay repartee.
I can hold my hands quite still
Calm as folded wings;
Speak to you with steady voice
OF such trivial things.
I am master of myself
Except one little part
wonder that you've never heard
The tunult in my heart.

My girl and I had been sweet
hearts since school days, but, al
though I expected to marry her,
I kept putting off asking her.
One night she showed me a
letter in a Lovelorn Column. in
which the writer asked what
course to follow with a laggard
lover, who cluttered up the
parlor year in and year out,
without declaring his inten-
lions. The writer was advised
to start going out with other
fellows. It didn't take me but
a moment to see that the shoe
fit me and the thought of hav-
ing my girl go out with anyone
else made me pop the question
in double-quick time. I've always
been grateful to my wife for
showing me that letter before
she took the columnist's advice!

AdUiCe TO
LOUeIOrn
By Beatrice Fairfax

DEAR Miss Fairfax:
~ Not long ago I read a
letter in your column which
seemed to be our own story.
The young wife had been mar
ried year and, owing to one
of those mole-hill-into.mountain
squabbles with her young hus-
band, wanted to run to Reno
and get a divorce.
But her mother declined to
finance the divorce and told
her she'd have to face things
and work out her own salvation
with her husband.
Difference
In INFRINGING
That was our case exactly.
was only II when ! married;
my husband was % and of
European birth. Our different
upbringing caused terrific
clashes and I wanted to 60 to
Reno. But I had no one to
finance the divorce. Then I dis
covered I was going to have a
baby, and after the baby came
we were both so thrilled and
delighted over our little son
that we thought no more of
separating.
Today we have three children
and our differences of national
ity are just a joke. I've learned
to cook his national dishes and
he enjoys a Saturday night sup
per of baked beans, Boston
brown bread and doughnuts.
How we laugh over the absurd
quarrels of the first year of our
marriage. Everyone says we're
the happleSt couple OF their &C.
quaintance. PEGGY.
May Others
Profit Accordingly
Congratulations, my dear
Peggy, and here's hoping that
other newlyweds who read that
your baby brought happiness
will save their Reno money for
a layette and baby carriage.
The first year of marriage is I'M
doubtedly the hardest. 1t re-
quires patience and self-disci.

those talents you have. If you
can't make use of them you
certainly can find others who
can be helped through them.
Get a grip on yourself, new

you want will come tumbling
into your lap. Best of luck and

Charles Ruddell, One-Man Grievance Committee,
 Leaving for Good

Charles E. Ruddell, Matanuska colonist who last year made one man pilgrimage to Washington D. c to secure alleviation from the bur den of his troubles at Palmer, pass ed through Juneau with his wife and seven children aboard the Bar anof, through with the colony and going back to the States
 An Associated Press wire from Palmer advised The Empire that colony officials had stated that no breach existed between Ruddell and the management but that Rud- dell was taking voluntary departure.
 Ruddell said he had no cause for complaint and announced his req sons for leaving as business req sons."
 Shortly before leaving the col ony, Ruddell was given employment as a painter to earn passage money.
 When Ruddell made country head lines last year with his lone pill grimage to officials in the Govern ment seat, he returned satisfied with the adjustment of his debt to the colony which he had straight ened out at Palmer upon his return.
 All nine Ruddells are going back to St. Louis County in Minnesota from whence they came.
 Some of the grievances express ed by Ruddell when he went East last spring lay in what he said was being given poor land, and no chance to work off his debt" His debt amounted to over S10000.
 MT. and Mrs. Harold Hoganson and children, Kenneth and Mary, are passengers aboard the Baranof, quitting rthe colony for greene pastures in the States.
 Hoganson gave no reason for his leaving Palmer other than that "his family was not crazy about the country"

LANDS IS ID
 WAR ON HORSE
 RAGE BETTING
Campaign Is Launc h e C Against Baseball Play
 CTS Playing Ponies

CHICAGO, Jan 25.-Headed by High Commissioner Kenesaw Noun tain Landis, organized baseball has launched a campaign to stamp out horse race betting among ball play CTS.
 Under Landis direction, it was said, a thorough investigation is in progress of the horse-betting hab- it's of players not only in the ma jor leagues but in the big minors.
 Landis and those associated with him in the drive are said to be determined to find way to curb gambling among the ball club mem- bers.
 The practice, prevalent in most of the teams of the two major leagues, received renewed attention late last season with the dismissal of Rogers Hornsby as pilot of the St Louis Browns. Hornsby's pre- diction for betting on the horses was given as the reason.
 The campaign to curtail betting is actuated by two principal rea- sons, it was said-anxiety of the magnate to avoid another gambling scandal like that of the Black Sox" in 1919 and the listless play that frequently results when players have their minds on bets they have made rather than on the game.
