Lear MI. A11GlAC1' oAA -
boy of is. I have had a very
few dates. Last summer I met
a girl I liked very well. She is
constantly making me mad by
going away with other boys
when I take her anywhere. One
Sunday night I went to her
house to call for her and took
her to church. We sat together
and then after church she went
home with another boy! She
does this consistently. Am I a
natural born goat or is she just
trying to make me mad? What
shall I doc. K. W."
You are not a natural born
goat, but you can let a girl de-
velop you into one. Turn thumbs
down on this little chit. She is
q "smarty" and deserves to have
the boys pass her up for girls
with better manners.
On Blindly
Meeting
Strangers
C. ]. doesn't agree with me
md says so.
Dear Mr.. Antheil: I note you
do not approve Of acquainting
strangers with each other as one
OF your readers asked you to do.
But don't you think the boy and
girl should be able to decide
that after meeting, especially
when they are between the ages
of Is and 80 years? 1t is very
difficult matter to meet men I
would love to know.-C. j."
Men and women over Is can
make just as serious mistakes
on the side of romance as those
under 20. When they are lonely
and hungry for romance they
forget caution and common
sense and will take chances in
their desperation to get what
they want. That is one Of the
reasons this column will not act
as a matrimonial agency and
exchange names Of readers.
Regarding
Matrimonial
Agencies
When a woman has unpleas-
ant experiences with the men in
her own environment, why does
she jump to the conclusion that
men from distant parts, Stran'
gers to her, would be more moral
and decent? Such is the logic
Of woman, and we can't &C.
count for it. Here is one that
argues the point:
"Dear Mr.. Antheil:
81 was married when 16. After
six years Of misery with a hus-
band who spent his money on
other women and drink, I was
left a widow with three chill
dren. That was five years ago.
Since then have met many
men, if they can be called that.
Most of them we've married men
posing as single. The single men
of my own age wanted young
girls with no responsibilities
such as I have.
"Why is 1t that men Of my
age don't realize women like me
would enjoy the company Of
good men? I have found them
all the same. When they find
out I am not in for everything
they don't come back. Now don't
you think it would be wiser for
such a woman to get acquainted
through a matrimonial agency
that would give out names of
decent men?
81 frankly admit I would like
to be married. I am home low
ing. But if I do go out with
q man the gossips talk about
me. Wouldn't it be better to get
q husband through an agency?
After three years Of searching
for a suitable husband I have
given it up. Now live for my
children and will do so until the
miracle happenS.-E. w."
How could any agency vouch
for the morals of a stranger?
Do you think such an agency,
run for the opportunity to make
money it affords, would be con-
cerned about a woman's safety?
The agency would have to take
the word of the man that he
was decent. Do you suppose any
of tho mon VIII have met would

Dear Miss Blake:
Although I am a teacher and
used to talk in public, I just
could not muster up courage
enough to propose to Mae, whom
I had known and admired for
over a year.
She finally decided to take
matters into her own hands,
apparently, because one day
while she and I were sitting with
her grandmother on the porch
of her home, the old lady turned
to me during a lull in the con-
verSation and said, when did
you say you and Mae were get"

that to Mae to decide" I replied.

Zorina's angel dress, in which

Shower
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
My girl friend is to be mar.
ried very soon and as there are
several showers planned for her,
would like to make mine a
little different. My idea is to
ask each guest to contribute a
certain amount with which I
will purchase a gift useful to the
bride.
/. Will you kindly advise me
as to an appropriate gift for
this type of shower?
2. Please tell me when the in
vitations should be sent? What
kind of invitations should I
buy? K.
/. I think a perfect type of
gift to buy for a shower of this
kind would be some electrical &C.
cessory for. the new home; per-
hapS an accessory for buffet
service.
2. Since there are several
showers planned for this friend,
your invitations should be sent
out at least two weeks in ad-
vance Of your shower. I sug-
geSt that you write the invita-
tions on seminole paper.

Etiquette
and
Manners
By Mrs. Cornelius Beecknan

nEAR Mrs. Beeckman:
/. Is it proper for a lady to
rise to greet her host who is CIV
ing a party for her and others,
when he enters the room to
shake hands with her, and par.
ticularly when he happens to
be an elderly man-and she is
young?
2. Is it proper for one of the
hostesses at a party for a celeb
rity to rise when he is present
ed to her by one of the other
hostesses of the club giving the
party? She is a hostess to
guest, in that she is one of
the members of the club giving
the party for the celebrity.
Should she, as such, rise? I am
we'll aware that under ordinary
circumstances a lady never
rises when greeting a gentle
man, but I think courtesy makes
special demands upon one
when that guest is world-fa-
nous or elderly.
/. Under these circumstances,
a lady would, with propriety
and courtesy, rise to receive the
welcome of her elderly host.
2. And most definitely this CO.
hostess of the party should, like
the hostess of any other kind of
party, rise to greet and to shake
hands with the man guest of
honor. She should rise to greet
any guest, man or woman.

All Hugh O'Connell's life has
been a struggle to let an honest
spirit shine through a "dishon-
est" face. In school days, teach
ers didn't believe the now
famous stage and film comedian
when he was telling gospel
truth. He tried salesmanShip
but folk gave one look at his
face, took in his guilty-seeming
manner and wouldn't buy. At
last he found his niche, however,
when his acting talent was dis
covered.
His greatest hits have been
parts such as one he is playing
in "Penrod's Double Trouble. "
He plays a comedy-villain who
tries to put over a fraud on
