Introduce Servant
To Visitor
Very often a servant is intro.
duced to a visitor. In a great
house" where there are many
servants, the servant with whom
the guest will come into most
contact (for instance the maid
who serves the guests room)
will be introduced somewhat
like this, Mora will unpack
your bags if you will leave the
keys with her." or IF you have
anything you wish pressed, will
you tell Nora, and she will be
glad to do this"
In a small household where
there is a servant who long has
been employed in the household,
the hostess says something like
this: This is our Mary, and she
will be happy to do anything
she can for you."
While such introductions vary,
according to the formality or
informality Of the household, in
either cases when they are made,
they should be made with the
graciouSneSS.
The basic rule of introduc-
tionS is that man is introduced
to a woman, the woman's name
being mentioned first. Miss
Smith, may present Mr.. Ander-
son, or Miss Smith. this is Mr..
Anderson Cor Mr.. William An
dersonD," or for very informal
and casual introduction, Miss
Smith, Mr.. Anderson"

For campus wear, look to
your one-piece woolen dresses,
separate jackets, sweaters, skirts
and suits. If you're headed for
an Eastern school, emphasize
blouses, sweaters, tweed suits
and amusing jackets. If you're
going West, little maid, tuck In
some knitted dresses-theyre
the thing there. In the balmy
South it'll be linen suits ana
cottons, chiefly. The East calls
for tweed coats; the West Tor

gers everywhere.
Weekend clothes are: Two
and three piece tweed SUITS
sheer wool and crepe dresses IN
pastels. For tea dances, black
dress with skirt ''verra vera

collars are necessities and are
worn with suede pumps, ana
high front shoes. Take frivolous
hats to set you up a bit.
Dinner and formals: AS many
dresses as possible, with at least
one long dress with a jacket
SportSwear: Use your matne-
matics and stick to classics IN
matching or co-ordinated colors
and you'll have more money lett
over for "date" dresses.
Blue denim jeans and overallS

DormitorieS: Stacks romp on

A two-dollar tip is the right
amount, or more, for the longer
stay. Of course If the maid has
done any laundering or sewing
or errands for you, your tip
should be increased. In a larger
household you give one or two
dollars to each servant who has
served you. If you are an init

give a dollar apiece to every
servant.
If possible you should give the

tweed exactly as it would an

7 WONDER why we harbor
u hate and spite within our
hearts and cling to them so
desperately when they can
never do a thing for US but
hurt us.
But human beings carry a
grudge, keep the old wounds
alive by probing, and then
wonder why they are so hurt.
1t is not normal for any
human being to carry q
grudge from day to day, nor
is it normal to 60 on hating.
We pay the penalty of mis-
cry when we don't clear the
decks after our outbursts Of
anger.
Today have one of the sad
est letters that has even come
to the column. It is a story Of
an unforgiving attitude that
brought a heartbreak to .
mother.
HeartbrOken Mother
Writes Letter
"Dear Mr.. Antheil: You have
helped many young people.
Could you help the broken spirit
Of q mother? I had four beauti-
full daughters. Three married.
Two Of my Sons-in-law are very
dear to me, the other never let
anyone be good to him. I did
not like him before he married
my daughter. He drank and
was a bold bully. But it was
their affair, and I did not inter-
fere.
"After marriage, he would not
speak to me at all, and my
daughter grew cold and insult
ing when I called. She never
invited me until their baby came.
When was no longer needed.
I was told to get out.
"Why I was treated that way
God only knows. I treated all
alike. About o year ago I got
some unexpected money. I took
my three girls and the two huS-
bands on q trip. We were like q
lot of kids, we had so much fun.
"Then came a telegram from
my Son-in-law saying his wife
was dying and wanted me. MY
heart went dead. The messages
which followed, begging me to
come, had no effect on me, ex-
cepting to ruin my trip, the only
one in my whole life. When I
returned, my daughter was al
ready buried.
I cannot stand in judgment
over YOU. You will have to
search your own soul for the an
swer. It is so easy to be good
to those who love us and make
us no trouble. But your daugh-
ter is beyond all earthly bicker'
ing, quarrels and spite. Per-
haps she can see clearly now
and can understand you and
why you failed her.
Another Girl Faces
A Handicap
"Dear Mr. Antheil: I agree
with you about being crippled,
and again I don't. I am a girl
of II and have been crippled all
my life. But I have never been
asked by a boy to go anywhere.
"Now can walk perfectly
well, but can't take strenuous
exercises or dance. But I ask
you, does that prevent me from
going to picnices and parties?
I am not so bad looking and the
boys are willing to, talk to me.
GINGER"
I wonder If you are not doing
exactly what I warned against,
pretending nothing is wrong and
avoiding the subject. I wonder
if you would frankly mention
your deformity and put boys at
their ease, if it wouldn't be
easier for you When in a group,
mention the fact that you would
like them to do something which
you could join.
