must be purchased in July And the

the shorter will be the line between
the buyer and purchasing window
The fee is 81 for gentleman dogs
and two for the ladies' Mr. Marks

busy checking on the lead and

to try to get close enough to the
average dog to see whether or no
it's wearing tag of up-to-da te
vintage. But he doesn't have to
worry much about dogs in the
vicinity of the pound. The owners of
his canine neighbors are always
among the first to buy the new dec
orations. They're already just as
close to the pound as they want to
be, and that's nothing against that
institution either! It's Just the
principle of the thing
In his observation he's helped by
police who have quaint custom of
going from house to house and ask
ing to see canine registration slips.
How each officer on the beat knows
who owns dogs and who doesn't is
a mystery to the average citizen.
Anyway, after having survived the
line up at the tax Office it's well
to keep the slip handy. And re-

Manners
of the
Moment

Some women don't seem to under
stand that a change booth is a
change booth and not a dressing
table. They are the kind who lean
both elbows on the change sill, take
complete possession of the cashier
and go into a long discussion of
the weather with him while they
unpack and pack up again a pocket
book the size of weekend bag.
For the person next in line, the
procedure is nerve-racking. If only
there were one tiny corner of the
change gate left free he might be
able to slip dime through the bars.
But that, apparently. is too much to
ask of the elbow rester.
The only way to handle these
women is to be frank with them.
The victim might say, while I get
my dime changed. I won't interrupt

BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: Will you
please explain the duties OF
patroness and what is expected of
her financially?
AnsWer-Usually this information
is given at the time some one is in
vited to become a patroness. II no
enclosure is sent with the note of
invitation giving the price of tickets
or boxes, she can take it for granted
that nothing is expected except per-
mission to use her name in the
patroness list.
Dear Mrs. Post: Several ladies
have just left their visiting cards
in my absence, having called on
me because I am a newcomer in
town. The name of their church
is written on the bottom of each
card. Shall I consider these visits
social or only in the interests of
the church and what in either case
shall I do about them now?
Answer - Unless your visitors
crossed off their house addresses
when they wrote the name of the
church on their cards, you should
return these visits just as you would
any others paid you. If their ad-
dress is crossed off then, if you are
not going to join their church, there
is nothing further to do. If you
want to join their church. you 90
to services there and wait for them
to introduce themselves to YOU. In
other words, they probably know
you by sight, whereas you have no
way of recognizing them They will
surely introduce themselves to you.
On the other hand. if you can find
out who they are then you can go
up and introduce yourself and
thank them for coming to see you.
What you say-or do-neXt, depends
upon their next move.

Dorothy Dix Says
Father and Son Should Learn
To Know Each Other Better

There are two letters of introduc-
ton that I should like to write lust
now when the land is filled with
college boys and girls returning to
their homes. The first would be to
Mr. John @. Blank and it would run
something like this
MY Dear Mr.. Blank: This will
introduce to you my young friend.
John @. Blank, jr., who is planning
to spend his vacation in your charm
ing city and I am very anxious
that you should get acquainted with
him. You may perhaps recall him
as baby in whom your wife was
much interested some II or 18 years
ago and to whom, later on, when he
was a small boy, you gave many
Indian suits and baseball outfits and
bicycles.
"At that time you were very chum-
my, but of late years since he has
been going off to camps in the sum-
mer and to college you have rather
lost sight of him and he has changed
so much that I fear you will not
recognize him at sight. Hence I
am writing this letter to remind you
that he is still the lad of whom you
used to be so fond that it will repay
you to try to get to know him.
Probably after your initial inter-
view with my young friend your
first thought will be to wonder how
anybody ever thought it worth
while to raise such a pup And the
second will be to throw him out of
your Office on his ear. But suppress
these natural impulses. Have pa
tience with him. Try to get his
point of view on life.
Don't call him a fool to his face,
because if you do you will shut the
door to any further confider.,e from
him. Treat his opinions with out
ward respect. Realize how sensitive
is his pride in his young manhood
and talk to him man to man. And
don't forget that all of his cocksure-
ness and patronage and radical opin-
ions are something he will outgrow,
as he did Fauntleroy curls and all
day suckers and f1oppy socks.
I'm word, sell yourself to John
O., jr. Make friends with this boy,
who is just as much a stranger to
you as if you were meeting for the
first time. Maybe he isn't your
spit and image as you had hoped he
would be, but he is pretty swell
chap for all that, and worth know
ing"
And to the boy would say: Dear
John: This letter will introduce
to you my old friend, John @. Blank
sr., of whom I have so often spoken
to you. You have seen him many
times, of course, but you probably
never thought of him as anything
but a checking account.
ITO you he is Just a hump
shouldered man who hasn't any
taste in neckties and whose clothes
look like hand-me-downs even if a
fine tailor did make them, and who
hasn't much to say around the
house. You rather look down on
him because he never went to COL
lege, and has no particular social
graces. But 1t would surprise you
nearly to death to learn how much
he is respected in the community
and that when he speaks important
men listen.

If we had a nickel for every time

Articles have been written and
talks made on the kind of fingernail

should acquire. She has been
cautioned and advised on the COR

up during Office hours, the futility-
almost-of trying to look smart
during her eight-hour daily stint.
However, when you come right
down to talking to the modern
business girl, you're apt to find
that these warnings have fallen on
Intentionally unheeding ears. And
undoubtedly it's a fine thing, for
if the career girl followed all the

she'd be a pretty uninteresting per-

Figure in Cabinet
Woods

Figure in wood is principally due
to irregularities in the grain of the
wood. Less important are the al
ternate variations in color. Sec
ondary factors in the figure are the
growth rings and the flake" as dis
played in quartered oak. Perhaps
the most irregular wood is the crotch
figure in mahogany Here the grain
is tortured and twisted as it tried
to find a place for itself in the fork
between two uprising limbs. The
result is the graceful dropping and
feathery crotch figure, most often
seen in 18th century chests and
sideboards. The swirl, burl, mottle,
fiddle-back and ribbon stripe are
other beautiful mahogany figures
due to irregular grain. Rosewood,
Macassar ebony and zebrawood are
examples of figure due to variation
in pigment. The tent" or shell fig
ure of plain oak is due to growth
rings, while we have already men,
toned the flake" that appears when
oak is cut on the quarter.

You are II. You have no in

If you expect to be married surely
you expect to be able to carry some
share of the load of responsibility

This is one of the extreme cases
brought about by our unusual So
cial and economic conditions, but
this lack of interest is used too often
to protect the Stacker from criticism
or from his own guilty conscience
Interest does not often precede
knowledge. We are interested most
in what we know most about, and
we are interested in the work that
we can do best. In order to have
an interest one must be willing
to undergo the experiences that are
it's essence. One must be willing
to work, to do the drudgery of the
job before one can expect to enjoy
its thrills.
No adolescent need be idle, for
there is enough work lying loose to

light brows and lashes would be
rather foolish to omit the touch
of lash darkener that means so
much. And, of course, shiny nose
and disarranged hair have no more
place in an Office than on a most
important date!
Kits Prove
Helpful.
One beauty authority says that
the average girl needs an eye kit,
face kit and manicuring set to be
kept in the desk drawer. These
three need not take up much space,
but they can be whipped out and
a quick repair job done in nothing
fiat. It's important to look well in
the Office, not only for your own
satisfaction, but for the pleasure of
others We know girls whose beauX
have the unpleasant habit of drop
ping past the office at unexpected
moments only to discover them with
shiny faces and pale lips. Strictly
disheartening moment for any
young lady! At the Office you'll
also find a small bottle of cologne
helpful as pickup these warm
days, but do use it with miserly
hand. Heavy perfume is taboo in
the Office, for it is often annoying
to those who work around you.
If there's that important engage
ment after hours, carry a small
vial with you.
Freshening up before you leave
work is most important. Too often
we rush out without bothering to
powder our nose or put on fresh
lipstick. and they're always the
times when we meet that nice boy
down the hall or the big boss from
upstairs, who must think that he
hires the most drab looking indi-
viduals! Seriously, though, it only
takes minute to make yourself
presentable before you 60 home or
out to lunch-or even to the post
Office.
Rule Cannot
Be Set.
The point we are feebly trying to
make is this: We speak from ex-
perience as business girl when
we say that common sense will
carry you long way when it comes
to Office attire. Personally. we like
to see simple sport clothes or classic
frocks, but that doesn't mean that
there's never time when you
can be a bit dressed up, especially
if you're off to an engagement
later. Be we'll groomed in the
clothes that suit you best, and if
you can bear fancy dresses and
giddy hats at 8 am, it at least
proves you have strong constitu-
ton.
Use that same common sense
about your makeup. You don't
want to look like an Indian war
rior, but you might possibly need
your cosmetics. So use them SEN
sibly.
Careers are so varied that it is
not possible to set down what the
modern girl should wear to the Of
