With all the feminine frills and furbelows coming to the spring fash ion front it's about time we resur- rected the manners to go with them.
 Take that matter of the man walking nearest the curb when he's with woman, for instance. A lot of new-fangled commentators with "let-chivalry- die if- it. must" ideas have approved changing the old order in that respect. Nevertheless, it's still done in the best circles.
 Other half forgotten" manners men might well watch:
 Rise when a woman enters room And don't sit until she does.
 When holding the chair for a woman at a table don't forget to push it forward as she sits. She's still quite distance from the table when she gets between the chair and table.
 When she takes her coat off al the theater or the movies don't stop at a perfunctory gesture oi helping her. Arrange the coat care fully over the back of the seat or drape it over her shoulders.
 Hints to the modern Gibson Girl. Use makeup discreetly It's all right to do little re-touching in company, but start-to-f finish paint job is out.
 Let your escort light your cigar cite. And don't jump up to look fol an ash tray, either. Let him get il for you.
 Don't pay your restaurant bill even if you are going Dutch" Hand the money to the man you're with and let him make the cash tram sections.

humility because of this symbol, his placing of the flag of Alaska h Independence Hall, But perhaps t is something more than a sym pol. May rot VIC Of Alaska justly consider this act as the outward ind visible sign of a more close and intimate sharing by the citizens of Alaska with the citizens of the sev- ral States. those of Pennsylvania, md New York, and Maine, and Massachusetts and Texas. and Cali ornia, and all Of the others, in the great traditions of diligent and sus- sained effort, and of heroism, and of true culture, which in this place have their most fitting and most tately temple; and may not this eremony, too, be considered as em- olematic of the desire and determ- nation of the women and men of our northern Territory to share common land.
 "The flag ot Alaska suitably typi- lies the North, as you will observe, for in it on a field of blue are shown the stars of the Great Dip per, and high above all the un- changing North Star-the star oi the Nation. One of the gentlest and most highly esteemed women oi continue to be worthy of the honol with you of the States, to the full est extent, all of the hazards, al of the responsibilities, and all oi the dangers which now or in the days to come may confront oui Alaska, Marie Drake, has written ( poem about our flag that I have always thought well-nigh perfect but its lines come more fittingly from the lips of another today.
 Glory Exalted
 The flag of Alaska exalts the glory of the North Star and the people of the North take comfort in the thought that just as the traveller on the uninhabited wastes of the land, or the sea, or the air. despite storm and tempest. may confidently direct the course of his journey by the steady North Star. and thus be brought safe to his destination, 50 in our own political world. though the storms of pas- sion may assail us, and the winds of selfishness buffet US, and the fog Of doubt encompass US. yet a serene recourse to the two great instruments of human liberty and of human government which were formed and fashioned. and so made. m this historic edifice--where the flag of my own beloved Territory is soon to be enthroned-will enable Us to chart straight our course as a nation so that the ordered liberty which our fathers here established will endure, not only for ourselves, but for our children, and for our childrens' children as far in the future as the mind of man may forecast or the vision of man can see.
 We of Alaska pray that we may continue to beworthy of the honor which this association will give. We know that we will be steadfast in loyalty to the principles which were so magnificently asserted in this

Alaska, assembled through the cour- tesy of The Alaska Weekly.
 In presenting the flag of the Territory of Alaska for placement with those of the States in Inde- pendence Hall in Philadelphia on March 30, Anthony J. Dimond, Dele gate to Congress from Alaska, made the following address:
 Delegates Address
 Madam Chairman, Mayor Will son, ladies and gentlemen. Our able and beloved Governor of Alaska, the Honorable John W Troy. has given me the signal distinction on this occasion, of representing him, and through him the citizens of Alaska, for the purpose of making the pre- sentaticn of the flag of Alaska for Independence Hall.
 May I ten you how deeply sen sible are the Governor and the people of Alaska. including myself, Of the debt that we owe to Mrs. Lori mer the Chairman, and the States Coninittee, for their vision and their unselfish labor in instituting and organizing the patriotic observances, of which this is one, and for their thoughtful care and gracious cour- tesy, shared in by Mayor Wilson and all of you here present, which have made this particular event possible.
 Hallowed Place
 ITO this hallcwed place which is now adorned with the flags of nearly all of the States of our Union is enriched with the mem- ories of more than two hundred years of colonial and state and na- tional endeavor and resounds in spirit to the mighty echoes of the voices of those who made our Com monwealth, voices that insistently proclaim a high and noble creed of courage, of stamina, of labor, of sacrifice and of unwavering de- votion, there comes today the flag of the latest and youngest of those who give allegiance and pay hom- age to the Government Of the great Nation that was by our ancestors here conceived and ordained and, by the grace of God, created.
 Alaska is part and parcel of the Nation, bone of it's bone and flesh of its flesh. Although only a ter ritory in political form, the high est court of our land has decreed that the Constitution of the United States, with all of it's manifold anc circumstantial safeguards of those ideals of liberty upon which oui government is founded, extends with all of it's force and all of its vigor to Alaska, and to the citi. zens of Alaska.

NEW YORK, April 22.-Visitors to

the many new ways Of using color

cially on painted surfaces. From the

In the exhibition buildings the
colors are chosen primarily to show
the products displayed to the best
advantage. The textile building,
with its fascinating hall Of fashion,
has walls Of pastel blue, rose and
yellow, delicately flattering the fab
RIGS. In the marine building, with
its boats Of all kinds and sizes, the
walls are . gay sunset yellow. Those
IN the electrical products building
are rose and jade green, accented
with vermillion, to keep pace with
the increasing smartness Of the elec-
trical gadgets and home appliances.
There are walls here, too, which are
really painted white, but which look
green, pink or deep rose because
Of the play Of concealed lighting on
them.
Guide Lines on Ceiling,
One unusual color usage in the ex-
position buildings is represented by
