Lifting of Hat by Men
Traced to Early Custom

Why do men lift their hats to
women? It is believed that the Gus
tom Of uncovering the head as a
mode Of salutation originated in the
military practices Of the ancients.
In the days when men wore heavy
armor a man would take off his
helmet or headgear to show that he
was not afraid to stand with head
uncovered in the presence OF an
other; it was an act expressive OF
confidence. Later it became Gus
tomary to remove the headgear to
shcv Difference to q superior or as
a mark Of respect to a person OF
distinction, says the Rocky Noun
tain Herald. 1t was only step fur
Their to lift the headdress as an act
Of politeness or gallantry to women
and thus raising the hat gradually
became general method Of greet
ing women.
The practice retains some Of its
earlier significance and many peo-
pie still take off their hats to salute
distinguished persons Of either sex.
and respect for the national flag Is
shown in same manner. Members
Of the Society of Friends do not be-
lieve in raising the hat. George
Fox, the founder Of the society.
taught that a Christian should SUBJ
nit to persecution and even face
death itself rather than touch his
hat to the greatest Of mankind,
whether male or female.
When asked to produce Scriptural
authority for his dogma on this SUBJ
ject, Fox cited the Biblical passage
in which it is asserted that Shad-
rach, Mashach and Abednego were
thrown into fiery furnace with their
hats on. He also pointed out that
the Turks never show their bare
heads to their superiors and said
that they should be permitted to
surpass Christians in virtue.

Expert Advises Against
Using Restaurant Lingo

John B. O'Meara, Of Chicago,
an expert on the proper and i'm
proper manner Of restaurant serv-
ice, has given walters and wait
resses tips on ways to get ahead in
their business. Some pointers:
II a man orders milk toast the
waitress should not yell: stew for
q stiff"
Two poached eggs on toast should
not be called adam and Eve on
raft" nor should frankfurters and
sauerkraut be referred to as dogs
in the grass"
Headwaiters should never employ
the old-fashioned trick Of speeding
up service by shouting: Get =
move on, you soup Jockeys"
Mattresses should not paint their
fingernails. 1t takes customers
mind off his food. The advice Is
repeated for wearing engagement
rings.
Both a spoon and fork should be
served with a fruit cocktail, despite
Emily Posts approval Of the for
mer. because when a customer pre-
fers to eat with fork he doesn't
want to be bothered with telling the
waiter about it.
The waiter or waitress should new
er place napkin on the patrons
lap. That's being too familiar.
The worst blunder O'Meara re-
membered was committed by .
waitress who brought a customer
q rare steak and remarked:
II don't see how you can eat that
stuff"

ESCAPE
By Ethel Vance
By Bersioe FInnesan

On the day of publication it was
possible to write a success story
about Escape" Within a week
of publication of the sixth large
printing was ordered. At the foot
of this column you will find the
present total of printings.
The following opinions serve
lexcellently to show the two sides
to this story, the combination of
Inducements that give 1T an al
most universal appeal.
William Allen White wrote, 'tNot
since Gone With the Wind have I
read an author who has such
compelling narrative gift"
Lewis Gannett found in it ''the
agonizing suspense of Rebecca'
and the deep compassion Of Reach
ing for the Stars
Thousands of readers are already
singing its praises and thousands
more will thrill to this story of
loyal Germans risking their lives to
thwart Nazi brutality about a
woman betraying the man she loves
in a desperate plot to save from
execution a woman they hardly
knew.
SEA TOWER
Walpole
With the exception of the Rogue
Herries series, no recent novels by
Hugh Walpole have matched the
popularity of his studies of strange
and violent human relationships,
warm and beautifully rounded in
their writing, but filled with ten
sion and a profound knowledge of
the psychology Of minds warped
by the singleness of an idea.
His last similar book was "A
Prayer for my Son. the story of
man determined to make his son
England's dictator. Now in the
Sea Tower he tells a story in the
same gendre, utterly different in
plot and characters, but filled with
the same uncanny sense of fear.
The tenant Of the Sea Tower Is
Christina, a young girl from the
teeming streets Of London. She
has married a man from Cornwall,
in London fer a three months visit,
and at the end of that time is taken
back to the old tower standing by
the sea, to meet the mother who
has excerised absolute domination
over her sens and proposes to
brook no interference in her conduct
of their lives. Her hate for Chris
tina deepens and spreads until her
mind itself ia affected INV the strIlg-
gle for power.
Rising, first slowly and then by
swift degrees, to a stormy and
brilliant climax, it exhibits to the
full the power that has made Hugh
Waipole, since the publication of
that classic Of horror, the Man
With Red Hair one Of the great
est masters in English Of the
psychological novel.
