Guest Of Honor Seated First.

Guest OF Honor seated Ftrstg
Dear Mrs. Post. I went 10 a
dinner some time ago where there
was guest of honor. After
had found my place at table I sat
down, as ] always have done. But
much to my embarrassment the
other ladies stood at their places
and waited until the hostess asked
them to be seated. / must admit
that 1t took me several courses
to regain my composure. The
ancient advice of when in
Rome =" did not help in this
situation as / had never dined
with this particular group OF peo-
pie. They must have thought me
extremely rude. and perhaps l was,
but had never run into this
display of politeness to the guest
of honor. VIII you write some
thing about il.
Answer: AS you have said, many
communities have customs OF their
own. Personally ! have never
heard of this procedure except in
boarding schools. According to
conventional usage every lady sits
down as soon as she is told where
to sit, or as soson as she finds
her place card. The gentlemen
stand at their places until the
ladies are seated. In other words.
what you did was taecording to
etiquette) entirely right.
What to WEAR
Dear Mrs. Post: What would be
your suggestion for clothes to
wear at club breakfast, which
begins at noon and continues with
an all afternoon program
Answer: Street length afternoon
dresses would be proper, and hats.
When the Other Man Sends
Flowers
Dear Mrs. Post: May a young
woman who is going out with a
young man for the evening wear
a corsage sent to her by some one
else?
Answer: / think a man who has |
very little money and who had |
wanted to send her flowers and |
was not able to afford 1t, might |
feel not only embarrassed but
distressed. A so-called "gilded |
YOUTH meaning one whose purse
Is more than usually deep. would
not be likely to notice the flowers.
II he does. he'll probably say, ooh.
am sorry and remember to
send her some at another time.
A Wedding Present TO the Groom
Dear Mrs. Post: After we were
two weeks ago my hus-
band was presented with a radio
by his fellow office workers. They
gave IL to him at the office and
he brought IL home. Now he thinks
that / should write note to his
boss, thanking every one. whereas
I feel that they did not intend
this to be a wedding present to
me personally. If they had they |
would have sent the radio to our
house, wouldn't they?
Answer: l think you are per-
fectly right that it was a present
to him individually and that you
should not be expected to thank
them. In fact. I think If you
wrote note now 1t would be like
getting up to take a bow to an
audience who has applauded your
husbands speech.

London, Oct 14.-(AP)-French
military advices said today the de-
struction by the French of three
big railway bridges over the Rhine
river was to forestall any attempted
German surprise offensive into
French Alsace.
This action was taken after
heavy German lroop concentrations
were reported aIong the frontier
from Lauterbourg to Switzerland,
heretofore relatively quiet area.
Only two bridges remain across
this portion of the historic river,
both at Strasbourg, where they are
INCORPORATED in the Maginot and
Siegfried lines.
North Of the upper Rhine sec
tor, the Germans were reported in
French advices to have massed
enough tanks and heavy artillery
between the Rhine and the Moselle
rivers to launch a large-scale often
sive at any mo1ent. French Off
GERS estimated the total German
strength on the two main fronts,
upper Rhine and Rhine-MOselle,
and in close reserve, at 100000
men.
The Rhine-Moselle concentration,
coupled with a sudden lull in per-
sistent activity Of German patrols,
kept French outposts on the alert,
IS rain and fog settled over the
lines after a day Of clear, crisp
weather.

Lindbergh Again
Sounds Warning on
Arms Repeal Plan

Washington, Oct 14-(AP)-
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh's sug-
gestion that Congress split up the
present arms embargo retaining it
for offensive weapons, but exempt
ing defensive weapons, prompted
many senators today to question the
probability Of such an idea.
Lindbergh made the proposal last
night as part Of four-point pro-
gram which he submitted in ra-
clio address.
Lindbergh also urged that Amer
lean shipping be kept out of belli-
gerent waters and that credits be
refused to warning countries and
their agents. At the same time, he
presented as matter of long range
policy the idea that the United
States must demand withdrawal Of
Britain and other European powers
from the Western Hemisphere.

Announcement Of the agreement,
which was described as not as

ment had sought to make, was ex-

Observers believed the accord
also would define Russian-Turkish

Autopsy Reveals
Body Was Man, Not
Woman, as Thought

Newcastle, Pa, Oct. 14.-(AP)-
an autopsy disclosed today that
the body of mutilated victim
found in a murder swamp" near
here was that of man and not a
woman, as first believed.
Coroner Charles Byers made the
announcement Immediately after
the autopsy. 1t was explained that
the headless torso, which had been
burned on a wood fire after the
Shaving. was in such condition that
# was mistaken for that Of a Wom-
IN.
Detective Peter Merlyo, of Cleve-

case because of the possibility that
Cleveland's ''mad butcher of Kings

locale of his operations, withheld
immediate comment.
Newcastle, Pa, Oct. 14.-(AP)-
Finding of the headless and nude
body of a young girl in a dreary
murder swamp developed the
possibility today that Cleveland's
mad butcher had claimed another
victim.
The coroner said the girl had
been slain probably two weeks ago,
then partially burned in an ap-
parent attempt to conceal her
identity. A single stocking found
nearby offered investigators their
only clue.
The head, severed cleanly, with
a sharp knife or an axe, was not
found in a hurried search of the
desolate marshlands along the
PENNSYLVANIA State line.
