GOOD TASTE
TODAY
BY EMILY POST

If you are woman who can
easily recognize the difference be-
tween a Rhett Butler and a Mr.
Deeds or Mr.. Chips, then you are
probably quite safe in deciding
for yourself what to do about
talking with a strange man on
train, or elsewhere But the letter
which follows asks me this sort of
question wi I h out telling me
enough to know whether or not it
is possible to give approval.
"On a long train trip, if a wom-
an happens to get into a CONVERSE
ton with a man and later he asks
her to join him in the dining car,
may she accept? If you say yes
to this, should she ask to have
her own check? So often it would
be pleasant to 60 to dinner with
a companion this way if it were
not for the fact that it is not al
ways pleasing to feel under obi
cation to a stranger"
Surprising, from the implication
in your letter. that you travel often
and therefore taking it for granted
that your judgment of your fellow
passengers is fairly dependable,
you might very well talk to an
occasional stranger and sit at the
same table with him in the dining
car. And yet, if you have poise
enough to make talking to whom
you choose permissible, then why
should paying the check be diff
cult? In dining car one is al
ways given an order blank to fill
in, as well as a menu card. If at
this point he should say, You're
dining with me-" you can make
yourself clear right here by an
swering, "Oh, please no, I'd rather
order my own" If your manner is
perfectly self-assured and it is evil
dent that you mean what you say,
there should then be no further
discussion about the check and you
would pay it as a matter of course
when the time comes.
Under ordinary circumstances,
this is the way it should work out.
And yet, l can't even put this down
as an unbreakable rule. A woman
with sensitive perceptions, seeing
plainly that she is hurting a per-
fectly nice well-intentioned mans
feelings by refusing to let him be
her host at dinner, might accept
his invitation after making an init

gracefully worded request that the
American girl would spend
weekend with them.
Secret Desire
Even without the company of
Raoul, Shena would have been
thrilled. To visit one of the vast
country estates of Argentina had
been one of her secret desires.
How darling of Raul to ar
range this as he did everything he
thought might contribute to her
pleasure.
He called for her early one
Saturday afternoon and they
drove for over three hours
through the lush pampas. which
reminded Sheila of Illinois in the
spring.
Trees were just beginning to put
forth tender new leaves, the fresh
clear water in the little streams
rippled and sparkled in the sum
shine, the cattle grazing in the
clover paddocks were fat and
sleek. The air was like wine.
What a country" Sheila cried
taking off her hat and letting
the wind blow through her hair.
You like ?" Raoul asked smil-
ing.
Wonderful Country
Over and over he had asked her
this question and always she had
answered it as she did now. Il

You belong here" he told her
delighted. You will see, Sheila.
You will never go home"
The first time he had said this
she had been frightened but now
she thought IT'S true. Why

Raoul glanced at her anxiously
as trying to read her mind but he

he said, Were almost there,
Sheila. You can see the house very
soon"
That first glimpse of the
estancia filled her with delight.
1t was like an old English novel
come true.
The gently rolling meadows, the
long avenue of stately pines and
eucalyptus, the stone gate leading
to a winding driveway surrounded
by a velvety lawn dotted with
flowers and shrubs. The aviary,
the storehouses. the servants quar-
tiers all melting into a melodious

They argued about everything.
No matter what subject was
brought up. either this girl or her
husband differed with the person
who Offered an opinion about it.
It finally reached the stage where
everyone else (even our charming
hostess) was exasperated, but that
didn't stop my arguing friends.
They dismissed the opinions Of
others a. though they were so
much trash to be cast aside, and
when they did have the grace to
listen to the observations OF
someone else, they always ended
up by taking an opposite view
just to prove how smart they were.
1t occurred to me. after ! got
home and recalled the CONVERSE
ton and events of that visit, that
my arguing friends were far from
smart. Often the persons with
whom they differed had much
more to offer, was sure, but
they were secure in their informa-
ton and had the grace to ignore
two flippant pretenders, rather
than dignity their ignorance by
arguing with them.
Now the chronic arguer Is a
painful person to have around
even when he confines his argu-
ments to his subject, but it seems
to be the failing of 4 controversial
soul to get personal and that
surely is gong too far.
One of the guests on this party
had his feelings hurt decidedly
when politics came up land that
always means choice chewing for
the hungry arguer). My dissenting
young friends not only made fun
Of his party affiliation. but
dragged his religion into the dis
cussion n well.

to make amends - the thing his
wife would have him do--he will
straighten up. quit drinking and
plying himself. He will be a good
father to his young daughter.
By his own admission he is re-
sponsible for leaving her mother
less at an age when she badly
needs her mother. Now. he'll have
to try to be a companion to her,
to enter into her thoughts and
amusements. to make friends with
her friends and give her every pos
sible help a father can give a child.
All this Is not easy to do. for

from remorse is often easily spoil
ed. However, a happy medium be-
tween indulgence and discipline can
be found.
Also. this unhappy man might
try being good to his wife's people
the people he was always mpking
fun Of while his wife lived. He
might find them better than he
thinks.

wise to try and make himself easy
to live with, for II ne will do thi.

NEW YORK, July 13-In the
petroleum industry it's safer to keep

Copper Trade Disappointed
By June Statistics
D tbs Associated PYess.

NEW YORK, July l3-The June
statistical report on the copper In.
dustry issued this week was q dis
appointment to the trade.
Supplies Of refined metal Jumped
20,922 tons to 1876, 586 at the end Of
the month. The net addition to
stocks since the end Of 1899 thus
piled up to 4O,101 tons.
Domestic producers Of the red
metal, dealers pointed out, have
stepped up refining operations close
to peak capacity In anticipation OF
big orders from foreign and do.nes-
tic buyers.
But the collapse Of France re-
moved an important customer from
the market and at the same time
led to the imposition Of a sea block
ade around Europe, thus endanger-
ing other outlets.
United States customers, mean
while, have covered normal re-
quirements for some time to come,
but have shown considerable eau
ton In laying by large reserves Of
copper.
Price weakness in the volatile
smelter and resale sections Of the
market during the week UNDER
scored this wary attitude. At one
time copper was down to 10A cents
a pound, lowest since start of the
European war. At the week end
the price firmed to 1919 cents.
A contributory factor to idleness,
metal men saic, was the hangover
from the inventory-taking and va
cation period in fabricating plants
during the first week of July.
Export buying dwindled to the
vanishing point and the price
dropped to 1895 cents a pound from
10h cents a week ago.

NEW YORK July l3.-The Asso-

In the current period. .
The index Of IS wholesale SPOT
staples. using 1926 as 100. dropped

week. A year ago 1t was $3.50.
Declines In grains, cattle, tin, wool

for many table foods, hogs and Inn
portant industrial raw materials In
cash markets.
Wheat and Corn Down.
Wheat and corn, important ele-
ments in the price index, dragged
heavily on the average.
The weather. which is becoming a
more and more dominant factor in
price trends OF farm staples, became
favorable to wheat prospects.
Wool declined, along with silk,
despite prospects Of big demand
from the Army for cloth. Also down
were linseed oil, cocoa, -four and
lard.
Hogs continued their recent ad-
vance, rising to top levels since last
November. Curtailed supplies and
good consumer interest were behind
the gains.
Copper improved after dipping to
the lowest price since the start Of
the war. Cotton tended upward,
while traders considered the small

Others marked up included sugar,
