setting is definitely not the thing.
We like to see two couples in
booth arranged with one couple on
each bench, the girls on the inside.
But If the booth had a nicely up
holStered seat on one side, and two
hard chairs on the other, the boys
might let the girls take the bench,
and each face his date across the
table.
At a table for four, two couples
should sit in boy -girl-boy girl order
around the table. But again, if two
adjacent seats were more desirable
than the others, we'd let the girls
sit in them, while we'd sit next to
our dates.
When just you and Sybil are
sitting at table for four, you
should take the seat opposite her
unless the table is so wide that it
would be difficult to talk across it.
In that case, it would be more con-
venient to sit at right angles to her.
In getting into the back seat of
an automobile, the boy helps his
date in, then climbs in and sits on
her right. He can then get out first
and help her out, without walking
all over her feet in the process.
When entering the front seat, help
Sybil in front, then go around and
climb into the drivers seat from
the other side. However, if your
car is parked on a narrow street
with the traffic whizzing by, we'd
suggest that you beg SYPHILIS pardon
and climb in first. 1t would be no
particular consolation to Sybil to re-
member, as she dropped hot little
tear on your casket, that you were
being a perfect gentleman at the
moment the truck hit you.
On double date at the movies,
one boy enters the row of seats
first. followed by his precious, the
other girl, and the second boy. This
not only enables the two girls to
whisper to each other how marvel
GUS Clark Gable is, but also serves
to keep them on the inside, with a
| brawny escort between them and
any ogres, hatchetmen or cannibals
who might be occupying adjacent
seats. There's always a reason for
these rules of etiquette, you know!
This same protective instinct
keeps our young knight errant on
the outside when he is walking along
the street with his more-or- less be-
loved. When they cross a street,
making it necessary for him to shift
from one side to the other, he steps
behind the girl as unobtrusively as
possible, preferably without kicking
her in the ankle, stumbling over his
own feet, or knocking her hat over
the wrong eye.
Generally speaking. boy always
stays on his feet until his date is
comfortably seated. sits or walks on
the outside, and allows her to pre-
cede him except when by so doing
she might encounter danger. CAS-
when walking down a dark stairway
or approaching an obviously irri-
tated airedale.)
Which, we think, pretty well COW
ers the situation. The only other
emergency we can think of might
be where you and Sybil found your
selves in the moonlight on a cozy
porch, with only one chair available.
In this happy event, you would, of
course, let Sybil take the chair,
while you stood as comfortably as
possible at a respectful distance.
Or maybe you can think of bet
ter idea.

Correct Usage
Of the Word
Breakfast
Right Term for
Food Served
Before One
By EMILY POST.

Inc WOfQ breakfast" Is correct
for any food served before l pm.
Breakfast is the right word whether
you serve coffee and rolls or an
elaborate midday luncheon, or
whether you proffer wedding cake
and punch. This is in answer to a
reader who asks, Doesn't breakfast
usually suggest real food, and
wouldn't it be wrong to say break
fast" on wedding invitations, when
there are to be simply midmorning
refreshments?"
Dear Mrs. Post: (a) Is a baked
apple considered dessert, or is it
properly just eaten at breakfast?
(b) Are berries eaten with a dessert
spoon or a teaspoon?
Answer-(a) OF course baked ap-
Piles are considered dessert-if served
at the end of a meal, and especially
when cream is proffered with them.
(b) A dessert spoon.
Dear Mrs. Post: There is a girl
running after my fiance, asking to
borrow his car, and when she's not
asking him for the car she's asking
him to drive her somewhere. He
doesn't like it, but he says it is i'm
possible to discourage the girl. Is
there anything I could do to dis
courage her, because naturally
don't like it either?
Answer-There little if anything
you can do about it. After all, it Is
up to him Of course. this situation
depends upon whether your engage
ment has been announced. If IL
has, nothing could be simpler for
him than to refuse, when she asks
him to take her somewhere or to
borrow the car, by saying in a tone
OF surprise rather than of regret
that he is taking you somewhere,
and to have no hesitation about
/ saying so. 1t should be his natural
impulse to want to spend whatever
| free time he has with you. If he
can't see this, it seems to me that
your future happiness and his is not
very promising. If your engagement
has not been announced. then the
situation is very difficult, since he
would not want to make you his
/ constant excuse. In this case, it is
question of having her interfere
/ to certain extent or announcing
your engagement.
Dear Mrs. Post: I was married
two years ago by justice of the
4 peace. I've always regretted not
having a religious ceremony and not
having worn bridal white. May I,
on our second wedding anniversary,
which is soon. have a small religious
wedding here at the house with
/ just our families and a few friends
! present, and wear a simple brides
dress and veil?
Answer-It would not do at all!
Not only would the meaning be
completely false, but nothing could
be more lacking in taste. Remem-
Der the white wedding veil is SYM
bolic of the maiden bride.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. Ed
ward H. Crump. fiery political over
lord here the past three decades, be-
came mayor shortly after midnight
and quit the job five seconds later
after resembling his predecessor in
vitation to the American Newspaper
Guild to hold its 1910 convention in
Memphis.
The dapper veteran of many torrid
political battles took the mayors
oath on a railroad station platform
and left soon afterward for New Or
leans and the Sugar Bowl football
game.
There was no speech-making-
only the formalities of taking Office
and reslgning. as Mr.. Crump an
nounced he would.
Mr.. Crump succeeded once-loyal
supporter, Watkins Overton, with
vhom he disagreed early this year
on local public utility questions. It
was Mr.. Overton, mayor since 1927,
whose invitation Mr.. Crump with
drew.
Aimed at C. 1. o.
Mr.. Crump said his action was
aimed at the c. I. O., of which the
guild is an affiliate, and at Mr..
Overton.
Local guild officials and Milton
Kaufman, executive vice-president
of the guild, assailed Mr.. Crump S
action as "undemocratic" and said it
would not change their plans to
meet in Memphis.
Il have always believed in fair Or
ganized labor and my record so
speaks, but I am opposed to c. I.
o. Mr.. Crump said in a statement
issued prior to his Inauguration. IF
C. I. o. could intrench itself in
Memphis, this city would go back
10 years."
Mr.. kaufman, in New York City,
said that If Memphis is more than
Boss Crump, then the guild will
meet in Memphis.
THE guild is meeting there at
the invitation of working neWspa-
permen who live there" he asserted.
These men are members of a c. I.
o. union which is promoting and
defending democracy in America.
Perhaps this fact explains his at
titude."
Chandler IndOrsed.
Before resigning Mr.. Crump ad-
vised City Council to elect Repre-
sentative Walter Chandler in his
place as Mayor 1t was conceded the
Council would follow his wishes
when it meets tomorrow.
The crowd of formally dressed
friends of Mr.. Crump who witnessed
his brief stay in office-they had
interrupted New Year parties for
the occasion-livened up the cele-
bration by pelting one another with
snoWballs from fresh-fallen snow
Mr.. Crump ducked a barrage of
snowballs and shouted as the train
pulled out, Tulane will beat Texas
