 What sort of girl does a boy like to take places? A girl whose man. ners are poised, who doesn't create awkward moments.
 But the girl in our picture isn't like that, you sect She doesn't know who enters a theater first-she or her escort-and how she en1barras- ses him!
 AS easy to learn the correct thing ahead of time, to check on other etiquette points, too.
 At the entrance to the theater the girl goes first, the man follows and gives the tickets to the door, man. If there is no usher, the man goes ahead to find a seat, but stands aside to let the girl enter the row first.
 And the socially-experienced girl never takes charge" on 8 date. At 8 restaurant, the man does the or. dering after learning the girls wish es. If he is taking her home in a taxi, she tells him her address, lets him inform the driver. And how smooth she makes her escort feel by letting him open doors, assist with wraps.
 Yes, boys gravitate to the girl who is gracious and smooth li-tnannered, so brush up on the etiquette rules given in our S2-page booklet. Tells whats correct at dances, college proms, on house parties, dates, oth- CT occasions. Gives advice, too, on the betting question, office behavior.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Grains


 In all your discourses on foods and minerals and vitanins can't recall a word about flax seed or linsecd. What virtues has 1t in the way of nourishment, stimulant. mineral or vitamiY,, and what about the mineral and vitauin content of grains?

 Answer-Flaxseed is valuable food for cattle, contains considerable pro- tein (ritrogenous Inaterial) digesti- ble for man. The whole grains, es- pecially wheat and oats, are natur- ally the richest sources of vitaiain B complex and of vitarnin E. Whole flaxseeds probably contain consider able B complex as well as A.

Let this go for day or a. week and there's Johnny, forgetting all he knew and rather liking it. It is the easiest thing In the world to back-si .e, much easier than pursuing policy, once the routine has been broken.
 Appeal to hs pride? It sounds just grand, but ask a hundred thousand mothers where 1t gets them. Pride, you see, loves a holi- day.. .la ..e .ss,, he just grins, or thinks you're crazy, or else a fuddy -duddy. If I know my Johnnies they'll take a long chance on pride.
 STRANGERS HAVE MORE INFLUENCE &
 Maybe a good stiff lesson might cure him.
 Children will take to heart things from friends or strangers, that they don't care a farthing for when parents complain.
 It might be possible to enter into compact with his teacher or per- taps even a friend-preferably old era boy or youth that Johnny ad- mires. bDon't have him insult Johnny but word to the wise might be sufficient. Maybe for very shame those neglected ears will have the grace to burn.
 He won't forget. It might do a lot of good. r-.-.
 Try. That's the word. And If all this won't do, don't let him come to the table. Set a place for him alone.

Maybe that would be a good thing. Boys think the world doesn't care. They have to learn that it does care.
 Talking is so often useless. It goes in one ear, if 1t can get in past the grime. and out the other.
 n the first place, good old habit is a grand thing. But in order to have 1t work right, Johnny has to be caught young, and never allowed to miss one night without his bath, or one morning without a good grooming.

THE KEY
 She appreciates that shopping. like housekeeping or business car eer, depends for ultimate success on a well thought out plan. She would no more spend an hour between lunch and the matinee wandering aimlessly about in a store "just looking to see what's new"' than she would go to the grocery without a list or at least a definite idea of what's needed in the house in the way of food.
 She spends important amounts on clothes which won't go out of style too soon. She may go in for a fad fashion now and then, but she doesn't wreck her budget on 1t.
 As Mrs. Roy Fleming of Hot Springs, Ark, recent winner of the National Retail Dry Goods Assoc iation's Typical Customer" contest, pointed out, the smart shopper makes as careful a plan before re- decorating any room in her house. She doesne buy p.nk curtains be- cause they are so pretty, then get them home to discover that they are too dreadful against the old rug. USES SAMPLE
 METHOD
 Instead she chooses the print which is to be used for curtains Or on a chair or divan. She takes home a large sample of this and makes sure that the pattern and the colors in 1t harmonize perfectly with her rug and the walls of her room. Then back she goes to the store and asks sample to show her plain and strip- the salesman who gave her the ed fabrics which match or at least harmonize beautifully with those in the print. Samples of these and the original sample are taken home, considered in every light from every angle. If they seem to be a happy choice, slipcovers, curtains and SO on are ordered.

 She gives up one night 8 week to having her hair washed and waved. her nails tiaanicured. And she keeps that appointment, no matter what:
