The courtesy shown by q gen.
tleman to lady who goes through
a revolving door il exactly the
same as that shown her when go
ing through any other door. He
holds the door for her and he then
follows. I think the reader who
questions this procedure on the
grounds that this would be help
ing the man, because she would be
pulling the door for him, is a little
confused as TO what actually hap
pens. He holds the edge of the
door while she enters one partition,
and then he follows In the next
and keeps the door from either
stopping her or showing her. Since
she Is ahead of him this way. he
can see her through the glass per-
fectly and control the door accord
ingly. II he were ahead he would
have to walk backwards and then
not see where he was going.
Thre are very few occasions
when a gentleman ever goes first.
The only one I can think of is
when a heavy spring door opens
away from him. In this case he
flattens himself against 1t as he
pushes it open and holds it for her
to pass through.
Brief Wedding Questions

rect for a bride who was married
before to throw her wedding bou-
quet? (b) And is 1t incorrect for
this same bride to have the we'd
ding march played and to walk
in with her father?
Answer: (a) II many of her
friends at the wedding are I'M
married. of course she may throw
it. There is no point in throwing
1t to those who are married since
its meaning is that she who catches
II will be married next. (b) Quite
all right.

when I am here I stay with one
of my daughters.
Answer: If you have a big car
and can take most of the family
with you to her house to meet her,
that would be incest. But If this
isn't practical, then it would be
best to invite her to your town
to stay for a day or two in
hotel and then have the different
members of your family go there

hospitality they can. Inviting her
to stay in a hotel is only half an
invitation since she may not prop

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. NORRIS FIsHBEIN

A common superstition in
many portions of the United
States Is the belief that children
of late marriages are unhealthy
and short-lived. Associated with
this Is the idea that babies born
from older parents are likely to
be more intelligent, successful
and brilliant than the babies
born of younger parents.
These beliefs are absolutely
without any scientific basis. OF
course, the age of the mother at
the time the child is born may
have a definite effect on the
ease of the childbirth and on
the health of the mother. Ex-
perts are convinced that purely
from the point of view of ease
of childbirth the ideal age for
an American woman to begin
her family is between II and
10 years Of age.
When the age of parents af-
fects the nature of the child,
it Is only through environment
of the child after he is born.
II a child, born of older par
ents, Is more weakly or frail
than other children, the expla-
nation is not found in anything
except that the older woman has
probably had more diseases
which have affected her body
up to the time when the child
was born.
II is also possible that chill
dren born from very old moth
ers are generally not wanted,
and childbirth occurs under I'M
favorable conditions.
The child of older parents is
usually surrounded by older
brothers and sisters and their
friends and, therefore, is likely
to be pampered and spoiled.
Such a child frequently spends
most of his time with older
people and, therefore, tends to
become highstrung and preco-
cious.
People who try to bolster up
beliefs in the extraordinary
genius of children born of older
parents are able to point to an
occasional notable like Benjamin
Franklin and Enrico Caruso to
prove their point.
There is nothing about the
constitution, the physical or the
mental condition of fathers and
mothers over 40 years old to
indicate that their age and the
conditions of their bodies can in
any way influence the mentality
of a child.
