may neighbors be thanked person
ally and notes not written to
them?
Answer: II you have taken the
time to really look at the present
and to thank the giver sincerely,
that is quite enough. But If it is
opened before other people, and
you are scarcely able to glance at
it. then you should of course write
note. To say Thank you again"
when givers greet you at the we'd
ding, is the natural impulse of
most appreciatives brides. but 1t

If a man can't have the flowers
sent by a florist TO a girl he has
invited to go out with him. ii is
almost better to ask her frankly
beforehand. Would you like gar
denias, or sweet peas, or what
would you like to wear with your
dress tonight" And in this
case, he can bring them with him
when he comes. In other words,
in answer to this question:
when is the best time for man
to give a girl a corsage to wear
when going out with him that
evening? Sometimes il is incon-
venient to have 1t sent"
Every girl likes to receive
flowers, naturally. but she is not
always pleased when the man with
whom she is dining or dancing
brings flowers that are completely
out Of harmony with the dress
she happens to have on. He might
perhaps arrive ten minutes ahead
of time in order to allow her to
choose another dress with which
the flowers would go better.

By EMILY POST

The behavior that young people
Of the present day consider fair
and reasonable on the part of a
ohaperon depends very much upon
their age and somewhat upon
hers. A letter just sent me by Miss
X says nothing further than that
a group of five boys and five girls
have asked her TO 60 with them
to a resort as a chaperon for a
DAYS outing. She adds:
II have never been chaperon,
and wonder how much of a watch
dog l am expected to be? Do ]
go with them to the various places
of amusement, and go in swim
ming, or am ! to sit in the back
ground and wait for them to meet
me after the day is over? Also,
since being a chaperon is doing
them a favor. am to suppose that
they will pay my expenses ?"
In reply to these questions. you
are certainly expected to 60 along
where they go-or you would not
be chaperoning theml Whether
you go in swimming or whether
you sit on the beach and watch
them depends somewhat upon
whether you yourself are young
or perhaps whether you swim well
enough to make it plain to them
that you are swimming for your
own enjoyment and not standing
in a waist depth of water watch
ing them! In other words, you
give them all the freedom you
can. without forgetting your re-
sponsibility as a chaperon.
II you have been asked by their
parents to go with them. they will
undoubtedly take care of your ex-
penses. But if you were asked
by the young people themselves,
II will be much safer to prepare
to pay for yourself since the
chances of their having extra
funds is slight. But one thing is
certain: You can not possibly
leave them all day and have them
meet you when they are ready tc
go home. II you do that. there
is no point in going with them,

Listless
Dear Miss Grey: I wonder why
so many women think that plenty
OF makeup can overcome a dull.
listless attitude?
! couldn't help but notice this
the other day when three smartly
dressed women entered the restau-
rant where I was.
Two Of the women were snimat-
ed and seemed alert and vivacious.
Their animation, even more than
their smart clothes and expertly
applied makeup. made them good
looking women. The third wo-
man was just as smarty dressed
and her makeup was just as well
applied, but she looked bored. dull
and indifferent to everything GO
ing on about her. Her features
were even better than those OF
her friends but she was not as
good looking as either OF them
because she had allowed boredom
to slow her up mentally.
Women can't fool us with smart
clothes and good makeup-not II
their minds are stagnant and they
go around with well, why
doesn't someone amuse me. I'm

An animated woman is invari-
ably a good looking one. A bored,
listless one is never good looking,
no matter how well dressed and
smartly madeup she may be.

ED IN LINING UP 100 PER-
CENT MEMBERSHIP IN

Members of the Junior Red
Cross committee of Key West
announced this morning that
they have become active again,
following comparative quiet for
the past several years. They
served notice that much can be
expected of their group in the
future.
Teacher-sponsOrs in a total of
seven educational institutions are
cooperating with the juniors in
an effort that 100 percent men,
bership Of the schools may be Sc
cured this year.
The following institutions are
listed as having raised sufficient
funds to become Junior Red
Cross members:
Harris, Division Street, Mary
Immaculate Convent, ST. Jo-
Seph's, St. Francis Xavier COLOR
ed), Junior and Senior High.
Funds raised entitle each class
room to display an illustrated

to wear a membership button.
Funds over subscription quota
will be pooled into a general fund
to apply on a selected project in

announced.
Stressing that the Juniors are
already 100 percent, the chal-
lenge of like achievement is is

at the local naval base this morn

with the U.S.S. MCCORMICK and
U.S.S. SIMPSON, returned to the
city last night from the Miami

the voyage which has stirred up
considerable interest locally. The
ships had travelled to Miami to
join in the Navy Day celebra-

UNITED STATES MAY BE WORLDS mo. i
FiUe-Fold Program Begun With Draft Number Calling
MILITARY POWER In NEXT FIVE YEARS
BY MORGAN NJ. BEATTY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30
When the first number came out
of the fish bowl in the draft lot
terry yesterday, the United States
embarked on a peacetime pro-
gram that in five years may in
crease our military might five
fold, on the average, and make
us the heaviest-armored nation
On earth.
That's the real meaning be-
hind the simple business of pull
ing capsules out of a clear glass
jar.
The draft itself will contribute
the most powerful element in the
program blueprinted for Congress
by the Army and Navy. For, if
continued for the five-year pc
riod prescribed by the selective
service law, it will provide the
nation with 100000 trained
military reserves.
Those reserves will cost a cool
billion dollars year, or five bill
lion dollars by 1915, not counting
