This rule is definite: A gentle
man, seated at a restaurant table,
must rise if a lady stops 20 speak
to some one at his table-morever,
he must remain standing for as
long as she does. This is in answer
to the question: as it not correct
for a gentleman merely to make
the gesture of courtesy by half
rising when a lady, who is a
stranger to him, stands talking at
his table? In a particular case, a
gentleman was sitting alone with
four ladies when a stranger stood
talking with one of his group for
at least five minutes, during which
time the main course of dinner to
which he had just been served be-
came stone cold. Evidently she
thought, if she thought at all, that
she had made it possible for him
to be seated by urging him, "Oh,
do sit down.
This letter illustrates the unfair
ness of this situation. To my wo-
men readers, therefore, let me urge
you not to stand at table at
which any men are sitting. If you
must talk with some one, then ask
the waiter to bring you a chair.
To urge a well-bred man to sit
down while you stand is of no help
at all. not only because others in
the restaurant would criticize him,
but he himself would be very con-
scious of his own bad manners.

Dear Mrs. Post: Will you please
give us a form to use for sending
announcement cards to a list of
friends and relatives of the adop-
ton of two little sisters-one three
years old and the other nine

Answer: In the wording of an
adoption, an indication of personal
feeling is suitable because of the
appeal to ones friends for their
welcome of the child-or children.

father.
Anna, who looked as II she had
not slept, lowered about her
daughter. Neither of them dis
cussed the subject uppermost in
both minds but Gail knew that her
mother would think of nothing else
until her return that evening.
She could feel the force of the
other woman's will urging her on
as she entered the jewelry store
and stood for the first time within
the walls of the place which had
cost her fathers life. For a mo-
ment the surroundings so familiar
to him sickened her then she lifted
her head. This was no time to
falter.

Gail said firmly, Yes. I'm from

She followed him to the office
at the rear of the store. 1t was
early yet so there were no Gus

Calls heart beat furiously as
she walked through the open door
and faced her fathers former en-
ployer. So many years she had
waited for this moment. So many
times rehearsed what she was to

Gail could see no resemblance
to his son except in the well-built
figure. His manner was abrupt
as he asked, You have refer

Gail produced them. Determined
to be as non-committal as he was
she did not speak as he looked
over them.
She stood there proudly silent,
feeling his penetrating gaze sweep
over her. Perhaps the cold in
tensity OF her brown gaze dis
turbed him or 1t might have been
some dim resemblance to her
father which he felt but could not

She had lost. Gail knew II with
a sudden desperate perception. II
she left the store without the
promise of this position she would
not get it. Yet she knew. too,
that to argue with this man would
be fatal to her plans.
His impotence would brook no
delay and he had dismissed her
but in the very moment OF her
despair fate came to her rescue
