Extra Service Will
Change the Usual
Amount Given
BY EMILY POST,

Dear Mrs Post: I am going on a
Today cruise and there is one thing
that bothers me-the tipping. My
friends say that one should put
aside a sum equal to 10 per cent OF
the cost of the tour for tips. But
they all have different idea about
how it should be divided among the
stewards. Will you tell the right
thing to do? I'm going on a first
class ship.
Answer: AS you are a woman, you
divide IS between your cabin
steward and steWardess-that is
$3.50 to each. Give IS to the dining
room steward and 50 so to his assist
ant. If you take many of your
meals on deck, you give IS to the
deck steward. Otherwise, you give
him 81. Then there's your bath
steward-to him you give 81. II
you use the pool great deal and
have several bathing suits to be
dried, you must give him 81. If not
81 is enough.

Dear Mrs. Post: When speaking
with doctor, is it ever proper to
call him Doctor" or when speaking
to some one else about him, to say
"the doctor" when the person meant
IS understood? Used in this way. ]
think doctor seems much more
fiattering than Doctor Smith, ,
don't you?
Answer: More intimate perhaps
but according to best form, DR.
Smith should be called by his full
name. On the other hand, to the
doctor who is taking care of you
it would certainly be easier to say
Doctor" than "Dr. Arbuthnotting." ;"
In 9 friendly community a doctors
wife answering the telephone, or
the door, usually tells a patient,
I'm expecting the doctor any
moment" But if he is sharing his
office with another doctor, then it
is necessary to say "Dr. Smith or
Or. Jones'" But in all formal COM
munities doctor is correctly spoken
to and of as "Dr. Arbuthnotting"-
except when reference is imper-
sonal. When some one asks about
a sick person, it is quite all right
to answer, "The doctor is Cor the
doctors are) very pleased with
Johns progress"

Dear Mrs. Post: MY wedding
reception Is to include only .rela-
tives and the wedding party. Are
we expected to invite the clergy
man who is officiating and his wife?
Answer: Unless the clergyman
and his wife both are intimate as
well as dear friends, you need not
ask them, since you can not ask
the clergyman without his wife. If
many people are being invited to the
reception, you of course include
them both.

This business of insisting upon
bringing your friends who were not
invited to parties to which you have
been invited has its fine points.
First, you must be sure that the
friend you wish to bring along was
not left out on purpose. It might
just be, you know, that the giver
of the party decided she wouldn't t
fit in, In which case it's not up to
you to take over the reins. II you
disapprove of the discrimination you
can refuse the invitation yourself,
but that's about as far as civility will
allow you to 60.
Secondly, you shouldn't ask your
hostess If you can bring your friend
when the friend is right at your
elbow. What can the hostess do but
say yes? Maybe it upsets the table
arrangement, or maybe there aren't
enough spoons.
It's a nice thought to want your
friend included, to be sure. And
it. may be that the hostess didn't
know she was in town or just forgot
to include her. But the best way
to handle it is to get your hostess
on the side and tell her nicely that
so-and-so is here and If it is possible
you would appreciate her being in
cluded. Then let 1t rest. After that
it's up to the hostess. JEAN.

you want it, plan your closet space
as carefully as you do your guest
room and you will find that the
decorator will take great joy in do
ing it for you If you are permitted
to specify, plan to have a series of
the closed shelves with the little
drop-down doors in the front. This

from dust and muss from handling

The majority of houses which
are not built to order have long
narrow linen cupboard located in
the upper hall with two or three
shelves within reach. This may be
made attractive, and, with a few
additions. useful for all your upstairs
linen. 1t is good plan to set in
extra shelves just 6 inches wide,
from front to back of the closet,
midway between the wide ones
already there.
With little effort on your part
this space may be gay and bright
with color and spot that you will
be proud of every time the door is
opened, for there are numerous ways
of decorating it. There are wash
able coated fabrics, similar to and
including oil cloth. These come in
36-inch or 50-inch widths, with dec
orative landings to match or con-
trast with them. In shopping for
these fabrics be sure to get the bet
ter ones that do not have an odor,
for some of them, not intended for
closet use, have an oily, unpleasant
smell after they have been inclosed
for some time. Line the shelves
with the fabric and trim the edges
with the decorative landings.
Grosgrain Ribbon
Makes Gay Band.
1t is good plan to use some
method of holding your linens in
neat piles. The heavy rayon and

such lovely colors makes a useful

Wrong toUse
Sheer Force
With Child
Discover the Way
To Win His Mind
By Persuasion
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Over and over comes the same
bewildered appeal: How can
make him do what I want him to
do?" How is a child to be made to
drink milk? Go to Sunday school?
Practice music lessons? Get to the
dentist? Come home on time? Do
what he knows he ought to do?
No child can be made to do any
thing. 1t is possible to force him
to do what is wanted once, and
again, but it is never possible to
make him do what he does not
want to do with cheerful, willing
regularity. Before = child accepts
any form Of behavior as his own
he must want to do so, must wish
to do so of his own true will.
Can't child be taught to do
what is right even If he hates do
ing it? If by teaching you mean
telling so that If he is asked,
What is right for you to do?" he
will return the right answer, yes.
You can teach him the right an
swers. But what you want to do
is to get him to do the right thing
not just talk about it. And he
will not do the right thing of his
own accord until he wants to do so.
The parents problems. and the
teachers too, Is always to discover
a way of winning the child's mind
to the better way. 1t must be won.
1t cannot be forced. If a child is
dirty he must. by some magic, be
brought to desire cleanliness. If
he lies to you he must be brought
by the same magical understand
ing to love the truth. It is the
mind OF the child you must win al
ways. Once it is won the child
himself is in charge and he will obey
the dictates Of his mind. Nobody
else need bother.
How is a child's mind to be won?
Children are intelligent creatures.
They learn by experience. If their
experiences with q person are such
as to win his trust, his liking, II
following him brings happiness Of
tener than not, he will accept his
leadership easily. Children like to
follow a leader. They know they
cannot 60 far alone. They feel the
need of a friends sustaining power
and rely on it once they find it. If
parents and teachers prove them
selves worthy leaders the children
will go along with them most of
the time, often enough for safety.
Dunty was rounding 16. He
wanted to stop drinking milk which
he needed and drink coffee which

Where's that coffee?
One afternoon, right in the thick
of this home war, Coach Breen
went into the gym, scowling grimly.
He cast a dark look over the class
at work. "How many of you fellows
are drinking coffee?" The tone was
enough to scare any idea of doing
such an awful thing out of the
hardest head. Nobody spoke. you're

Sometimes it's difficult for young
women who take a size between "a

ing styles they like. And here's a
new design that's very crisp and
fresh in effect, yet supremely be-
coming to womens sizes, because it
creates the high-busted, slim-hipped
effect that they want. High-shoul-
dered and high-necked, it's an ex-

And you'll particularly like the
