If advance arrangements are in
convenient, she may ask her guests
to make their own choices from the
regular menu and request the waiter

@. If girl has asked some fellows
and girls down for the evening, and
the escort of one of the girls cannot
come, what should be done?
A. The hostess should invite
another boy, if she extended the
original invitations. If each girl in
vited her own escort, then the odd
girl may ask another boy or stay
home, as she prefers If the boys
invited the girls, ther the hostess
might offer to ask another boy for
the odd girl, provided she did not
wish the girl to join the party with
out an escort.
@. A boy comes for a parlor date
and the girls mother and father
take them riding in an automobile.
Should the father offer to drive the
boy home afterward?
A. 1t would be a courteous act on
the fathers part. but it is not neces-
sary. And naturally. he shouldn't
make it look as though he were
trying to get rid of the boy!

Dear Miss Dix: Having majored
in psychology in college, can lucid
ly explain why other people are not
able to get along amiably in their
social life, but I can't figure out why
my girl and I can't hit it off to-
gether. We have been in and out
of love for the last five years. She
is beautiful. clever. very popular and
holds responsible position. I am
pretty much in the same class, have
a good job in a large company, am
supposedly educated, not hard to
look at and we'll liked. You would
think we would make an ideal couple
and suit each other down to the
ground, but we can't get along to-
gether. We argue and fight and
say good-by forever, then make up
and fight again. I love her and
she loves me, but our going together
never lasts more than month or
so. I have given her an engage
ment ring which she has returned
and taken back so many times that
it is almost worn out. How can you
explain us? We are both pretty
stubborn and we are much alike in
disposition, but I know that we love
each other. PAT w.
Answer-I would say that the ex-
PLANTATION is that you are both ado
lescent, no matter how old you are.
You are still children who fight and
quarrel and kiss and make up like
10-year -olds.
You haven't reached the mental
maturity that would enable you to
exercise some control over your own
tempers and to use some diplomacy
in getting along with each other.
You are fortunate not to have mar
ried, because two such undisciplined
kids would be bound to land in the
divorce court.
Some day, after the argument
over whether the biscuits were as
good as mother made or whether
the wifes frock cost too much had
been particularly hot and vitriolic,
the wife would grab her hat and
take plane for Reno or you would
slam the door behind you and go
to the club to live And in the
home you wrecked there might be
little children who were manned
for life in mind and soul and body
by your act.
OF course, there are plenty of
married couples who apparently stay
together for the sole pleasure they
oct ont of screaming Their marriage
is a domestic war that never ends
until one or the other of them is shut
up in a coffin. There seems to be
no topic under the sun upon which
they agree, and neither one can
make the simplest statement with
out the other one disputing it.

the makeup of this volume. All the
pitfalls that beset those who re-
solutely turn their noses in the direc-
ton of bucolic joys are dragged
from their hiding places, and ex-
posed as blatantly as a scarecrow
in a field. No one, after reading
this book, can say, But how was
I to know so and so? Nobody ever
told me ;. - There are few trials
ana trlbulations connected with
starting and maintaining a coun-
try residence that remain secret
very long with such enterprising
authors on their trail.
Witty sketches and informative
diagrams by Mrs. Minis enliven the
text, and help considerably by
visualizing the mysteries of con-
struction, ETC., for the novice. While
the Minis do tell all" about potential
troubles, they also firmly dispel
many OF the more customary buga-
boos that may frighten the inex-
perienced country dweller. They
start from the ground up, In their
book, just as they did when they
took to the tall timbers themselves,
and, step by step, they lead the
reader along safe path, from pick
ing the site for your rustic retreat,
remodeling or building, furnishing
and decorating, mechanical equip
ment, grounds and outbuildings. to
closing the house, and suggestions
about opening it for winter week
ends and vacations.
The second part of the book. ."In-
PRODUCTION to Country Life" is most
entertaining, dealing with all the
problems besetting the out-of town
housewife including appropriate
clothing, country meals for amateur
cooks, amusements, suggestions for
jobs for the handy man, 'the perils
OF the country" and country eti-
quette.
A large order, yes. But so inter-
estingly handled, so delightfully."-
written, that one is hardly conscious
of the practical aspect of the book
until, upon closing it, one realizes
that tremendous fund of valuable
knowledge has been absorbed.

Another terrier was purchased

him over to the rightful boss, but

Influences
Children
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Il am just about out of my mind
with the noise the children make
in the house. If I tell them once, I
tell them a hundred times to be
quiet and the place is like bedlam
I'll have to go away somewhere for
a rest, or III be in the madhouse. "
The poor woman did not know
it, but she was shouting so that her
voice echoed through the house
The more intensely she felt her
troubles the louder she shouted
them. It was not the children who
were to blame for the noisy place
but their mother.
Children respond to the atmos-
phere about them. If it is quiet
and gentle, so are they. When
you want to quiet children, speak
softly to them, so softly that they
have to strain their ears to hear.
If you would have them move
gently, move that way, without
hurry, without rush, easily and
calmly. If you want them to take
on a subdued mood, set the stage
for it by subduing the light, the
color and the sound of the place
they are in.
Schoolrooms are noisy If the
teacher talks too much and too
loudly. Hard bright light, sharp
tones, quick, abrupt motions will ex-
cite the children into making noises
that are unnecessary and wearing.
Soften the light, move quietly,
speak softly and as little as possible
and the children will quiet down.
At the same time we must re-
member that children are active and
noisy creatures by nature. They must
shout and Jump and run and frolic,
at the proper time, in the proper
place. Good manners on the play
ground are not always good manners
in the classroom and the living
room. If the children are allowed
the freedom they need in the
proper place and time, they will yield
happily to the quieter atmosphere of
home and classroom and church. It
would be too much to expect that
they be quiet and .subdued all the
time, and it would be bad for their
mental and physical health.
Grown people like quiet. They
dislike having the peace of the house
disrupted and the peaceful routine
broken by noise and disorder. But
children must be trained to accept
that atmosphere before they can
do so. In the process of that train
ing provision must be made for the
necessary rough and tumble games,
the shouts and the thumps of play
full healthy children. Unless that
is done, the children suffer grave
injustice and their growth is made
at It's best.
Little children, those under 9 or
thereabout, ought not to be asked
to wear house manners too long at
time. The strain of being polite
before guests is too severe, and it
is likely to bring on the giggles, or
show-off spree. very embarrassing
to everybody concerned. Let them
appear, make their bows, and dis
appear. Make allowances for their
childish natures and needs.
A quiet house, quiet schoolroom,
are essential to the health of the
children and the grown people who
occupy them. Set the atmosphere
for that and the children will re-
spond to the quiet as quickly as
they do to the noise. Talking about
1t viii not be necessary.

The method, according to reports,

dog out for a moment-and the dog
disappears! The reason for suspi-
cion Of resale is that, nearly every
time, pure bred dogs are taken.
