ence last night to those provoca-

Sometimes there is no srbitrat-

scribed by the following letter:
Recently / was seated at the
right of the host at dinner party.
l hardly knew the host as I was
invited to come with friends of
theirs with whom l was staying
The host did the carving at the
table and passed the first plate
to me, but as he did not say any
thing about my keeping it, I
passed it on to the person next
to me. I've been told since that
when this type of service is used
and l am seated on the right of
the host and given the first plate,
| am expected to keep it. !, on
the other hand, argue that this
would have been taking my i'm
portance for granted. Which way
would have been the right one ?"
As already noted above, to have
kept 1t would have been correct,
and passing it on was proper! In
short, it is correctly assumed that
the host serves the lady on his
right first. And yet, think one s
natural impulse at such time
is to pass the plate on unless told
by the host TO keep it. Had he
asked you which cut you pre-
ferred and then put the filled
plate down in front of you, or If
he had said. win you keep this,

AS IL was, you could not have
been criticized either way.

you what proportions to use-al-
though ! have had many read
ers tell me they merely used a
small amount of ammonia in the
peroxide. For example. about a
half a teaspoon of ammonia to a
half cup of peroxide.
However, the most successful
bleaches are accomplished by US
ing pure peroxide. I believe you
can get the doublestrength which
will do the bleaching better than
merely an ordinary cheap per-
oxide with little ammonia).
1t is applied to the lip on cot
ton pads and sometimes the bleach

cation. The main thing TO do is
have patience and keep applying
it until you get the desired effect.
High School Girl
Dear Miss Grey: I wish you
would answer few questions that
have been troubling me for a long
time.
First, do you think girl should
lose a privilege of going with
boy because her parents interfere
Do you think high school girl
past IL should have the right to
a boy friend-and be able to have
him call at her home and go out
with him in the evening?
How old is girl who is of
age ?-tnot for voting).
My father thinks have no
right to have boy friend. l am
almost IS and feel that he is
wrong. ! sit at home day in and
day out and never have the right
to 60 anywhere but on errands
for my parents. I can't even go
to town or to church where |
would be able to meet other young
people.
Has girl the right to choose
her own guardian after she is IT?
Is 1t right for a girl almost Is
to go out and try to find herself
Job II she is not treated right
at home?
My father says he does not care
to have me at home any longer and
l would like to try to earn my
own living. All I want is the
right to go with decent, clean
young people and 1 am tired of
the life I am living.
Has a girl the right to marry
at the age Of 1S without her
parents consent? r. c.
Let's talk plainly.
Often parents are unusually
strict II a child has given proof
of irresponsible conduct. If you
have not done this-and If your
behavior Is what 1t should be
then I must admit that most peo-
pie, a. well as myself-would say
that your people are not handling
you in a sensible or fair manner.
A girl can be married at the
age of IS II she wishes-and while
she does not need her parents
consent she is usually sensible If
she tries to earn IL.

Seating The Brides Family
In Church

Dear Mrs. Post: The bride has
four brothers, none of whom are
taking part in the wedding. Should
these half grown boys be seated
in the front pew with their mother
and grandmother, or should they
occupy another pew And please
also tell me when they are seated
how they should be taken 10 their
places. since l believe IT is not
customary for an usher TO seat
man.
Answer: Since it is hard TO see
from the seats very far in from
the ALPHABETICALLY from those
in the front pews-it might be
best to let two of the boys sit
in the second pew or on the aisle
OF the third pew. The two older
boys might sit next to their mother
in the first pew and the other
two with their grandmother in
the second pew. The younger
boys might follow grandmother to-
gether when the usher shows her
10 her place. The older two might
drive to church with their mother,
and walk together after her as
the head usher escorts her. Or
II they 20 TO church earlier, they
will know where they are to sit
and can seat themselves.

Dear Miss Grey: Just a few
words to the person who wrote
to you recently and charged all
women with being responsible for
divorce whenever homes are
broken up.
Let me cite a case that proves
q man can be even more trouble
some than a woman. I happen to
know a sweet little mother of four
children who tried in every way
possible to make go OF her
marriage. but her efforts were in
vain. She wanted to keep her
home together and she suffered
plenty in order to keep everything
right for the children. But the
man in the case had no desire to
do the right thing. He thought
only Of himself.
After making his wife suffer
hardships and humiliations he left
her to support the children while
he went to another state with a
much younger woman.
The mother Of the four children
has sacrificed everything for her
youngsters and Ia now on the
verge Of a nervous breakdown.
She has never received one cent
from this pitiful excuse of man
who brought the four children into
the world and then ran out on
his duty to support them.
This mother is too busy caring
for her little ones to waste time
worrying about a thing like the
so-called man she was married to.
Her children are sweet and when
I say that I mean 1t, thanks to
her devotion and care.
This il just one Of the thou
sands of cases where a man CD
has lodged his responsibility in
. cowardly manner.
How do l know this? Well. l
happen to be an aunt of the man
In the case and I only wish in
stead. I were an aunt OF this
wonderful little mother. She sup
ports her little ones by hard honest
work and every time I see her I
realize that some men are a dis
grace to the human race.
So let's not hear anyone say
again that women are always to
blame when divorce takes place.
We who have kept our eyes open
know this IL not 80. and I for one,
say God bless such women as
this mother Of four children who
has been treated in such selfish
and cruel manner.
