somewhere to eat afterward Charlie
never wants anything more than a
coke. And somehow you find your
self ordering the same, although you
really want club sandwich.
Charlie takes you to good dance
occasionally because he likes To
dance. But it's invariably informal,
so that no corsage is required. And
Charlie always manages to take
along another couple, with the other
boy sharing the cost of gasoline.
Now. what do these things tell
you about Charlie? Well, he's
shrewd. He gets value received for
what he spends and nobody puts
anything over on him. He's cautious
and conservative. He's also pretty
selfish and Just a bit mean. And
you can bet that those tralGs will
also hold in matters entirely sepa-
rated from money.
On the other hand. here's Eddie
Easy. who corrals plenty Of cash
but lets 1t get away as fast as 1t
comes in. This week Eddie NAV
treat you to grand blowout, with
the sky the limit But he'll spend
the next two weeks parking in your
parlor, without even the price of a
soda. He may even cadge your
cigarettes or borrow carfare.
Sure, Eddie's generous, and very
likable. But he's also f1ighty and
indispensable. He has probably
owned three cars in the last four
wears. two of which were wrecked
and the other reposSessed by the
finance company. And all of his
personal affairs are handled as his
cars we're handled His life is sun
shine and storm. feast and famine,
one long ride on roller coaster.
But perhaps you also know Monty
Manager. Monty is having rather
hard pull financially because he's
helping out at home and paying
for night school course. He
doesn't date you very often. but
when he does. he asks you well in
advance. The evening isn't spec
tacular. like one with Eddie, but
It's we'll planned and highly salts
factory. Nor do you have to worry
about ordering that club sandwich
because Monty has probably already
suggested it to you.
Monty doesn't have money for
corsages, either. But when you
were laid up with flu last winter
he managed to send you a cute
card and an amusing book. He
doesn't take you to formal dances
because he doesn't own a tuxedo,
but he always looks swell In his
one good business suit.
The way Monty handles his money
tells you plenty about him. He has
sound Judgment. He puts impor-
tant things first. He's reliable and
he's considerate He may never be
rich, but he'll get lot out OF what
money he has-and so will the girl
who eventually shares his salary
checks.
We could give you additional ex-
emples, but we think you'll get the
idea from these. Just remember
that in spending money, people are
inevitably revealing what they like,
what they want and what they con-
slider important, In managing their
finances, they are revealing their
ability to handle all their personal
affairs and disclosing traits of char
acter that are deep-seated and
probably permanent.
Which is something to think about
the next time you get hold OF

Best to Serve
Vegetables
On Plate
If Custom of House
Differs, Guests
Must Follow
By Emily Post

According to formal precepts 1t
is not correct to serve vegetables in
individual saucers. This is prob
ably because a clutter of dishes is
not enhancing to the beauty of a
tables setting; also they would be
hampering to formal service. Except
for these reasons there is no OBJ
lection to your putting what you
like on your own table. One of
my letters, however, brings up the
question of what a guest. who Is
not used to eating vegetables from
a distant saucer with a teaspoon.
may do. May I remove" he asks.
these vegetables onto my dinner
plate? 1 find it very awkward to
reach across my plate into the little
dishes, but I am afraid Of hurting
the feelings of my hostess if I
empty the contents of the dishes
onto my plate"
To this 1 agree that I should like
to do the same (and do, when en-
counter these dishes in a restau-
rant but I think that when this
service is encountered in some ones
house the only thing possible to do is
eat from the little dishes. 1t is not
necessary that you go to the ex-
treme of using spoon (unless there
are unthickened stewed tomatoes
for which a spoon should be CRATE

empty your vegetables on your

Dear Mrs. Post: Would it be i'm
proper for bride to be married in
a white dress, veil and have about
a hundred wedding guests at the
church and yet have no attendant?
There will be a best man and ushers
are really necessary. May We walk
up the aisle or will it look strange
when only the bride and her father
would be following the ushers?
Answer-It is rather unusual but
it is by no means unheard Of. nor
is it incorrect, even If the church be
a large one. The only difncult
question is what she will do with
her bouquet: she may have to have
a stand placed somewhere near so
she can put it down on that. A
good way out of this would be to
carry prayer book with some fow-
ers fastened to the ribbon markers.

HONG KONG WILL
 NOT SURRENDER
Sir Mark Young to Stay at Post Until End
 Has Come
BY SIDNEY ,. WILLIAMS

United Press staff COrrespondent)
 London, Dec. 22-(UP)-CAnadiaf, British and Indian troops held out etill ct Hong Kong today in one Of the most intrepid stands of tho war,
 Sir Mark Young, the goySsrnor, radloed that he had decided 0 re. main at his post until ho was taken prisoner.
 Nothing had been heard from Hong Kong for 24 hours until this morning when the garrison, stard. ing off waves of attacking Japansse shock troops with machine guns and artillery, effected contact with Chungking, (the temporary Chinese capital by radio.
 in hourly messages after that, up to i2:s0 D. m. ChurgkIng time (ii:30 D. m. Sunday EST), Hong Kong reported that 1t was resisting still. and gave the word that the governor would remain ct his post.
 Military experts familiar with the situation ct Hong Kong held out no hope that the little garrison would be able to hold out long against the overwhelming force of Japanese attacking by land, air and sea-"
 But it was believed here that the Japanese were suffering enormous casualties. z
 It was known that the defenseS had been prepared SO the Japanese would not know until they landed on Hong Kong Island Just what they were up against.
 Every point at which the Jap- anese could land was sown thlckly with land mines and around each such landing place were barbed wire entarglements. Trained on the entanglements were machine guns in pill boxes and field and fixed artillery batteries, and behind theSe defense lines, back to the last strong points, were successive mine fields.
 American mining men aided rna- terlally, months ago, in preparing these death traps for the Japanese
 King George, In Q personal meS- sage yesterday to the Hong Kong garrison, said:
 "The thoughts of all at home are with you and the people of Hong Kong in your ordeal. I congratulate al! ranks of the fighting services on their courageous resistance in face of heavy odds and I send my best wishes to you and to all in the !s- land"
 Latest Word
 London, Dec. 22--CUP)-A British, military commentator said today that according to the latest infor- nation the beleaguered imperia, garrison at Hong Kong still wal holding out against a vicious Jap. anese offensive.
 The commentator based his re- port upon information received al 3:30 p. m. (9:30 8. m. EST).
 The colonial office announced that Hong Kong conmunique. is- sued late cunday said "the enemy has been very active all day but is being held"
