A man shouldn't feel red IN
the face at having to sit by while
woman pays the waiter for their
meal would be the exception. and
have to endure this loss Of face
in the presence Of others would
make his discomfort Just that
much more conspicuous. And yet
many Of the younger generation
will probably agree with the point
Of view expressed by the young
man mentioned in the following
letter:
Would Belittle Man
I've had an argument with a
young man | 20 out with often.
He is classmate AT college and
he says that II inconspicuously
done woman may pay for a man.

feels that for change it is her
turn. I disagree with him only
because ! have been brought up
at home to think it would belittle
man in the opinion OF the waiter,
or of any other witnesses, to see a
woman pay the check. 1t is not
that | disagree with the fact that
in a case like ours it should some
times be my turn. l know that
many of our classmates agree that

you think it in good taste to see

GOOD TASTE TODAY

To this 7 agree that q woman
cannot. without belitthng a man,
put money on the walters tray
still less take THEIR checks and
hand the money to the waiter. or
60 up TO the box office window
and buy tickets while he stands
waiting. Even to pay the taxi
driver Is disturbing. But a woman
can always ask a man To whom
she feels over-indebted to 20 with
her 10 something for which she
can buy tickets ahead Of time.
And she can Of course sign the
restaurant check If they 60 to her
club where accounts are charged
and no one can pay.
Can Insist on Occasion
On the other hand, as I ex-
planned in this column not long
ago, when man and woman hap
pen by chance to meet in a res
taurant and sit together, she
should take HER check as a mat
ter of course, and he should feel
no embarrassment. Also, she can
insist on occasion that it is her
turn to be hostess. and hand him
bill and ask him to be banker.
This is always done when she
gives a party of four or more.)
The banker then pays the expenses
out of this money gives her an
accounting. and returns any
change that is left at the end of
the evening. But in my opinion
this would be the only 'inconspicu-
GUS way In which a woman could
paw for n man.

Adoreen to his table.

which is the third Thursday in
November, will this year be des-
ignated officially as Thanksgiving
Day in North Carolina. This will
follow the precedent set by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in designating the
third instead of the fourth Thurs
day of November as Thanksgiv-
ing Day. It is understood that the
President during the remainder of
his term in office will continue
to designate the third Thursday
as Thanksgiving Day.
II am making this announce
ment at this time because re-
quests have come from many
quarters that such information
be given. Schedules of various
events for the fall are in many
cases contingent on the designa-
ton of Thanksgiving Day, and
many of these schedules are prin-
ted far in advance.
while my personal preference
would be for the fourth Thurs
day in November, which is the
Thanksgiving Day to which we
have been accustomed, l am
yielding my preference to what
seems to be an overwhelming
sentiment in favor of the newly
designated day.
Last year 81 states of the I'M
ion followed the President in
! designating the third Thursday
as. Thanksgiving Day. They are
indications that even a larger
number this year will follow
such: designation. I have received
from every section of North Caro-
lima numerous letters and other
communications about the matter
and they are in the ratio of about
ten to one in favor of the new
date. In difference to this senti-
ment and in keeping with the
great majority of other states, I
shall follow this new designation
this year and during the succeed
! ing years Of my administration"
