Accepted Etiquette Rules for Wartime

Nothing could be more prop
er than that a girl invite q
man, who is a friend of hers,
to stay in her family's house.
This Is in answer to the follow
ing letter: Last year I met a
young soldier who at that time
was stationed near my home.
We saw . great deal Of each
other before he was sent to an
other camp. Since then, he has
written to me regularly, but
when he was here, he met only
my married sister because
Mother and Father were not
home. Now he's to get fur
lough and writes that on his
way home he would like to stop
OF here for a few days to see
me. This is a small town, but
there Is one good hotel and
several OF our neighbors rent
rooms. Nevertheless, shall I
write and invite him to stay at
our house, and shall Mother
second my invitation. or do you
think 1t out of place to ask him
to stay at our home. and If I
didn't would there be any rea-
son for him to feel hurt?"
Since he Is evidently one
whom you like quite seriously.
and whom your family would
also like, and that you have a
spare room, 1t will, Of course, be
proper to invite him to stay at
your house. 1t is not necessary
that your mother second your
invitation, further than telling
him when you write him that
your family will be very glad to
have him come. II you have no
spare room, or II there is any
other good reason why visitor

Smart Washington Wears

As summer enters on its last

lovelies who have been vacation
ing afar are returning to dag
zle less fortunate souls with their
sleek figures, superb sun tans
and rested faces. Outstanding in
this group is Fran Rust, just
back from visit to Easthamp-
ton. looking bronzed and beauti-
full. The other afternoon she set
OF the tan with a smart two
piece frock of tomato red, be-
ruined in frilly white at neck and
wrist. Her shoes were red suede,
and her hat was whoosh of white
malines. Also tanned-but
mostly from working in her Vic
tory garden, except for a short
trip North just before her Navy
husband departed for overseas
duty, is Mary Lou Jenkins, who
appeared at an afternoon gath

white frock, her golden hair
tucked behind her ears. and bear

Just to be different, Mrs. Wal
ZACH Merriam is leaving for the
cool North, instead of return

Tor several weeks, and get
well-earned rest. She looked very
smart the other day, when we
saw her, in filmy black frock,
with deep inserts of black lace at
the neck and on the sleeves,
and she wore an enormous and
very becoming rose red hat,
crowned with flowers. Mrs.
Waggaman Pulver, up 10 her ears
in real estate, and too busy, she
says, to get away just now,
wears a superbly simple beige
frock, with black accessories,
and a tiny pillbox of violets atop
her curly head. She has a pair

that nothing detracts from their

hair, and another is poised at the
nape of the neck-the two con-
nected by a matching strip of felt.
