I SAY HAPPY NEW YEAR.
And it looks as tho it will be
a rather peaceful New Years
Eve-no beer taverns and cocktail

like you will have to go from

or go to church instead.

Emily Post

A reader writes me: II just fin
ished reading your column in the
paper about the man ordering in
10 restaurant both for a woman
and himself. 1t seems very foolish
to me for the woman to have to
tell the man what she wants and
then for him to have to repeat 1t
TO the waiter, all the while the
waiter standing there. Seems to
me it would be simpler for her to
tell him direct"
In a table d'hote restaurant she
does give her order to the waiter.
But in an q Ia carte restaurant
one gives the order-somewhat
tentatively to ones host. In
other words. you order moder-
|ately. unless he urges you to order
further.
Stating Exoct Time Limit
Dear Mrs. Post: May I stipu-
late 4 to 6 o'clock instead of just
4 o'clock on our wedding reception
invitations? This length of time
is all we have engaged at the
hotel and we don't want to be
charged more for lingering guests.
Win you sanction this?
Answer: Specifying O definite
time Is not unheard Of and GER
tainly would be a practical solu-
ton for you.
Widow Holds Rule Unfair
Dear Mrs. Post: I can't under
stand the basis for your insisting
that it is sbest taste for a widow
to continue calling herself Mrs.
John Smith instead of becoming
Mrs. Mary Smith. A divorce sub
|stitutes her maiden surname for
her ex-huSband's name. which
tells her status to strangers.
whereas Mrs. John Smith might
certainly be assumed to have a
husband.
Answer: Mrs" followed by q
woman's Christian name is solely
Ia prejudice Of fastidious society.
In countless circles 1t Is not OBJ
jected to.

|NeW Ballet
braves That
ID. A. r. Stuqe
By Harry Macarthur

No ballet company should be
judged by an appearance at Con-
stitution Hall. The bare stage is
entirely inadequate for this sort
of thing and the visibility from
the orchestra floor is not precisely
sensational. The dance troupe
which can keep its audience in
terested enough to stay awake
and facing the stage here always
can credit itself with an accom-
plishment.
The National Ballet, which is
more a local than a national COM
pany, with its nucleus in Marion
D. Venable's school of the dance,
proved itself courageous in the
very least last night in Drawing
these adversities for the first time.
The company also proved itself
last night Gin the words of the
fight announcer who knows he
can't get away with calling a pre-
linn boy a title contender) a great
little crowd pleaser.
The performance was sponsored
by the District of Columbia
Daughters Of the American Revo-
luton and a near capacity crowd
indicated that it was quite happy
with everything it could see.
Two professional dancers-Glo-
ria Fokine and Kathryn Mullowny
were scheduled to take part in
the program. but Miss Mullowny's
appearance was cancelled because
OF an unfortunate but tempor-
ary" foot injury. Miss Fokine's
contribution to the evening was
a sprightly mazurka in the open
ing number. "Reyerie," which
seems to be a descendant of the
old Chopin-Fo LES Sylph-
ides" with additional choreogra-
phy by Miss Venable. "Reverie"
also included a pas de deux by
venita Louise and Walter Stroud
which won the approval of the
customers.
The non-professional company
was smooth If not inspired in the
other numbers on the program.
These included Promenade au
Pare" a ballet about a promenade
in the marx in uyhjc|, fhara ic co,,oa
hopefully coy humor: "Fantasie
Caucasienne." story Of a beauti-
full princess (Miss Louise, who
can impersonate a beautiful prin-
cess, all right. who falls In love
with a handsome gypsy, and
"Prater." a new character ballet
to music by Johann Strauss.
Dino Cortese conducted the
Jack Morton orchestra, which
seemed quite adequate to any de-
mands made on 1t.

A demand for the immediate

This action was based on figures

Cost Or Welfare Assistance For
Dependent Children Is ALARMING

One of the major relief categories
Under the ederal-state-county well
fare program is showing an alarm
ing increase and is now 2R times
as costly to Montana counties as
it was four years ago according
to the Montana Taxpayers asso-
citation. The report shows that IN
1916 all counties in the state ex-
pended $178,762 in local tax funds
for this form of relief but budgets
for the current year total $432,110.
Even this sum is expected to be
exceeded before the year is out
due to the adoption of emergency
budgets in a number of counties.
The Taxpayer study disclosed
that increased expenditures for
Ado are due both to an increase
in the number of children receiving
aid and to larger monthly pay
ments to the families involved.
The total number of dependent
children in this state has increased
