that it must come out of the de-

From ]. A. B. Of Washington, j,
D. c.: "My son is a draftee sta
toned in Germany. He would like
to receive his discharge in Europe.
Can he do this. and, if so, will
the Army pay his transportation
back to the United States later
on?"
He may receive his discharge
in Europe, but the Army won't pay
his way back later on.
From c. E. B. of Atlanta: 1.-THE
son of a friend of mine is in the
Army. Recently he wrote and said
Army doctors had told him he
needs a stomach operation. Can
he refuse to allow the operation?"
Any man who refuses to have
a surgical operation will be ex-
amined by board of three med
ical officers. If the board thinks
the operation is necessary for a
man to perform his duties and
he still won't consent, he may be
tried by court-martial. but further
steps would be up to the medical
board.
From Pvt. E. F. of Salt Lake
City: "I just completed a SEN
tence of six months in the stock
ade for going AWOL. Will ]
have to make up this time before
I'm discharged?"
Usually a man must make up
both the time spent in the stock
ade and the time he was AWOL,
but it depends on whether the
sentence provided that you make
up the time.
From A. NJ. r. of San Diego,
Calf: "Has the tour of duty for
men in Europe been changed?"
Yes. The normal tour of duty
in Europe is now AZ months. This
means that a man can be assigned
for a tour that long if he has
sufficient time left on an enlist
ment or appointment or otherwise
to actually complete such a tour.
Draftees, for instance, who are
only required to serve a total of
"a months active duty, couldn't
serve such q tour. If a draftee
is sent To Europe, he'll be sent
back to the States in time to be
discharged when his "a months
is up.

No. Only if your eye condition

more bachelors, the Philadelphia
assembly. the tuxedo ball fol
New York and the st. Cecilia bal
in Charleston. s. c. The plan tt
make a debut at one of these
served two purposes. It placed the
young lady in a circle much to be
desired socially. and was less ex.
pensive to her family.
A group of rs mothers of de.
utantes co-operated last year ir
ust such an effort. And with ne
i little success. It was a happy
solution of debut dates interfering
and such a pleasant party that 8

their lead this fall, and are plan

Such an effort is the Junior AS
sembly's Thanksgiving ball. The
Junior Assembly in it's early
years invited only two of the an
nounced debutantes to its Thanks
giving ball. But each year the
number has increased.
Subscription Boil
Some years ago the late Mrs
Helen Ray Hagner, who served as
social secretary in the launching
Iof many a. Washington debutante,
arranged a subscription ball for
|debs. The late Mrs. William Laird
Dunlap followed with her black
and white ball. The debutantes
jail wore white and if any post
|debutantes attended they were
dressed in black. It was a pretty
scene. For several years there was
Ia cotillion figure or two at these
Iparties.
Earlier than these, however, was
the effort of Mrs. Walter r. Tuck
erman and the late Nine. Eken-
gren. Nine. Ekengren was the
widow of a Swedish Minister,
though she herself had formerly
been Miss Laura Jackson, daugh-
ter of the socially prominent John
P. Jacksons. Navy Capt. John P,
Jackson. who returned to Wash
ington to live after his retirement,
Is a brother of the late Nine.
Ekengren. When Nine. Ekengren
and Mrs. Tuckerman first inter-
Iested other mothers of debutantes,
the parties were given in a private
home Of one of the debs.
AS the group grew the party was
moved to one Of the more exclu-
sive clubs. Then, they enlisted
the help Of Mrs. Rose Gouverneur
Hoes to act as secretary for them.
Mrs. Hoes, a descendent of Presi-
dent James Monroe, was the in
spiration and an ardent worker to
secure and place in the Smith
sonian Institution the inaugural
ball gowns of the wives Of Presi-
dents. This collection, as COM
plete as possible, is on view in the
Arts and Industries Building OF
the institution. Some White House
hostesses had no inaugural ball
gowns as the ball was omitted
from the official celebrations. In
their stead balls for outstanding
charities were arranged and, as ir
