TO A FRIEND
Acquaintances come casually,
Companionship comes by chance,
But friendship springs from richer soil
Than that of circumstances.
Acquaintance is a thing of words,
Of idle phrase and touch,
- But friendship always understands
Without my talking much.
Acquaintances will soon forget
And lovers soon grow cold,
But real friends care just as much
friendship has grown old.
So share with me my bread of dreams
And changeless to the end,
Remain that rare and precious thing
That I can call my friend.

ETIQUETTE
By MISS FLO
Dear Miss Flo: Should a gentleman
precede or follow a lady when enter
ing and when leaving a restaurant?
(2) When a man meets a woman by
chance in a car, is it good form for
him to pay her fare? (3) la it neces
sary for a remove his
hat in an elevator? I have heard dif
ferent opinions in regard to it. Than*
you.. Hi .F.
The lady precedes the gentleman
entering and leaving a restau-
lant. (2) Some men insist upon pay
ing the fare of a woman whom they
meet by chance in a car, which is
quite proper. However, he is not un
der obligation to do so vnlcss he
wishes. (3) The question of whether
or not a gentleman removes his hat in
an elevator has long been debateu.
Some argue that an elevator is in the
same class as a room, while others
say that it is in the class of the
street. However, all etiquette author
ities regard the elevator as a small
room,^inasmuch as it has a ceiling,
and the courteous ^nan should remove
his hat—especially while there are
women in it. Ir the gentleman wisl.-
es—and there are no ladies in the car
—he may remove his hat upon enter
ing the car, and immediately replace
it.
Dear Miss Flo: Is there any set
rule in regawl to what side of an
automobile a lady should take when
accompanied by an escort? (2) In
stepping from the car, should the lady
wait for the gentleman to leave the
car? S. E.
There is no rule as to which side
the lady occupies in a car., She en
ters the car first, and takes the seat
furtherest away, whether it is the
right or left. (2) When leaving the
car, the lady waits for the gentleman
to lead the way in order that he may
assist her.
Dear Miss Flo: When introducing
a lady and gentleman, is it necessary
for the lady who is making the intro
duction to arise? (2) Should the
gentleman or the lady, upon being in
troduced the second time, recall the
first introduction? (3) When a young
married woman is being introduced to
an older woman, whom she has al
ready met, should she recall the first
introduction or wait for the older
we man to mention it? D. S.
A person making an introduction
should arise. (2) The gentleman
should recall the previous introduc
tion. He might say, “I believe I have
had the pleasure of meeting Miss
at Mrs. Brown’s reception. (3)It is
the duty of the younger woman to re
call the former introduction. She
might say, “I have met Mrs. Brown.”

Crimson Tornado
Sweeps Newberry Hi
(Contributed)
Those strife-scarred, undying tra
ditions of Clinton Hi brought them
to a 21 to 0 triumph over Newberry
on Brown field Thanksgiving day and
wound up a most successful season in
a manner befitting the day, that of
Thanksgiving. And now that the
boys have completed these months of
toil they have before them the temp-
tions of a host of good feeds.
Clinton won because its spirit never
faltered, because it grinned at frown
ing barriers and went through. Out
played was Newberry. They were out
kicked and out passed. Neighbors
booted his way to the loftiest heights
his toe has ever led him. Claude
Trammell left Newberry dizzy with
his crafty timing of aerial shots. Once
his unerring aim brought a touch
down to the Crimson Tornado. A 25-
yard whirl to Hugh Brown scored for
them in the second canto. But it
was the Crimson Tornado’s defense
which stripped the laurel tree to adorn
Gus Blakely, Clifton Adair, McIn
tosh, and all the. rest. Trammell hSs
climbed to the crux many times in
the past to bring back decorations
from gridiron gods. His other up
ward journeys were trips to the crest
of a; molehill. This day he reached
who battled -as did the son of-Clin-
ton Thanksgiving day. They might
as well have attempted to dig up
Lake Superior with a jug as to move
with Trammell blocking the line.
If victory lay behind, Clinton
would have walked bouyantly across
gleaming hot ploughshares in hell,
had Jodie Hollis told them to. New
berry came with line plunges as its
theme, but the drive crumpled against
the Red and White barrier. Summers
was stopped and with Summers stop
ped Newberry was stopped.
Trammell and Blakely alternating
in carrying, crushed their way down
to Newberry’s one-foot line where
Trammell walked through tackle for
a touchdown in the last period.
Neighbors place-kicked for the extra
point. Clinton scored their other
touchdown in the third period wh?n
Blakely rushed around end for 25
yards on crossing the goal.

Uncle Jahn
My Aunty Flapper’s caught the
craze to pattern after youthful ways;
she loves the girlish paces. . . Her
painted jowls defies the stage—be
sides her other camouflage, in various
other places. She never does a thing
by halves, an’ so displays her fatted
calves with native erudition. . . Shtf
spends a lot fer fancy hose—till every
skinny neighbor knows she banters in
discretion! I couldn’t say her wealth
of bust was somethin’ to excite dis
gust in any whiskered artist. In fact
I wouldn’t sign my name to any dope
that carries blame to one who looks
her smartest. “This world is all a
fleetin’ show”—our transient natur’
makes it so,—we’re all averse to sor
row, and, while we can’t guess
Aunty’s age, because of that-air
camouflage—she may be gone tomor
row! And while she travels with a
zip, I reckon we should let her rip.
with girly-girly unction. . . My heirs
can’t throw much dust at me, if I
prove good an’ pure as she, when I
have ceased to function.
