Author of "ETIQUETTE," "THE BLUE BOOK OF SOCIAL USAGE," ETC YESTERDAY'S GENERATION ASKS? ~ r\ EAR Mrs. Pest: My eighteen year-old daughter Is very fond of tennis and cannot understand why I hold It Is not seemly for her to ride off with three boys to play tennis. I tell her she should suggest asking an other girl to go with theui. She con siders me hopelessly "old-fashioned" and I have endeavored with little suc cess to show her what you have voiced In the past : that conventiono, though regarded by the present generation as Irksome, have most excellent reasons for their existence, and observance of them would prevent regrets. Will you please express an opinion of my view? Answer: Although, according to the present point of view, there Is not the ! slightest Impropriety In going off now | and then with three boys to play ten nis, I agree that It would be a seri ous mistake should she miLke going about alone with buys n habit. This Is J because a girl, who Is always with , boys, and never goes about with other gl r 1 8. puts herself In a very Insecure i position. Perhaps you might explain , to her that alter all the svord dedas see means a woman whom the wives, | mothers and sisters of her men friends refuse to know. ? * ? Dear Mrs. Post: What should I teach my son. who is nine years old. to reply to an introduction? I want him to sa.v "ma'am" but I am told this Is Incorrect. Answer: To a man. "How do you do, sir"; to a woman "How do you do, Mrs. Joneo." "Ma'am" hns al ways been a colloquialism ? except when replying to royalty. Hut why "sir" Is used when speaking to a gen tleman and why "ma'am" Is said to ladles In only a few localities Is Just one of those things that seem to have little reason further than that usage has made It so. ? ? ?

INVITATIONS DRAR Mrs. Post: The other dny we received this Invitation: "Dear Mrs. Jones? Will yon and Marie come In for tea on Monday, October 2 at 4:30? Mrs. Blank Is staying with me nnd I nave asked a few friends In to meet her." I know thai ordinarily an invitation to ffii written on a visit ing card, or an engraved invitation, need not he answered. But what about this one? Answer: This one Is an especially polite Invitation to tea In the form of a persona) note. II should be an swered with n note siiylng. "Marie and 1 will be delighted to take tea with you on Monday, and to meet Mrs. Blank," ? ? ? My dear Mrs. Po;?t: 1 am moving very soon, and a few days after I'm settled In my new apartment I would like to have a cocktail party. Could I tell my friends that I have moved to a new address and also Invite them in the same Invitation? Answer: Of course! ? * ? Dear Mrs. Post: My sister received a wedding Invitation for the ceremony and reception of a very dear friend of hers who lives out of town and whom sister has not seen for several years. She cannot go and Instead of the usual third person acknowledg ment to her friend's parents, would it not he better for her to write a personal note arid explain why she cannot be at the wedding? Answer: Of course to this, too. ? ? 4 My dear Mrs. Post: We have In vited out of town friends to come stay with us for a week. I feel that they will drive In their car. which mean* that they will have their chauffeur In town. too. Are we supposed to pnv for garage rent and also to find ?? place for their man to stay, because we have no additional sleeping rooms where we could accommodate him? Answer: No. Their car and their Chauffeur are their responsibilities. If you have several servants and it is convenient to you to Invite him to take his meals In your kitchen, he may per haps accept this Invitation. Or no may even then prefer to eat at n restaurant of his own choosing. At all events, the responsibility to lodge and hoard him would be yours only If you lived In a big hoirse fnr out In the country. ? b\ Kmlly ? W Ml) SArvtc*.

Knch yenr *ve read with sentimen tal Interest descriptions of the cele bration of "Old Christinas" by fish erfolk and other residents of the an cient village of Ilodanthe, on the long and narrow outer barrier Is lands that Impound Pamlico sound off North Carolina. Sometimes we read that the celebration Is held on Januar> ft and sometimes that it Is held on January G, the difference be ing that Twelfth Night, or Old Christmas Kve, may have greater emphasis in celebration than Twelfth ?fide on Twelfth Day (Old Christmas Day) as the villagers continue a celebration that extends back to their forefathers and even the time of Sir Walter Ilalelgh and establish ment of the first Knglish colony in the New world. However, if we search the back districts of the Missouri O/.arks, It Is quite illcely that we could find this belated celebration of Christmas much closer to our own modern homes, as well as hear the belief ex pressed that on Twelfth Night cattle of the fields kneel In greeting 1o vho new-born Christ. This tradi tion and refusal to accept the calendar correction^ of I'ope (Ireg orv were brought to this coun try by early settlers from Pritain and persisted for many generations not only In the harrier Islands Mint pro tect North Carolina from the railing sea, but In the mountains along the eastern seaboard, spreading even to the O/.arks of Missouri and Arkan sas as the mountaineers sought new homes. It Is fitting, however, that the tra dition had its spread only by family and that the outstanding community expressions remains near the place It was introduced to America, in Dare county, North Carolina, where the first white chHd to he horn In America came into being. This child was Virginia Dare, granddaughter of John White, a leader, whose small Itoanoke island colony disappeared without trace while White was on a journey home for supplies. Itodanthe is only about a score of miles from Itoanoke island and a part of the same chain- of banks, with Kitty Hawk, where the tirst successful airplane flight was made, only a few miles away on the same chain. So what better place cmjlit be found for the support of tradi tion, even though there be some un certainty whether It Is In observ ance of Old Christmas Kve or Old Christmas Day that fishing nets are laid aside? ? St. Louis Globe Demo crat. Effects of War Gates Most physicians believed at the close of the Wdrld war that the re sults of the gas attacks during the war would surely be the development of tuberculosis and bronchial trou bles among the victims. Fifteen ears have passed without the feared after effects. A careful check by the War de partment and the Veterans bureau has revealed that very few of the tubercular and bronchial cases can be laid at the door of gas attacks. In most of these cases it Is believed that the germs were already present and not caused by the gas. Medical officers believe that enough time has passed to show up any after effects caused by the gas experience. ? Pathfinder Magazine.
