Discussion vs.
Argument
DXSCUMION is the Will of
- converse:
Argument is destruc-
lion.
There is no men or woman who
is quite so much of a bore in
social life as the one who arenas.
and the strangest thing about it
is that these very persons seldom
suspect that their habit of argu-
ing is making them very unpopu-
lor. When they and themselves
avoided or woke up to the fact
thet they are no longer invited to
the horn- of certain friends. th‘y
suspect any other cause then the
real ones. .
Hostessee whose husbands and
friends are much interested in
political adeirs are wise who check
e political argument in its incipi-
ency. if any one sets you when
you are acting as hostess for a
statement of opinion that liIht
lead to unpleasant feeling you are
justihed in saying something like
this: "Oh. i must tell you that
we don't dare talk about the We

like drastic measures. but it is bot-

V —thn You Buy
Shoes
HE other day a shoe salesmen
commented on the fact that
a women had recently more
into his store asking for a shoe
in sine S AA. Not having a latte
assortment of shoes in that also
be measured the women‘s shoe
and found that her foot really
measured to e 5 D shoe. He
told her this. but she denied ll.
She rather resented the sugges-
tion that she had a foot that was
wide. She preferred her double

ever. they compromised. she end

away with a 6 C.
As this women had worn her
shoes. the bell of her foot come
where the instep should have
come. The long narrow shoe was
not suited to her foot at all. hence
she had to get it out of all pro-
portion in length.
There are ell sorts of misfittings
of shoes nowadays. but in the
majority oi cases these are due
to the people who buy the shoes
preconceived notions of what size
shoes they should wear. if they
feel convinced their foot is nar-
row then the salesman simply has
to give them a shoe long enough
in that width to accommodate the
foot. “'ith the long. narrow lest
that still seems to persist most
women do buy shoes that are
much longer then their feet in
order to be able to wear them
with anything like comfort.
Now. it really is a very good
plan to let the shoe dealer measure
your foot carefully before fitting
your shoe. in shoe shops where
a specialty is made oi titling up:
usual feet trained salespeople not
only measure the feet. but feel of
the bony structure of the foot and
make careful observation so as to
know just wh‘ type of shoe it
requires.

of course he cannot fail to mie-
understand whet the girl he is
talking to says. no is headless.
abstracted. worried and hes a way
of listening to the conversation of
others rather that to those at
hand.
The. girl whom men regard as
e talker is always ready with
a sugh and the girl who laughs
well is always popular. One can
excuse the girl who miss if she
giggles in a way that makes others
merry and seems to tell those with
whom she talks that they are on-
terteiaieg her immensely. that
their atori are deliciously funny
--thouga t or may be very stupid
—-end that on the whole she is
enioying herself and her com-
panions enormously.

1 HowAbout It?
HE man who knows how to do
the right thing at the right
time does not neglect to intro-
duce the men he does business with
to the stenograohcr or private RC"-
tary with whom tbev associate in
business dealings. To ask a young
women to take dictation from some
associate without first introducing
him or her is to treat the young
woman as an automaton.
Take. for instance, a lawyer who
has a etenoxltpher “ho attends to
many of the detail: or his work.
makes and unmekr-s cogent-merits
for him and meets his clients for
him in his absence or when he is
busy. As noon on n new client
.comes into the oilice. without mak-
ing any special to do about it. the
employer- introduces the new client
to the slenompher: Because she is
a women the men is presented to
‘her with some such words as this:

:nf my important caeea and i know
«he will be glad to be (if service to
lyou." if the client be a woman then
'1 Le stenox‘raphcr would be the one
‘ :nfl‘oduced. .
The stenoarepher need not shake
hands nor should she offer to. but in
case the client made a move to do
so she could not cause an awkward-
nose by not going bolfmu'. Such
an introduction should not be re—
garded either by the etenngrapher
or the client as implying any ec—
ciel recommendation or obligations
whatever. when meeting casually
the atenogropher should merely bow
~—it is always the duty and privilege
of the woman to bow first in this
country—but she should ncl invite
any further sign of recognition than
a doiiin‘ of the bat and a bow on
the port of the business associate.
A business men elweys raises his
hat to your women he sees fre-
quently in i e on! of his oeso-
ciatoo whether or not he has been
introduced to them.
A well-bred man never uses or
permits others to use profanity in
the presence of wornen employee.
Foreigners doing business in this
country often note the lack of pro-
fanity and general high moral tone
of American business odi- and
ascribe it to the fact th‘ women
are usually present. Men lions de-
scend to habits of carelessness that
they would not think of permitting
themselves or each other in the
presence of women.
Every well-bred business man or
employer of any sort remembers al-
ways that the girls he employs are.
his subordinates only in business
hours or when actually about his
business. When meeting them in
the street. or at the theatre. he
would be as courteous and deferen-
tlel no to any other woman of his
acquaintance. A most who speaks
to his women employee when alone
or with men and falls to notice them
when he is accompanied by women

i N our matrimonial matters we
Americans are sometimes ac.
cused of putting the cart before
gthe horse when we permit young
‘men to propose to our daughter
before they have received parental
sanction for the step. And of
course our opinion is that the
Continents] manner of appealing
to the parents before appealing to
the young woman. who is after all
most concerned in the alfalr. is a
piece of absurdity“
However in this matter as in
most that have to do with merr-
day manners. the middle course
proves to be the best one. and al-
though the young woman ought to
be the first to be wusuited, the
suitor after having been accepted
by the young woman. ought to
make speed to seek the couseutvof
the young woman‘s parents or
legal guardian.
Of course we all know that
most young women decide these
things for themselves. and as a
matter of fact parents are quite
glad not to here the responsibility
of selecting anything so important
as a son-in—low. but the custom is
still kept up. it is no more eb-
surd to cling to it than it is to
cling to the custom of asking the
legal guardian of the bride ,to
"give her away" in the marriage
service. although that is a sur-
vival from the time when fathers
actually did exercise a sort of
ownership over their daughters
end women in a man‘s household
bed little more legal status than
his slaves.
The Parenta’ Concent
The custom of asking a parent‘s
consent really amounts to little
moi-b than asking his motion and
his good wishes. and there should
be nothing solemn or formal about
the rocedure. A young women
usue ly knows before she accepts
a suitor her parents' attitude
toward him. for in most Amen

no Marriage Settlement
0a _the continent. and here
when an American girl becomes
engaged to a foreigner of wealth
or position. their is usu‘lly an
elaborately arranged marriage
settlement that makes it perfectly
clear just what wealth the bride
possesses and what her husband's
income is likely to be. The parents
feel it their duty to insure their
daughter a definite income as

If you like
paint the jars with all points with
a small brush. This will with-

A trying kettle—that is a kettle
for deep frying-should be in-
cluded. and this should be of iron.
in the opinion of many persons.
A wire frying basket should be
bought to fit properly inside this
kettle. Even if you have a meet
Kflnder we should have a wooden
chopping bowl and a double obv-
ping knife because some things.
such as cooked potatoes for scal-
loping, ought not to be put
through the grinder. And don’t
forget a pair of scissors. They
are indispensable when p ring

task of cutting mint for mint

When it comes to getting such
things as flour elites and grater
it is economy to buy the best you
can tied. The difference in price
is not ,very great and cheap uten-
sils of this sort are nearly always
unsatisfactory. The same applies
to the wheel egg beater.

this country, too. it is perfectly
fair thnt the father or .iegsla
guardian should know something
of the future son-in-iaw's linen-

man he can sometimes give him
valuable advice or aid in his sf-
faire so that the term of t e en-
gagement is shortened. T e de-
mand for a definite understanding
in this matter.~ mo, tends to
quicken a young man's ambition,
for he feels that in order to marry
the women he loves he must have
achieved a certain business suc-
cess. .
sometimes American young
men take it as an intrusion when
fethers—in-leeuto—be demand a
statement of their financial eon-
ditioa. As a matter of fact cus-
tom gives permission to make
this inquiry. However, once the
Earrings has occurred it is no

more than for the son-in—law to
know the father's affairs. Only
in cases of obvious distress or on

members of her family any right
