This is an indecent habit at any time, but to do so in the company of another man or woman is unpardonable, and is an insult to that person. If absolutely necessary, use a handkerchief as un- obtrusively as possible, and don’t be guilty of the vile habit of examining the contents of the handkerchief. Dispose of it as quickly as possible. Q.Y Who should precede, the woman or the man, when leaving the dining room of a hotel? A. The woman precedes, the man following. Neither should forget the “Good night” to the waiter or headwaiter. Q. How soon after receiving a marriage announcement should one send a gift? A. When an announcement is received, a gift is not necessary. LOOK and lEARN g?c_ GORDON B R 1.

Marynnd Spy Ring Situation No. 2—On Sept. 7, 1947 1 published another expose telling how a little group of government employees had operated a spy ring in a Maryland suburb basement, stealing blueprints of the B-29, photostating them, and sending them by courier to New York and thence to Moscow. The story was considered so sen- sational that many newspapers did not publish it. One and a half later, it made headl when officially revealed by a Cc jonal committee. Situation as of now—Today American people are harassed, wor- ried, and sometimes seething mad They don’t know whom to believe —McCarthy, Tydings, or who? And I don’t particularly blame them. But this much is fairly clear. While the American people have over both shoulders and whispers: “Sorry, no comment.” FRIDAY EVENING SERVICE T0 HAVE SOCIAL ASPECTS Friday evening’s convocation of the 1950 Presbytery of Alaska and the Alaska Presbyterial Society will be of particular social significance, according to Mrs, Willis R.
