WOMAN'S PAGE. Simple Rules for Introductions BY LYDIA LE B. The woman who can introduce stran- 8o graciously that they feel im- mediately drawn to one another has an enviable gift in the social world. ‘While there are few who excel in this matter, every one can become suf- ficlently skilled in making introduc- tions to avold embarrassment either for herself or those whom she is pre- senting. There are certain definite rules that must be learned or the formalities will 7o be observed correctly. A man is| always presented to A Woman unless ONE SHOULD ALWAYS MAKE INTRODUCTIO; WITH THE AIR OF ITS BEING A PLEAS- he is-a high dignitary. A young per- eon is always introduced to an older one.

Now, Chatterer the Red Squirrel and his big cousins, Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel and Rusty the Fox Squirrel, loved the daylight. They do not like the Black Shadows that come creeping up from the Purple Hiils after jolly, round, red Mr. Sun has gone to bed. They take care to be 8t home enugly curled up in bed by the time the Black Shadows reach the Green Forest. They are up and out and about just as soon as jolly, round, yed Mr. Sun begins his daily climb in the blue, biue sky, and all day Jong their sharp eyes are vruchln‘%l'l that goes on about them. It is ¢ same way with their little ‘cousin, Btriped Chl{munk. He, too, loves the , but not the night. ere’ is, however, another Squirrel cousin who comes out with the coming | juy, of the Black Shadows and goes back to bed with the coming of the Jolly Little Sunbeams.

It makes no difference. The person entering a room is introduced to those present at an informal gath ering where there are few persons. At a large gathering introductions are not made by a hostess, for all are triends of the hostess, and, therefore, friendly toward one another. But if two friends meet and are joined by a third know to but one in the group. then the newcomer Is introduced according to any one of the precedents named above. A person should never be taken around a room and be intro- duced to those already in the room. She may be taken to some special one because of mutual interests or one who is decidedly older. A man who is to meet A woman is taken to her, never she to him. hTese are the most important rules governing introduc- tions, though there are many more to suit special occasions, special per- sonages, ete. Form. The form which ordinary introduc- | tion takes has grown exceedingly | simple. The mere naming of two | persons is sufficient. It is important, | however, to name them in correct | order! Inflection plays a decided part. It is almost as if the names were a | question and an answer, for the first has a rising inflection and the second an evenness, as if there was a rounded sentence rather than the mere giving THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

A more formal introduction is made by mentioning the name of the senior or more important person or the | woman (when a man is being intro- | dueed) and following it with “may I | present” or “I wish to present (nam- | ing the other) to you.” Tt is not con- sidered in the best of taste to say, “Mrs. Smith T want you to meet Mrs. Jones,” for this immediately implies that Mrs. Smith is not of so much importance as Mrs. Jones. It is quite | another matter to say of friends whom you feel will enjoy each other, “Mrs. Smith, I have wanted you and Mrs. Jones to meet one another. for you are interested in the same things.” Acknowledgments. Never say “I'm pleased to meet you" when asknowledging an Intro- duction. The eorrect thing to do is to repeat the pame of the person to whom you are introduced. This signifi you have understood the name and that it is a pleasure to speak it. That is the right inflection to use. It is surprising how much pleasure can be signified merely by speaking the name with a gracious smile on your lips. It also indicates that the hostess or the one making the' introductions has given the name clearly and distinctly. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS never haad starved and he didn’t expect to starve, but he feit that it would be a lot more comfortable if he had a little more food stored away. So when quite by accident he discovered one of Chatterer’s storehouses he prompt- Iv helped himself. He guessed whose storehouse it was, but it is the law of the Green Forest that whatever one may find one may keep. It wasn't stealing, as it would have been had you or I taken these nuts. It is the iaw of the Green Forest that one must hide things so that they cannot be found. If they are found they become the property of whoever finds them. So Timmy didn’'t hesitate to empty that storehouse. \ Then a little later he found another storehouse of Chatterer's and this one was filled with sweet, tender beech- nuts. How those big, soft eyes of 's did sparkle and how he did work that might! You should have seen him make long, fiving mpe from tree to tree as ha carried those muts—those sweat, tender beech- nuts—o & private little storehouse of his own. By the time jolly. round. red Mr. Sun began his daily elimb not one little beechnut was left in Chat- terer’s storehouse, and Timmy him- self was curled up In_ his bed fast asleep. That is why Chatterer saw of him and didn’t once sus- WOU EHOULD HAVE SEEN HIM MAKE THOSE LONG, FLYING JUMPS FROM TREE TO TREE. - A5y mor dark. He loves the dusk, the very time that Hooty the Owl and Spooky the Screech Owl and all other mem- bers of the Owl family love. They are the ones he has to watch out for, but he doesn’t have to worry much about members of the Hawk family. Now, Timmy likes nuts quite as well 8s do some of his larger cousins. He eats seeds of various kinds, as well as nuts. In fact, he eats just about what Chatterer the Red Squirrel eats. But when you have had several cousins working hard all day, by the time night comes there are few nuts to be found. So it happened that while Chatterer and Happy Jack and Rusty and Striped Chipmunk had their storehouses well filied, Timmy was not #o fortunate. He didn't worry, for he is not the worrying kind. He Exquisite Facial Soap Rids Skin of Blackheads You'll be surprised—and delighted —to lcarn what one treatment can ac- complish! Blackheads are a mixture of de- composed sweat, oil and dirt, solid- ified in the tiny cone-shaped pores of the skin, because ordinary toilet goap or face creams have not dis- solved and washed them away. But Chex—an_exquisite, superfine toilet soap contains a purifying, odor- fess deodorant, not found in any other soap: which, in the velvety, creamy lather, penetrates to the very bottom of the tiny pores and dis- solves every bit of the decomposed, hardened secretions. at your ity e never offending— — Al ery hour in 24.7 fine_so: Chex coste no more than ans id toilet counters.

For you to take something which be- longed to another would be wrong. It would be wrong for one of the little people in the Green Forest to take something from another by fighting for it. That would be robbery. . But to find something and take it would not be wrong. That is Old Mother Nature's way of training her little people to be 8o clever and smart that they can hide things where no one will find them. They know that if they hide them where others are ljkely to find them they deserve to lose them. So had Timmy heard Chat- terer calll him “thief” it wouldn't have troubled him any, for he-feit that he wasn't a thief, but simply smart—smart enough to find Chat- terer's storehouse.

So I came home and I thought T know now how Joan feels when she says she is just worried sick, and Joan said, “Aren’t the baby's cheeks pink? I had him out for a nice, long ride in his buggy . and 1 thought, oh, If you knew all I know, but I did not v anything about it because I have to act cheerful so she will not be worried too. ‘While Joan was out of the room I looked at the baby's legs again, and he was just as bowlegged as he was yesterday, and after a while 1 sai “How much cod liver eil do you giv the baby, Joan?" and she said, “Half a teaspoonful a day.” and I sald, “Is that enough?" and she said, ‘“Plenty.

A Young Fatalist, Dear Miss Leells: ‘My face is ter ribly disfigured with blackheads and pimples and everything that makes a bad complexion. T have tried dieting, creams, Iotions, steaming, blood puri fiers and every remedy I ever heard of, but without success. T have come to the conclusion that it is just nat- ural for me to have a poor complexion and nothing can be done about it. I get so discouraged! Did you ever know of any one who was cured of com- plexion troubles as bad as mine? 1 am 20 years old. ELEANORA. Answer—Don’t be too down-hearted, my dear, because your case is by no | means unique. You say you have tried | every remedy, but ou consulted | a skin specialist? Your trouble is an infection called acne and requires medical treatment. If you had an in- fection in your throat or elsewhere in your body, vou would call in a special- ist, would you not? You would not rely entirely on home remedies. Mild cases of acne may be treated success- fully at home, but severe casse like yours often need X-ray or other spe- cial treatments that only a specialist can give. You have 1y made the condition worse by trying all sorts of cures. If you give vour | skin intelligent care now, under a physician’s direction, it will clear up in a few years. LOIS LEEDS.
