If debutantes |do not acknowledge presents which |are showered upon them, whose | fault is it? There is an old Persian | saving: “If thy friend offend thee, |shame on him. If he offend thee | again, shame on thee.” If a young! lady did not acknowledge flowers | that T sent her, it would certainly | be T who was at fault if I sent her {a sccond bunch. It's the American Way It is as natural for an American gentleman to offer to tie a lady's |shoe as it is for him to walk on the outside of the street when he |{s with her, or to lift his hat when he mects her on the avenue. T can see nothing demeaning in a male | assisting a female in any way. Tn | England, as Mr. Nichols would probably admit, the shoe would be {upon the other foot; in effect, an Englishman might very easily re- quest a lady to tie his boot it it| came unlaced while they were out together. And the pity of it is that | the lady would probably perform | the menial task. TIn that situation | the task would indeed be menial. 1 have scen German hausfraus even temove their husbands’ boots and T have no doubt that English wives uiding Your MRS, AGNES LYNE In a machine made world which | has robbed us one after another of | |all charming occasions for ritual {and mellowness of spirit, Christmus ne remains, We should try tof celcbrate not only gencrously but] beautitully. | Mystery and a feeling of the im- minence of a great event are essen- {tiul as a preparation.

He should feel some in- {imation of the universal tenderness | and compuassion that are the essence | of the Christmas story. The jolly preparations whose cus- > differcut in each house should never be neglected.

Mrs. Hoover Painted Pictures in Kansas Old settlers of Clearwater inform of Lou Henry, now Mrs. Herbert Hoover, who will become the first lady of the land next March. Hearing that Mrs. Hoover for- merly had lived in this little Kansas town, Mrs. White sensed a good story for her paper. Leaving the office of the Clearwater News in charge of her husband, Harry White, a blacksmith, she set out to inter- view all the pioneers who might have known Mrs. Hoover. From them she leurned that Lou Henry came here as a 10 year old girl with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles D. Henry, from Waterloo. Towa, her birthplace. That was in 1888. Mr. Henry, a banker, bought the dwelling now occupied by the whites. There the Henry family lived for scveral months before moving to Monterey, Cal, Mrs. White wrote Mrs. Hoover a letter asking for further details, and which Mrs. over the prairies.” Mrs. Hoover said she would al- ways remember finding the first little spring wild flower in the great Sweet Bondage™ would do the same. An American woman—never! Men have no hesitation anywhere in asking women they like to sew buttons upon their coats. Why in the name of heaven, then, should not a man perform the simple office of lacing a lady's shoe, either in public or in private? To be shocked at such a spectacle seems to me the height of absurdity. When Mr. Nichols criticizes the weakness of Amecican husbands, he forgets that there is a sweet bond. age which is sweeter than any kind of freedom. Deny it as we will, we men adore to have our letters an- swered by our wives, our telephone messages taken by them too, our engagements written down on our engagement pads by feminine hands. We are just built that way. All the Freuds in the world cannot cure us. We are hopeless imbeciles where women are concerned, and like the French, we are proud of our imbecility. Women in Their Glory Of course American women are instinctively aware of our strange mental attitude. They glory in their power and we glory in having them glory in it. “He was not particularly strong, because he was not particularly weak.” {8 one of the best epigrams that Mr, Carl Van Vechten has ever written. Surely every man who makes any claim to be a man glories in his subservience to some woman. If this is a national ca- lamity, then I am glad that America has fallen upon evil days. It is not for nothing that wom- en have been labelled all over the world “the gentle sex,” apd the stronger a man is, the more he realizes woman’s fundamental weak- ness and is more manly when he seeks to relieve it |expanse of the prairies and the hap- Py memories of the one summer she spent in the valley of the Ninnescah.
