THE WISHING HOUR
My Dear Little People I have jtibt this very minute thought of a beau

Do you want a new dress, a wireless outfit, a piano, an automobile, a

AH of us want somethinp;, and that something is usually WHAT WE

If you lmvo been wishing and wishing for something and your wish
has not been granted, would you liko 19,999 other childicn, including ME,
to help you get your wish?
No, no, no! I do not mean that they will bring you a new doll, a battle
ship, a new pair of stockings or a big bobsled. But
I mean wo all (now 20.000 strong) shall wish nt fi o'clock p. in. every

to usk a ghl to It, and docs not know

fiiquestionably tlio fliinco should bo In

advise me In legaid to tlio following mat
ter: When a ouug man Is Willi n girl In
a street car is It proper when they nro
getting off for him to lead tlio way, or
should bo let tho young lady Bet off llrst?
This matter Is one that seems to puz
zle many people, although thero should
bo no reason for It. as tho first duty of a
man when ho is cscoitlng a girl should
bo to protect her and assist her In eveiy
way possible, nnd when nllghtlug from a
car or veblclo of any kind ho most cer
tainly should precede her nnd stand ready
to take her band ns sho Heps down This
brings another1 question to my mind that
Is the unnecessary and provincial habit
of linking arms on tho street This Is ex
cusable only when the pavements aro veu
slippery or when the man's companion Is
lame or otherwise unable to walk unas
sisted, tn which caso tho man should offer
his arm and not, Instead, hold tho woman's
elbow and uso It as a sort of rudder to
bteer her tluough a crowded place.
Formal Invitations Proper

and, having some connection with mutual
friends, decided he would like to Invite
them to bis house. A. said lie did not
know how to address them, but Insisted it
should be a peison.il Informal uoto, and
H hold that the invitation should be sent
in the third pcisou. Can ou tell me
which was correct? C. V.
n li unquestionably correct As A bad
only mot these persons 011 one occasion,
