7 ' 10 VfiNlftG LEDGfER-PHILADBLPHlA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 191G ETIQUETTE QUERIES MARION HARLAN DCOM ME NT OF M'LISS COOKEfeY PASHION8 IKEEP STIFF UPPER LIP, M'LISS" ADVISES LOVELORN MAIDENS tfhe World Is Young Yet and Men Are Still the Aggressors If You Don't Believe It, Try Proposing to One r OF ALt, the Jwords of tongue or pen, the saddest.- maddest nnd most un lever are these: I love him more than fee loves me.- i They .come bo often In letters from the lovelorn who believe that some third and disinterested person Is quail fted to tell them how to throw the lariat nt love so that a fleeing victim may bo brought to his "knees nnd corralled. Instead ot sympathizing with these women who wear their hearts on their sleeves, I seem always to be niled with an unholy elation at the perspicuity of the men In escaping from them. The most attractive trait that any one can have, the one most provocative of universal admiration, whether It is found In man, woman or child, Is tho ability to keep a stiff upper Up. All tho world loves a lover when ho or she Is filled with the Joy of life that only a reclpro cated affection generates, but few per sons have much time for the hang-dog victim of an unrequited affection, par ticularly when she It's usually a woman j Is afflicted with the curse of taking the Universe Into her confidence. A clever woman never throws herself J at a man's head. She knows that would be an unmistakable signal for htm to , duck. Few men can stand the strain of being proposed to. It makes cither con ceited asses of them or expert mara thoners. In a few Isolated Instances, perhaps, n man will be found who Is advanced enough to recognize a woman's right to abrogate tho time-honored and I time-consuming chaqo of tho courtship; jher privlleze to speak for herself when , the happiness of her Ufa is at stake. Uut only the very "biggest" kind of women can "get away" with a proposal. Qcorge Sand might have. Queen Vic toria did. Also Longfellow's Prlscltla, nnd, by her own confession, Mrs. Inez Mllholland Dolssevaln. There have been many moro which didn't get Into print. These woro women from whom no man in his sane senses would havo run away. They wero pretty suro of Jholr ground. And if they hadn't been and had been refused they would havo borno their disappointment with a loftiness of manner that would havo commanded respect and silence, Instead of tho ridi cule and Jibes that tho babblers call forth by their asthmatic sighing after one who loves them not. A great love, whether rejected or ac cepted, should Inspire a great dignity. The women who sob out their hearts to me In words of sickly sentlmontatism are not capable of a great love. They become Imbued with a pale-pink passion for some altogether commonplace creature who at onco becomes tho Francis X. Bushman or Maurice Costello of their dreams. "How can I regain his affection?" is tho recurring wall. To these damsels who wrlto It to mo I would say once and for all, now and forever, world without end, nmen, "You can't." In tho first place, the gentlemen aro probably not worth loving. In the second place, you your selves aro not capable of any sustained affection worthy of the name love, or you wouldn't be writing to me about It. To only the chosen few Is tho capacity for a real, abiding affection given. And they aro enriched whether their love Is returned or not. M'LISS.

This column will appear In Uandav', Wednesdays and Friday'! Evening 'Ledger. ' Street Car Controversy Dear .Deborah Itush I see there hai been much written to you about men giving up their seata to women In crowded cars. Now I am advanced In yeara, being eeventy-one. and I would like to know If you think I ahould offer my aeat to a woman going home on the car at night after a day of hard work? It doesn't eeem reasonable to me and yet. eeventy-one though 1 am, I want to do the light thing. OLD UOV. Strictly speaking, a man no matter what his age Bhould offer his scat to a woman when the car Is crowded. But when a man has reached your ago I cannot think that any woman, unless she too was of an ad vanced age, would accept the seat. I should say that you would be excusable If you did not offer the seat, though, strictly speaking, It would be In order that you should do so. One for Each Dear Deborah Itush I received carde yeiter day for a tea to be given next month, when the daughter In this family will make her debut. The card read Mr. and Mrs. . Mlea and Mlea Elizabeth . and on the umi card le the addreaa of the houee and the date and houra of the tea. Then beatdea the tea card there are two carda ot the boya In the family. I may not be able to go. and at any rate It I do go J am told I muit take carde. Will you tell me pleaie whether one of my own carda and one of my husband'a would be the proper thing to leave? Also If I am not able to go. should I send a formal regret? ' MKS. F. K. L. It Is never good form to regret a .tea In vitation. If you cannot go mall cards on the day of the tea and If you go. take cards with you, so you see cards are necessary In either case. The number of cards to send should be .regulated by the number of per sons who have sent you the Invitation cards, yours being sent to the women and your husband's to tho men, and as In the case you cite there ore three women and three men you should send or leave If you go, three of your own cards and three of your husband's. If you mall them, of course send all six In one envelope. Family Calls First Dear Deborah liushVfin you help me In a queetlon of etiquette? I am engaged to a young glri of eighteen nnd X want her to come with me to meet my family. She aoya that my family ehould call on her first. I want to know which Is correct. I have not told my people yet and I thought I would tell them when I take my fiancee to aee them. BAM. Your fiancee Is quite right You should tell your family first and they should call on her before you take her to your home. Your plan ot breaking the news In her presence might pro ire very awkward and em barrassing for both of you. When people are taken by surprise they often say and do un expected things, and your family would really have a right to be annoyed at having tho news of your engagement, no matter how charming and sweet the girl may be, told them for the first time in her presence. DEBOItAH BUSH. Remember Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land, Where you can no more hold me by the hand. Nor I half turn to go, yet, turning, stay, llemember me when no more day by day You tell me ot the future that you planned; Only remember 'me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. ,Yet If you would forget me for a while And afterward member, do not grieve; For If the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had. Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sod. Christina Ilossettl. Tomato Bisque It's a good soup, quickly made.

Fashion Hints Shower bouquets of ribbon, rosettes with many ends, like the ends of ribbon falling from a bride's bouquet, are UBed to trim some of the new negligees. Some of the Paris dressmakers are rec ommending high-necked dinner frocks with transparent bodices Instead ot those with a very low neck line. ' Height In hats, a desirable feature, Is often achieved by, the use ot a huge, stiff ribbon bow. Brighten the Corner Where You Are All through the house you can use Poree-llto to advantage.

One very high authority says autumn be gins Heptembcr 21 or 22, another contends It opened the season the 21st, and still an other asserts that It will begin tomorrow, September 22, at 4:14 a. m. The last mentioned time Is agreed upon by User's Agricultural Almanac, the National Alma nac, several local educators, the weather man nnd generally wise men nbout town. Differences of opinion nre due to mathe matical variation as to whep tho sun crosses the equator. The sun has a habit of crossing Just when It pleases, rtgardless of rumors, thus bringing about the autumnal equinox. So In view of the situation it would be well to have n Blanco at your winter wear and the coal bin. Many will regard sum mer's passing with n sigh of relief, ns It means that mosquitoes nnd other summer pests are on their last legs. To Borne It heralds the passing of the Ico bill, but as It also marks the beginning of the coal bill they do not know whether' to smile or frown. The fleeing summer carries with It many vacation romances, which will be succeeded. no doubt, by many more during the regular dancing season. nut the follies of youth, foolish as they may seem, have a decidedly practical vatue. The boy or girl who yearns for popularity realizes that up-to-date appearance Is es sential to the cause. Therefore tho clothier, the haberdasher, tho shoer, the Jeweler and the hairdresser are assured of good busi ness when such whlrrts and ambitions pre vail. It Is quite true also that the desire for good dressing seems to be more em phatlo now than ever- before. If It helps business, why not encourage ItT So with summer crossing the line It is tlmo to prepare. Tho weatherman says that on this, the last day of summer, tho sun will shine twelve hours ana twelve mln utes. The sun began Its good work today at 6:48 a. m. and Is scheduled to continue until 6 o'clock, when It will set and rest. On or about September 22 the ecliptic or great circle which the sun appears to de scribe In the heavens In tho course of the year crosses the terrestrial equator. The point of Intersection Is termed the equinoc tial point or the equinox, because at that period the earth ns It revolves on Its axis has exactly one-half of Its surface Illumi nated by the sun's rays whllo tho other hall remains In darkness, prbduclng the phe nomenon of equal day and night all over tho world. 3IRS. A. C. DULLESDI PROVING Philadelphia Womnn, 111 From Pto- malno Poisoning at Newport Home, on Way to Recovery Word was received in Philadelphia today that the condition of .Mrs. Andrew Cheves 'Dulles, who became 111 nt Newport Wednes day night with ptomaine poisoning, was slightly Improved. Mrs. Dulles, whoso town house Is at 319 South Twelfth street, was so ill the night beforo last as to causo her physician and son-in-law and daughter, Mr. nnd Mrs. Et tore It.

Plunkett Stewart Shows Quick Wit and Nerve, Driving Auto Onto Pavement Philadelphia society discussed with In terest today the exhibition of courage and quick Judgment shown by Mrs. W. riunkett Stewart, wlfo of the Main Line horseman, when her touring car collided with a Jitney yesterday at Newport. Mrs. Stewart, who was Miss Elsie Cas satt, had Just crossed the Jamestown ferry when the Jitney bobbed up and the Btnash followed. Mrs. Stewart ran her car on the sidewalk In an unsuccessful effort to avoid a collision, but saved her chauffeur and herself from Injury. To Make Your Skirts Wide Cords and wires are used Instead of the crinoline to make skirts stand out Just now. Hoops are still on the market, and their popularity promises to remain, despite rumors of the narrow silhouette. Feather boning also makes skirts look wider. For the real distended hoop, natural reeds are shown. Haircloth braids come tn all colors and sizes for the same purpose. Founda tion yokes for skirts with a flare to them are to be bought at the notion counter of any large department store. New Lemonade When you make lemonade again try this method. Place the squeezed lemon-halves In a fair-sized pitcher, and pour boiling water over them. After this has been al lowed to stand for a couple of hours, strain off tho water and put It In a clean pitcher the one you Intend to serve your lemonade from. Mix this with a lemonade made In the usual manner and notice the Improved flavor. The delicate lemon peel gives a do Uclous tang to the whole. Try This Punch holes In both ends of an empty baking powder can to keep scraps of soap In.
