MIND YOUR MANNERS Test your knowledge of correct social usage by answering the fol lowing questions then checking against the authoritative answers below: 1. Is it a good idea for a week end hostess to have copies of cur rent magazines and of new books out in plain sight where guests may pick them up during dull moments? 2. Would it be better for a hos tess to say to a guest, ‘‘What time would you like to be called in the morning?” or “Would you rather get up and have breakfast with the family at 7 or sleep until you waken and have a tray in your room?” 3. Should a hostess have ciga rettes in a guest room? 4. Would it be thoughtful for a weekend hostess to provide a Sun day morning newspaper for each oi her guests, so that if they are in the habit of reading the Sunday morning paper in bed they can do so? 5. If your hostess suggests an after-lunch nap, should you fall in with the plan if all you do is retire to your bedroom to read or give yourself a manicure? What would you do if— You are used to playing bridge for money, but you see that your host and hostess evidently are not— fa) Don’t say anything about the fact that you are used to playing for money? (b) Say, “Let’s play for some thing a point just to make the game interesting?” Answers 1. Yes. 2- The latter. Otherwise the guest will try to hit on a time he thinks is convenient for the hostess, and Probably it won’t be convenient for either of them. 3. Yes. Yes, very thoughtful. 5- Yes.

If things went wrong a wife could always threaten, and if necessary carry out the old challenge, “I don’t have to put up with your nasty disposition; I can go home to mother.” Occasionally a husband would also go back to the parental roof when the marital going got tough, but it was too sissy a retreat to appeal to most men. So the men, having no place to go, had to be content with an nouncing, ‘T’m going for a walk,” or “I’m going to the club,” and slamming the front door behind them. WORM AS TURNED Well, the worm has turned. At least the Washington worm has turned. The men there have de cided that they will have some place to go — a nice masculine place which, when used as a threat will scare their wives and, when the threat has to be made good, will give them a pleasant retreat with agreeable male companions thrown in. In short, a group of men in Personals T. M. Barnes has left for his home in Miami, Fla., after a visit here with his brother, M. R. Barnes. Mrs. J. D. Horne and daughters, Misses Elizabeth and Virginia Horne and Mrs. George Little of Wadeaboro, are spending two weeks at the Landis cottage at Wrights ville Beach. * * ♦ Mrs. B. H. Marshall is a patient at the James Walker Memorial hospital. * * * Miss Caroline Miller, formerly of this city, now of New York, has arrived to attend the MacMil lan-Fenley wedding which is to take place on Saturday afternoon. * * * Mr. and Mrs. Clarence D. Maf fitt have as their guests at their summer cottage at Wrightsville Beach, Mrs. M .L. Woodward and son, George Morton Woodward of Miami Beach, Fla. - - - . o, -. ... 1. Mrs. Henry Stevens is a patient at the James Walker Memorial hospital. Mrs. Stevens is the wife of Judge Stevens. ' ■ F. P. Montgomery has returned to Miami, Fla., after visiting- his moth er, Mrs. R. A. Montgomery, at her home, 602 Orange street. * * * Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Darden and Mrs. Mary D. Hardwicke and daughter, Miss .Elizabeth Hard wicke, who have been spending Washington, and their ranks are swelling fast—has formed a club called “The Run Out Husband’s Club.” HOLDING HIS CLUB OVER WIFE’S HEAD Any members who "run out” on their wives can count on other members for sympathy and com panionship and help in finding a temporary substitute home. There isn’t a clubhouse yet, but that’s in the plans for the future, and when they have that, they’ll be even with their wives who have mothers waiting to take them in. It looks like the kind of idea that might catch on fast. So ladies, if you would rather not see a “Run Out Husband’s Club” in your own town, there are just two things to do. Doj’t ever again threaten going home to mother. And’ treat the man of the house in such a way he won’t want to run out. Don’t say you weren’t warned if you ignore this advice and your husband joins a new club—a club you can just bet he’ll hold over your head. 1 the past month on the Northern Extension at Wrightsville Beach, will move to their home on South Front street today.
