As matter of fact, one arm is as useful as the other in nearly all cases. He will offer the arm that is convenient. In only two cases is it essential that the right arm be offered. One is when the father is taking his daughter to the altar; the other is when the ibridegrccm is taking her awa@y. A husband must not introduce his wife as "the wife," "the storm and strife," "the Missus" or "the o‘d lady." For if does she is justified in busting aim. He must not offer his hand to a ady when being introduced, but sort of hang around in the offing to see f she makes a move in that direction. One should ariss to give his seat in a street car to an old lady or a young ‘ady who has children, although in these days who is to know whether a young lady has children? When being invited to spend a weekâ€"end I The Introduction. 6 The True Gentleman. Speaking generally a man‘s public attitude toward a woman may be sumâ€" med up in the rule that he should never do anything to attract attention |to her. The writer protests against the enthusiasm which usually greets those scenes in the movies when one man slugs another in the street because the o‘F:2ar has annoyed a lady. What one should do in such circumstances is to hurry the lady away to a place of safeâ€" ty and then return to knock the other man down. If the other man has not remained on the well that‘s so much velvet. Once again, speaking generally, a lady precedes a gentleman into a room, into theatre, into a street car or motor. She even precedes him up staircase, presuming the existence of a staircase, and Miss Hathaway explains that in the olden days when it was not considered ladyâ€" like for a man to be permitted a glimpse of lady‘s ankles, the man went first upstairs. Hoity toity, Gentlemen should not lay their hands on women in public places; still less should they priw them about. A man should not take a lady‘s arm; but the lady if she‘chooses may rest her hand lightly on her escort‘s arm. Like a rose | petal, say we. ‘ was originally.

We have even seen persons whom we presume to have been veteriâ€" nary students enter the elevator withâ€" cut any hats at all, the horses having eaten them, so far as we are able to understand. Our own tactics in such embarrassing situations is what we consider a happy compromise between removing our hat and leaving it as it not including when he goes to bed, to wit: when he meets or passes any woman hs knows; when he joins or { takes leave of a woman in a public ‘place; when speaking to or being spoken to by any woman, whether she be friend or stranger; in acknowâ€" ledging the courtesy another man pays to the woman with him; in meeting or taking leave of an elderly man. In [the last case if the man is very much Fis elder it is the thing to address him ’as "Sir‘"; and if he is pretty old he may have to holler it. On all these cccasions a man is required to raise his hat only. But there are other occaâ€" sions which demand that he not only raise it but remain uncovered. These aire: when entering a room where there are women; when entering an elevator in a hotel, club or apartment house: 'when stopping on the street to speak to a woman. The woman may graciâ€" cusly bid him replace his hat if the weather should be inclement or ‘rainâ€" ing cats or dogs or something, but it is for her to give the signal. An Unsolved Problem Miss Hathaway does not delve into the deeper mysteries of the etiquette of hats in buildings like the Mail and Empire. In the course of a week we see various theories at work.

This is rather detrimental to reâ€" forestation, as no mme likes to set out o0 m ene: The blackcap chickadee, evening grosbeak, nuthatch, woodpeckers, pine sisken and a few blueâ€"jays are the winâ€" ter birds in the woods. Owls, both the snowy and barred, make life hazardous for the mice and rabbits which venture too far from their tunnels and dens. Birds live on seeds, berries and fruits of trzes and shrubs and the coâ€" coms, grubs and eggs of insects. Since practically all insects are enemies of trees, the birds are of untold value to. forestry. It is indeed deplorable that each year during the fire season thousands and thousands of birds‘ nests with the eggs or the young are destroyed by fires. This is not only true in mature forests, but even more so in the grass and mesadow fires. Only a few birds have the hazards of winter. Perhaps the most common or well known is the gray jay, or as it is variously known, the lumberjack, whisâ€" key jack, camp robber and Jay. It lives or spends most of its time in the vicinity of lumber camps and often becomes so tame as to be a nuisâ€" ance. Many a woodsman has set his lunch down on a log, turned around to fix his tea on the fire and found a lumberjack hopping away with a part of his lunch when he turned to eat. Only one rare occasions does one see any of the animals named above, so they would hardly be missed by a winter visitor. But there is a group of woods inhabitants that one would miss, and it is birds. It would be the abâ€" sence of the chirps, twitters and songs and the still whiteness of the woods that would impress one most. Even though the summer visitor fails to notice the birds and ‘their songs, he would most certainly feel that something was missâ€" ing if he visited the woods in winter. The partridge, sharprtail grouse and spruce grouse live on the berries and buds of trees and shrubs. Summer fires which destroy the shrubs and plants bearing berries are one of the limiting factors of game bird producâ€" tion. | The animal citizens in the wcoods, There have beon hot elections in |adapt their living to winter conditions.| Timminsâ€"municipal, provincial and The bear hibernates for the winter, alâ€" | DPominion contests that roused considâ€" thought in a few instances they are @rable excitement,â€"but none leading to found roaming around the woods when |Such results as occurred in connection they should be asleep.

The application of the principle of group life insurance to institutions and industries has made life insurance available to large numbers of persons who have never before carried any form of life insurance. The individual amounts of insurance in these cases are usually small, ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. But there has also been a marked increase in the number of large policies written. In 1923 there were 58 persons whose lives were insured for $1,000,000 or more. In 1930 there were 223 persons carrying life insurance for that amount. % person involved is a youth wh> comes in the juvenile age class..It was alleged the company set up a bonfire outside the Lefleur home and hsld general Jubilation over his defeat." | P.
