If a man is wearing a very soft felt hat, is it really necessary for him to tip this to a woman by removing it from his head -- all right in this case? A. A man who merely touch- es the brim of his hat is just "going" through the motions" of courtesy. To .be- correct, he should 'take his hat by the crown, instead of the brim, lift the hat slightly from his head, and then - replace it. : Q.* What. should. the. bride groom and his best man do, with their gloves while the ceremony. is. taking place? A. The 'bridegroom removes his right glove and holds it in his left-hand. The best man does. not remove his gloves. ! \ Q. Is it necessary that a guest unfold his napkin entirely when. placing it on his lap? A. Thi. is neither necessary nor proper, It should be only half unfolded. Q. Is it necessary that the bridal couple acknowledge a tele- gram of congratulations receiv- A. This does not necessitate the usual note of thanks-required by a gift, but the first time either of the couple meets the sender of the telegram, a few words of appreciation shod be ex- pressed. - 2 Q. Is it all right for a person _ to insist upon giving a tip in a restaurant - which observes the "no tipping" rule? -- A. No. It is not only unnec- essary to give the tip; but it is inconsiderate to the management for one to insist upon breaking: rules; dorian _ Q. "Should a guest smoke at the dinner table in a home, if the hostess has not provided ash trays? ; A. It is better to refrain from any smoking until ash trays are put on the table, It may be that the hostess objects to smoking at her table--and most. certainly you must never be guilty of flicking . any ashes on her din- nerware, Q. Is it good form to address a wedding invitation to "Mr. and Mrs, John J, Smith and Daugh- . ter?' . A. Never, If the daughter ig/ old enough to be invited to the' wedding, she is old enough to re- , ceive a separate invitation. Q. Should the dessert spoon or fork be placed on the table with the rest of the implements that are necéssary for a meal? A. - No; they are brought in on the dessert plate after the other dishes have been removed from the table, Do You Possess That "Sixth Sense"? When Mr. Winston Churchill - was a war correspondent during the South African War he- was taken. prisoner by the Boers, He escaped, and made his way by night through enemy territory towards the British lines.' Finally he was driven by des- perate need to approach a house * for food and shelter. The house' ~ he selected proved to be the only, "ong in the entire. community "where he would not have been 'handed over. to -the: enemy. What strange power helped to 'guide him to "a friendly house that night? It could 'have been a coincidence, but Mr. Church=- ill himself does not think so. It was more likely to have been that faint and elusive quality -which scientists call ESP -- Extra Sensory Perception. This is the little-known faculty which can guide lost animals home across hundreds of miles:of un- known . country -- the misnamed "sixth sense," and the explana- tion of a good deal of intuition. In many laboratories, both sides of the Atlantic, a great many normal, average - people have been tested for their ability to identify hidden objects -without the help of their normal senses. One of the. standard tests 'is the subject is asked to identify as they are removed from a hid- den pack. En : that anything more \than 'chance is at work. But the experiments are so carefully controlled that the spectacular scores which are * made from time to time can be produced only by other than ESP. The results of these tests, con- firmed) by one laboratory after. another in dozens of experimen leave no doubt that some people have this strange ability to guide themselves to the right response 'without the use of the senses. 7 So far, most of the proof for the existence of ESP has come from animals. Without any great powers of reasoning to confuse them, they can follow blin "the path of 'instinct, often wi results that human beings find . or isn't merely touching the brim | ed on the day of their wedding? | the order of cards one by one | Often the results of these tests | _are barely good enough to prove | oh SETA SL EH, Ahh re 8 Sree LTA Sv HRONICLES 7GiNGER FAR) It. seems only a few months ago since' 1 was writing New Year greetings for 1952 aid here I am again wishing you another happy new year, but this time for 1953 . . . and I hope it will be a Happy New Year for every- one, with all the good memories _ of 1952 earried-over to "53, and all the unpleasant memories for- gotten -- that is far the better way, isn't it?

It Is the cons later on, It may be old news be- fore you get it but it doesn't do any harm at all to stretch .out Christmas memories for at least a few weeks into the new year. Christmas and New Year's are, "too good a time to be celebrated and then forgotten overnight. About a week before Christ- mas I spent the better part of two days in Toronto while the us kept house. When I got home | almost the first thing I heard: was this: "Next time you go away you had better take your' blessed kitten with you. He was all over the house, crying and looking for you everywhere. He didn't Rave any peace at all!" And yet some folk would have' us belive: that cats are incapable : of showing affection for anyone, Or course, after being so lone- - some, you wauld naturally sup- pose that: Mitchie White would be completely overjoyed when I | returned.

It was not un- til the next. day that he was really. friendly. again. The other Gwen says she had a cat who used to act the very same. "Very different from a dog," says she, "no matter whether you are away a day or.a month, a dog never sulks -- he is always glad" to, see- you back and gives you an I must admit, is true of our. dogs also, Tippy and Honey are a funny - pair. Tippy would leave a juicy bone rather than be left behind if any of us were going out. Honey, if she hap- pened. to be out, would forsake - all her friends, if she so much as heard a dish rattle.=She looks eyes as if she had the most soul- ful - thoughts and all the time . you know very well all she is worrying about is her stomach. So, one only "has'to give her a few table scraps and:she is your friend: for life. But she has some interesting little habits too. - We generally have the evening paper 'delivered at night -- just thrown out somewhere near the mail- box. . We just say to Honey, 'Fetch the paper" and away 'she. goes, down to the road, looks first. this way and then that un- til she finds it. Then away she paper held firmly in her mouth, She brings it proudly to the house and waits for her reward -- a little dog biscuit, -We-call|- these biscuits "cookies" and if anyone mentions cookie in her presence, her ears go up -- as much as a spaniel's can -- and her eyes take on such a bright, everything but speak in human language. 12 ; Well, that's all for now, ex- cept once again 'to wish. you all OSTRICH KICKS OSTRICH TO DEATH Visitors to London Zoo :know nothing of the queer ways. some of the Inmates there sométimes. meet thelr. deaths.
