Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE Q. My husband and I have been invited to a double wedding ceremony. The one couple are very good friends, but the other we know only slightly. Are we obligated to send wedding gitfs to both couples? A A gift to your friends is the only requirement Os course, a little gift to the other bride would not be improper, but it isn’t expected. Q. Is it all right for a guest who has won a bridge prize to open it and display it to the other guests? A. Yes, it would be rude not to do so, and would indicate a lack of interest and appreciation. Q. Is it necessary that a woman traveler wear a hat in the diningcar of a train?. A. This is entirely Optional.

CHARIER 24 ”/'\LIVER succumbed scarcely at All to Anita’s charms,” Leona said to me. “But he had driven her home once after work, he’d eome up with her for a Bightcap . . . it was before he and J . . . before we'd fallen in love. She did get him to admit she was a very attractive young woman. Oh, to be honest, he did get excited about her, but It was more ludicrous than lurid. But, as Anita pointed out to me, if she played that tape over the PA. system at the school . . . which she threatened to do .. . he’d be laughed right out of business. Actually, he would have died of shame. You know Oliver Belt "Bo there was nothing at all for me to do ... except move out of Anita’s apartment as soon as I could. 1 don’t know if Oliver ever learned about the existence of that recording. Certainly rd never humiliate him by mentioning it. But I think.he doesn't know. I can't believe Anita would ever have gone so far as to try to blackmail Oliver. No matter what the consequences might be, I'm certain he’s too moral a man •ver to pay blackmail. “So you understand, Hester," Leone said emphatically, "I’m convinced that Oliver would never be suspected of Anita's murder. It wasn’t to save him from that that 1 wanted the tape. It wasn’t that Important. But I was working late at the school last night. I heard one of the policemen talking on the photic; they were going to take the guard off Anita’s place. I still had a key, to her apartment . . . and I knew where the tapes were hidden. I saw the chance to eliminate the possibility that Oliver might be embarrassed by that tape if the police ... or some unscrupulous person found it. I’d just got inside her apartment when I heard someone in the hall. I was terrified. I waited and waited . . . then I heard someone at the window. I grabbed one t lamp ... it was all I had time to get,.. and made a dash for it That’s all there Is. But I'm sorry I hit you, Hester.” "You hit me with the lamp?" “Yes ... 1 didn’t know it was you. I’m sorry, I might have hurt you badly.” “Even If jlou had known It was I, you still would have hit me, wouldn’t you?” "Yes," she said. "Os course." We smiled at each other, Leone and L Then she said, “I wish I could prove to you that I destroyed all the tapes I found.’’ "I’m not worried," I said. "I Show you won’t be blackmailing me. Nice conversation, Isn’t It?" “Isn’t it? Let’s break it up, •hall we? I have to get back. Aren’t you foing to eat your sandwich ?” " J “No, I don’t vMRt U."

“I don’t blame you. 1 feel slightly nauseous, too. Hester, you will destroy them, won’t you? The tapes you found?” “Maybe,” I said. “I’ll think about it.” We paid our check. There was a phone message waiting for me when Leone and I returned to the school. The girl who was spelling Leone at the reception desk handed me a slip of paper. I was to call the number on it. It was Steve’s office phone. I said, “How long ago did this call come in?” “Just a few minutes ago." "Hester,” Leone said, "you can use one of my phones here.” I smiled sweetly and turned down the offer. Leone’s curiosity about me would havs to go unsatisfied for a while longer. I used a phone booth in the halt I caught Steve just as he was leaving. Another few seconds and I would have missed him. I could tell from his voice he was excited. “I think,” he said, “I’ve got the dope on the guy Stubby killed.” "Walter,” I said. “Yes?" "There’s a story in the August 19th paper, last August. A Walter F. Stone, aged forty-six, fell five stories from a window in his office at 923 West Twenty-third street. He died instantly. He lived at the Waller Hotel There were no known relatives. How does that sound to you, Connie ?” “The date’s right . . . August. And falling from a window , ( . that’a right, too.” “I'm going to that office address. There might be someone around there that knew him." “I’ll meet you there." "Do you think you should?" “This is more important than anything I could accomplish here. It might even prove I’m wasting my time here. What’s that address?” "923 West Twenty-third." “See you there, Steve” “I’m leaving right away," “So am I.” I stepped out of the booth and went back to Leone at the reception desk. She was alone but busy. I interrupted her; she was faintly annoyed. When she heard what I had to say she was vividly annoyed. "Something’s come up," I told her. “I’ve got to get away. Can you get a substitute for my four o’clock?” "I shouldn’t." "But you will, of course. Since I’m such an intimate acquaintance of yours now.” “You will be back for your seven and eight o’clocks." “If I can.” “No, you've got to. Look, Hester, Mr. Bell knows what goes on around here; I can cover you for one hour, but if you miss tonight. I

David M. Kunkel At Inaugural Ceremony David M. Kunkel of Wabash, formerly of Decatur, was an official delegate representative of the University of Cincinnati at the inaugural ceremony of Dr. A. Blair Helman, the new president of Manchester college. The .ceremony was held today at North Manchester. A graduate of the University of Cincinnati, Kunkel is plant manager of the Baldwin Hill Manufacturing Co., located at Wabash. Youth Is Fined For Running Stop Sign Gaylord Poiry, 18, of Fort Wayne, arrested Thursday for disregarding a stop sign on Ninth street, appeared in justice of the peace Floyd Hunter’s court and was fined $1 and costs. Richard Byer, 19, of Decatur route six, was also charged with disregarding a stop sign at the intersection of the Winchester road and U. S. highway 27. He will appear in J. P. court tonight.

too, he’s going to start wMng questions about you. You don't want that, do you?" . “No. All right, I’ll be hero." I outran the closing doors of aa elevator. I snatched a cab from a gent who couldn't have been : going any place special The cab I driver was a career man. He got me way out on Twenty-third i street just as Steve came hurryi Ing down the block. Number 923 was a large, : dowdy building. There was a carpenter shop on the ground floor, ; but the proprietor hadn’t spent any of his talent on the premises. We went Into a vestibule at the right of the place. There was a battered old name case hanging on the wall without enough letters left to spell the tenants' titles completely. No attempt at all had been made to spell Walter F. Stone. We rode the rickety self-service elevator up to the fifth floor and we found what we were looking for, found more really than we had expected to find. The Bartons were getting lucky, and it was a nice change. The words “Merry Toy Company" were most prominent on the crinkled glass of the office door. In the right hand bottom corner was the name Walter F. Stone. Beneath it was the name Frank Stubbs. "Frank Stubbs," Steve said. "Stubby." “Stubby," I said, "killed his business partner.” Steve tried the door; it was locked. I followed Steve into the office of a twine company that was in business next door. An unhappy, rather ill-kempt lady stenographer frowned at us. I guess the twine business wasn’t booming, and Steve and X probably didn’t look as if we used much twine. Steve said, "Hello.” That didn’t get him any place. He said, “The Merry Toy Company next door . . .” Miss Sour said, “Out of business." "Mr. Walter F. Stone . . “ Miss Sour brightened a bit. "Dead.” "His partner, Frank Stubbs..." Miss Sour shook her head and shrugged. "Is there anybody here who might know about him?" Miss Sour didn’t answer immediately. She was looking at my blonde hair and thoroughly disapproving of it. Finally, she said, ’Try the carpenter downstairs. He’s the janitor for this building.” “Thanks,” Steve said. “Do you enjoy being in twine?" Miss Sour just glared st him.

Varied Temperature Readings Forecast More Snow Is Also Due For Indiana By UNITED PRESS Temperatures were scheduled to go upland down like an elevator over the next five days in Indiana. The five-day outlook tor the period Saturday through Wednesday said ft will be warmer Saturday, colder Sunday, warmer Monday, and colder Tuesday and Wednesday. There may be a considerable variation in high and low readings in the north and south portions of Hoosierland. The temperatures will average 2 to 3 degrees below normal in the north half and near normal in the south half. That would mean highs averaging about 36 in the north and 50 in the south, and lows averaging about 20 in the north and 30 in the south. More snow is due, too. The outlook called for precipitation averaging one-quarter to one-third inch in light snow or snow flurries northeast portion Sunday and extreme northeast Saturday. Rain or snow over most of the state was ■ expected late Monday or Tuesday. The five-day outlook didn't say a word about snow outside the northeast portion for Sunday. But the outlook issued in conjunction with the daily forecast this morning said snow will spread southeastward over the state Sunday. Temperatures stayed below freezing throughout the state Thursday. The highs ranged from 28 at Lafayette to 31 at Evansville. The mercury dropped to lows of 17 at South Bend, 18 at Lafayette, 19 at Indianapolis and Fort Wayne, and 21 at Evansville early this morning. It headed for highs ranging from 38 to 40 today, will drop to a range of 24 to 30 tonight, and rise to a range of 40 to 45 Saturday. Three inches of snow was on ’ the ground at South Bend this morning, all of it from a Thursday overnight five-inch fall. Country's Freedom Measured By Press La Prensa Editor Speaks Thursday LOUISVILLE, Ky. (UP) — Dr. Alberto Gainza Paz, publisher and editor of La Prensa of Buenos Aires, said Thursday night the ‘‘measure of a country’s freedom can be told immediately by looking at its press.” -Addressing some 400 professional and undergraduate members of Sigma Delta Chi, national journalistic fraternity, Gainza Paz said ‘ ‘journalism is born in freedom and fights for liberty.” ‘ Tail trees do not grow in a greenhouse and the great oaks of journalism grow only where the winds of freedom blow through their branches,” he said. Gainza Paz’ newspaper was confiscated by dictator Juan Peron and later restored to its rightful ownership when Peron was overthrown. Today’s agenda for the organization’s 47th annual meeting began with a past president’s breakfast, presided over by Robert U. Brown, editor of Editor and Publisher. Other events were a free press forum with Clark R. Mollenhoff, of the Des Moines Register-Tribune presiding; an afternoon visit to the General Electric plant and lunch, and an evening banquet with Abbott Washburn, deputy director of the U.S. Information Agency, the featured speaker.
