By JEAN BOTHWELL
I always thought that pines
Were mournful trees ,
And that the wind made lonely
sounds
Tn their tall branching.
But now they’re song and company to
For?have lived with pines
Upon a hill, through
A summer’s brief, bright ecstacy.
They are a litany when Sabbaths
dawn
Brings thoughts of solemn things;
A harmony through all the song
Of birds and insects in the grass;
A motif true and sweet
Beneath the cadences of our summer
storm;
And never <
though are sad.

Houston’s elite society turned out
last Thursday night, July 5, at the
Odd Fellows Temple, to do honor to
Dr. Ambrose Caliver of the United
States Department of Education,
Washington, D. C., and at the present
time guest professor at the Houston
College.
The entertainment, in the form of
a banquet, was sponsored by a group
of students in Dr. Caliver’s class, in-
cluding R. L. Isaacs, general chair-
man- W. L. Davis, E. A. Chester, N.
Q. Henderson, and Jas. D. Ryan, with
Mrs. Ellie Walls-Montgomery assist-
ing this group.
The evening was a pleasant one
being one of those rare occasions
when the intellectual is combined with
the social. The room was beautifully
decorated with flowers-goldenrod
and native Texas bluebells predomi-
nating. The long banquet table, very
prettily laid, was centered by a silver
and crystal vase holding a quantity
of the decorative blossoms.
Delightful and refreshing music
was furnished during the course of
the evening by Mrs. Lucretia- Law-
son Love and Ralph Isaacs, with Miss
Johnnie Mae Newton playing theac-
companiments, at the piano. Prof.
W. L. Davis was toastmaster for the
occasion.
A series of well arranged toasts
were given with Miss M. E. B. Isaacs
toasting for the art and dramatic side
of Houston; H. P. Carter represent-
ing the fraternal life; Attorney F.S.
J., Whittaker, the legal end; Profes:
cor Jas. D. Ryan, the professions
Frank Lane, business; and Dr. B. J.
Covington, the science of medicine.
Dr. Caliver, who was presented by
Dean R. O’Hara Lanier of the Hous-
ton Junior College, responded very
fittingly to the toasts and the “
come with a discourse on the Carol
nal Virtues of Life.”
A delectable four-course dinner was

THE CORRECT
Introductions
The Acknowledgement
Unless one knows precisely what
to say when introduced, there is
likely to be an embarrassing pause.
Generally speaking, the simplest
and most natural thing that oc-
curs to your mind is the best thing
to say if it carries with it a note
of cordiality. All formulae are stiff
and stilted. The following forms
will help you to know what is cor-
rect and what is incorrect. Add
the tone of cordiality, the word or
two that takes it out of the com-
monplace, and you have a grace-
ful, courteous acknowledgement
The formal greeting or acknowl-
edgement is, “How do you do?”
Sometimes the name is added, as
“How do you do, Mrs. Brown?” If
Miss Smith were introduced to
Mrs. Brown, it would be Mrs.
Brown who would say “How do you
do,”

shown in dark colors in many various
styles and may be lightened with
collars, and jabots of other mater-
ials. Too, they’re sufficiently sheer
not to feel out of place with your
summer accessories. Since net may
be a fad (it’s too early to tell yet)
it isn’t necessary to go to great ex-
pense. Some of the shops are showing
some very neat styles, quite moder-
ately priced. And if you feel like add-
ing a little more, you might add one
of those very chic berets that are
being shown in siks and satins at
moderate prices. You can be chic and
comfortable, too. If you doubt it, try
one of the new nets.
