These gushers are divisible into two class--' es. the geysers proper and those known as fountain. The fountains are distinguished by an eruptive. in which all of the water in the crater is thrown into the air, thus forming a beautiful foutitaiii. The eruptive lasts but a few minutes and is not -repeated till the crater fills up. Old Faithful has an erup- tion every 70 minutes and throws a jet of water varying from '75 to 125 feet high: the Beehive, the Giant- ess. the Castle, and the Riverside are the most noted. The Giant. when in eruption. throws off a col- umn of water 5 feet in diameter to a height of 250 feet and continues in operation for one and a half hours. The Giantess is even larger. but does not spout so frequently.

Girl Ask: AdviceiOn How To Pop Question

DEAR MISS DIX: For a long time I hIve been in love with a man whom I have every reason to believe loves me. but for come reason he has never asked me to marry him. Maybe he in timid. Maybe he thinks I won't be ntlefled to live on what he could give me. .Maybe he is one of those men who jun let things rock Ilong if they are zolng fairly well and who ll content to let I pfeeunt rela- tionship exist as it is. But, anyway. I went to know where I Itand.

.. u . I don't want to waste my life in whiting on I man whose attention: are without lntentlonl. so I have made up my mind to pop the queIt.lon to him. But how shall l.do it? What due: I girl my when she proposes? She can't Jun walk up and Ink for a wedding ring like she would a job. Help me out.

JEANIE

u

ANSWER; I doubt, that anyone can give you any advice about how to pop the question that will .,.,,., help any becauselthe idea of I girl aeklng a man to marry her is so new that women have not had time to develop I technique in handling the situation.

LETTER LEAST I?lMBAllllAB5l.NG

Of course. the least embarrassing way for a'glrl to Propole is by letter. It is lots easier to stop over on paper than it is when you are close together. That saves the girl's face in case the man says "no". but it also gives him a better chance to decline.

Also. it does away with the personal touch, which is about nine-

it is easy enough to weigh her good qualities and decide whether they are worth giving up one'g bachelor freedom for them. But with a pretty girl within easy armls reach telling you how she loves you and how handsome and wonderful you are and how me will devote her whole life to making you happy. it is another proposition alto- gether.

Of course. you can go as far as you like with the sentimental stuff, but youlve got also to make him believe that you are the only one who really undcrsiands him. that you can make better bread than his mother and that two can live cheaper than one.

But. above all. be carefulzln choosing the psychological moment in which to pop the question. Wait until sometime when he ll Ilttimt across a table in your own apartment. replete with home-cooked food and filled with thoughts of domesticity. Or wait until some time when he is down on his luck and wants some woman'I Ihoulder to cry on and some woman to baby him, and he will be your: for the taking.

But however you propose. daughter, you'll do it better than a man would. So go to it.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: How should girl: working lln public and private offices conduct themselves? How should they dreu? What should be their attitude toward their employer and the other men In

the office? JUANITA

ANSWER: A girl working in In office should be a happy com- bination of a lady and a businessman. if you get what I mean. f mean that she should.be diznlfied. yet gracious: prudent. but not a prude; easy to get. along with. yet not fresh and bold in her manner; easy on the eyes. yet not dolled up like she was going to a party.

Nobody wants a girl employee around who expect. to have as many gallant attention: paid her by the men with whom she works as if she were in a drawing room, or 'who get: insulted if her work is criticized. or her employer smokes in her pl sence. But neither do they want a girl around who is hail-fellow-well-met with every fresh salesman.

As to clothes. she should dress the part of the business girl and not set herself up as if she was going to an afternoon tea. This doesnit mean that she need be a trump. It only means that she should leave off the jingling jewelry and the doodads. And particu- larly it means that she should make up her face before the come: to work instead of spending her time restoring her complexion in office hours.

Her attit de toward hep employer should be a strictly buslnen one. She sho id not try to make sex take the placevof good work. and it is no part of her job to sympathize with him because he in mar- ried to a wife who does not understand him.

She should make the other men in the office keep their place. An office flirtation may get her a date. but it in lure to lose her a job.
