WOMEN'S QUESTIONS
A N s. w e r e D BY
Cynthia Grey

Dear Miss Grey-What is polite
to say to a man when asked to go
to lunch with him and what should
one order at the restaurant?
Alt depends great deal upon
the circumstances. Always order
in moderation. For a light lunch
con you might order cold meat,
salad and a desert.
What is nice to say to your gen.
tleman friend when at. theater
and he asks you if you would like
some candy when the boy passes
with chocolates and you want
some?
A.-You often see people eating
candy at the theater but it is never
proper to do so. If l were you l
would decline the offer.
In a crowded street in Seattle
when two ladies are walking with
one man, in passing through one of
the archways is it proper for the
man to go ahead of the ladies. No.
