Sz1 demands must be answered Immediately
E$H&J in business girl learns speedily, II she

to respond at once brings her reprimand or

But in social affairs she cannot be reprimanded,
save sometimes by old friends, and some girls new

either case she cannot be too prompt. This state.
ment applies to all situations where an answer OF
any kind is required.
query not infrequently received from girls
who are about to be married is, How soon shall
they acknowledge their wedding giftsf
The day on which a present rs received is none
too soon to write note of thanks to the sender.
To delay is to give an appearance of indifference
that the average bride cannot afford to indulge IN.
For example, bride of last winter, whose social
engagements Immediately preceding her marriage
and the number of gifts she received both were so
before she went on her wedding trip, consid-
cred rude because not until week afterward did
she thank the givers
Birthday gifts must be responded to immediately.
Invitations should be accepted or declined in
the mail following that in which they are received.
To delay or to answer indefinitely is the worst pos
sble form. For example. married woman and
her husband were invited to dinner last winter,
that the hostess tAephoned to know if the invita-
tion had been received.
II had been, she was told, but the other woman
had waited to see If her husband would be free to
accept The delay spoiled the dinner party.sbe

to say that her husband was unable to accept. and
so they mast decline It was too late for the hos

II ~ tNE OF tnc pIcILleSL girls KNOW IOlo MS
lOI in confidence, the other day, that she had
hRUIitfI refused scores of invitations to dine in
V fashionable restaurants because she did
not feel sure of her ground. Let me
come to the rescue of other modest souls who feel
the same hesitancy. Etiquette for dining in res
taurant is so clearly defined that if a girl only
heeds It she will make no mistakes. For example,
the frock she wears should be dressy without be-
ing conspicuous It is only in utra-fashionable
restaurants that women wear decollete gowns, and
the rule for high necks prevails in this country.
In fact, a girl Is always correctly gowned if she
wears high neck in public place, although gowns
erousiy affected. This gown. however, should be
discreetly chosen.
A hat is part of such costume, save where de-
collete gowns is.worn. Generally such frock as
a girl would wear to church or for making calls
is suitable for restaurant wear.
It is the custom in this country for woman to
preeede man when going to their table, but it is
not uncommon for the man to go first, and good
taste and common sense will probably make this
latter the rule. Such change this will be based
on the fact that man should go first to make
sure suitable table has been selected, and that
the way is clear for the woman. It is extremely
awkward when the woman goes first and the man
is obliged to discuss, across her, an objection he
may have to the table chosen by the head waiter.
A menu card is given to the woman as we'll as
to the man, but she has nothing to do with order
ing the dinner unless the man asks her to make
some selection. Even then she should not do much
suggesting, for she would be taking more upon
herself than Is good form for guest.
If her escort asks her to choose a salad or her
own sweet she should do so without hesitation as
she should answer any question frankly before the
food has been ordered. After the order has been
given she should refrain from suggestion critical
comment
If she wishes the waiter to give her fork or
any other small article that may be required
through the meal she Is not to ask the waiter for
