ETIQUETTE

THEATRE DRESS. - Which is considered the more proper, a tuxedo or q dress suit for a weekend visit 10 a, young -ady's house in New York, probably 3. theatre party among other things? If q LUEuedO looks best on me, is it proper to wear it upon such occasion? Is a silk hat necessary
 (Answer.) If you figure. on going merely to the theatre and to din der, 9 dinneT-Coat (which used to be called a tuxedo) is quite proper. If q more formal social assemblage is in prospect, you would desire a dress suit. The dress suit always is proper and is the safer garment to carry, if you are in any doubt. Many people in New Y York now wear a soft felt hat with evening dress, although of course a silk hat is more dressy. The crush hat Cso-called "opera hat''l is very little worn.
 PRESENTS OF JEWELRY. - q noted what you recently printed about a woman not receiving pres erts of jewelry from any man except the one she is engaged to marry. But isn't a girl entitled to receive valuable presents from a man as soon as they are engaged to be married ?'' (Answer.) Only her engagement ring. She is not supposed to accept other gifts of jewe1ry even from her finance until just before their mar riage.
 AT AFTERNOON TEA-'What is q suitable menu for a woman to serve her friends for afternoon tea when they are being entertained by her?"
 (Answer.) Avoid anything elab- crate. Tea or chocolate, sandwiches, cake and perhaps bonbons should suffice ordinarily
