Some readers from Genevieve,
Mont, have written me a letter
asking for the answers to certain
questions. Therefore l shall devote
this article to their interests, and
it may interest others also.
Dear A. Leda -
What is the proper way to re-
fuse man a dance when you have
not yet the next taken and do not
wish to be rude?'' Simply say this.
'Thank you, but l do not think I'll
dance this number. l feel bit
tired That is all that is neces-
sary."
Dear A. Leda -
What is the correct way to en-
terrain a young man when he makes
an afternoon call?'' This all depends
on the ability of the hostess. You
have often heard the phrase, "oyer
the tea-cups." Well that means five
o'clock tea. When that hour arrives,
serve your friend with some light
drink such as tea or lemonade. A
few small cakes or crackers should
go with the drink. This gives a
delightful chance to talk and get
acquainted, but If this becomes tire
some, try a little card game that
both know. If your caller prefers
to go out, have croquet game, ten
mis-, or take long country walk.
Afterwards bring him in to have
a little tea" A very pleasant af-
ternoon may be passed this way.
Dear A. Leda -
Should one unfold their napkin
Immediately they are seated at
table, or wait until served?' A
guest may put their napkin in their
lap as soon as the hostess has taken
hers from the table This Is usu-
ally Immediately. The unfolding
consists in opening the napkin just
once and laying lengthwise across
the lap. Never unfold napkin en-
tirely."
Dear A. Leda -
If you are a guest at dinner and
spill your glass Of water, what
should be done or saidY' An apology
10 the hostess is all required. Il am
very sorry to have been so very
clumsy" or words to that effect is
sumc1ent. If there is no maid,
take Your partly folded napkin, lay
across the wet spot and leave 1t
there. If there Is a maid, let her
attend to it. q

This was accomplished by means
OF special high-power tube trans
