WHEN IN
DOUBT
BY Cornelius Beekman-

An Engagement Announcements
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Is it good form for my
intended. sister.in-law to give an
engagement announcement party
at her home in her honor?
Is it good form for my family
to give the reception at my in
tended sister-in-law's home?
In inviting the father, mother,
daughter and her beau, is it good
form to address the invitation to
mr.. and Mrs. Jones and Family?"
VAGY and MUSHROOM.
r CANNOT tell from these two
= questions whether the my
refers to the lady and not to the
gentleman in the delightful sig
nature. So / am going to answer
the two questions together. II
there is an engagement announce
ment, it is better form for the
parents or some member Of the
family of the young lady to give
the party. You see, In invitations
and announcements concerning
the engagement and marriage, the
parents or family Of the young
lady stand in the position Of hosts;
that is, the invitations and an.
nouncements are issued in their
names; the financial Responsible
ties are theirs until the wedding
trip begins; and they stand in
all ways as the social background
Of the young lady. This is as it
should be, for 1t gives the bride
to-be a dignified status. After
the announcement party has been
given by some member of the
young lady's family, it would be
most hospitable and friendly for
the fiance's family to give party
in her honor, to welcome her into
the family and to give their rela-
tives and friends an opportunity
to meet her and to give her the
right hand of friendship"
No. 1t is never good form to
address the envelope with Mr..
and Mrs. Jones and family
Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to
answer questions on etiquette
submitted by readers.)

UNREQUITED LOVE
BEATRICE FAIRFAX ANSWERS A READER
She Urges Girls Not to Worry Over
Men Who Are Friendly One Day
and Rude the Next

throwing the clear light Of reason
and truth on this affair which
has grieved you and caused you
so many tears.
You do not love this man. Yog
cannot love anyone whom you
know SO slightly. You have had
a number Of frank chats with
him when you happened to meet.
That Ii all. Love Is built on a
much firmer foundation.
He appeals TO you-that il, the
fleeing impressions you have had
Of him attract YOU. But you will
have to know and understand him
much better than you do before
you can judge whether he is low
able and before you can be sure
you love him.
He may have. for all you know,
q disposition that would make
you utterly miserable. He may
be jealous, ungenerous, cowardly.
Remember you have seen him
only at few favorable moments.
So until you are better acquaint-
ed with him you cannot honestly
say-can you?-tlat you love him.
What you worship is your own
fanciful dream Of your ideal
young man. And that dream your
imagination visualizes as this
casual acquaintance. The fact is,
you are in love with love and
not with this particular man
whom you slightly know.
Now, the best way to get &C
quainted with a man whom you
would like to number among
your friends Is to invite him to
your home. There he can meet
your friends and parents, and
there you win learn to understand
each other better as good friends.
This step TO better acquain-
lance and friendship you did
take. You asked him to your
home. He accepted your invita-
ton, then failed to keep his en-
gagement with you and has not
even explained to you why or
in any way apologized.
That was rudeness-just plain
bad manners. You see, he failed
to make the grade in qualifying
for the trustworthiness that IL
the foundation Of friendship and
love-
Give him one mors chance to
make good If you stili have faith
in him. Ask him once more to
call. Treat him with friendly
comarederie.
But II he does not accept this
invitation. or accepting it does not
keep his appointment, you win
he wise to let him alone.
Do not worry over a man who
is friendly one day and treats
you rudely the next. What do
you care whether such men like
you? The only question that
should interest you is whether
you like them. And you don't
Of course you don't. How can you
like a man with bad manners
and a bad heart?
Choose your men friends as
you do your women friends, on
the basis Of congenial tastes and
mental qualities. Treat them
with the same unaffected friend
illness and comarederie that you
do girls. Then, whether or not
out of honest friendship grows a
deeper. finer understanding and
emotion, you win not need to
have regrets.
