Is it necessary for me Tor properl
to buy her a gift? If so, what
do you suggest? (Of course, you

thing semi-formal?
A READER.
Under the circumstances it is
not at all necessary for you to
send a wedding present.
Also involved in your question
is another question to which I
should like to draw your atten-
ton. It is not good form for
you to attend the wedding on
the invitation of this friend. To
begin with you have not known
him very long, and. il his sister

wonder at his having invited you

his invitation. The invitation
! should come from his family, his
parents really, for they are the
hosts of the occasion and the in.
vitations are sent out in their
names.
Now, you will think that this
places you in an impossibly awk-
ward position-but hasten TO
assure you that it does not, real
ly. For this kind OF circumstance
often arises in social life, and
people are quite used to dealing
with it graciously. 1t is perfectly

wedding, but / hesitate to go
without her invitation. If you
think that she really would like
to have me, would you ask her
to send me an invitation?" Or,
you are most kind to ask me
to your sisters wedding. If your
family have not already invited
all the guests that they have
planned on, prehaps they would
send me an invitation or Il
should like to go to the wedding,
but it would embarrass me to go
without an invitation. If you
think that your mother and
father would like to have me
come, please ask them to send
me an invitation" Now, in
"cold print" this may seem diff
ficult to say, but you can say it
most graciously.

NEW VOGUE
In LINEN

GPoRT linen froeks are seen in
~ greater numbers than ever be
fore at the southern resorts this
winter and they are forecast as
popular items of the spring and
summer wardrobes. The constant
appearance Of silk at all times of
the year Is apt to become mon

searching for something new to
add variety and originality to her
summer gowns. One thing which
has given impetus to the linen
vogue is the introduction Of a
non-crushable cloth which is
practically free Of the old wrin.

accomplished by a phe-shrinkage

to call it back.
The Old Excuses-I had a tussle
with myself to do away with my
Excuses. They had made life
so convenient for me. How on
earth was I to live il I couldn't
lay the blame on someone-on my
parents, on my environment, on
God himself. Yets IL I was to
achieve any respect for myself,
I'd have to do it. So I've done
it. But don't be surprised if YOU
find me yanking them out now

pass the buck once in a while!
And the old Hates-how l loved
my Hates! I'm sure never
would have given up my Hates IL
I hadn't found that they were

Of them. But they're anything
but quiet, there behind the wall!
So there they all are, walled
away from the rest of my mem
