Engagement Etiquette


~ Is it proper to give your
best girl friend gift of some kind
when she is engaged?
q II so, kindly advise what /
should get her.
CONSTANT READER.
YES, if you wish to. For. al
L though the giving of engage
ment gifts is not so customary as
the giving of wedding presents. it
is perfectly proper. Usually. only
the relatives and very intimate
friends'of girl give her engage
ment presents.
2. Engagement presents usually
are regarded as more intimate than
wedding presents-that is engage
ment presents are something for
the girl herself; while wedding pres
ents are more designed for the
new home.

the Bureau Of Animal Industry, els not
altogether unattairiable. The solution
lies In more vigorous action to eliminate
waste" His address was In large part
an effort to point out some Of the ways
in which the meat business could be
conducted more satisfactorily to all con-
