CORRECT
MANNERS
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman.

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
/. When a friendship has ex-
listed between q boy and a girl
and the boy is moving Ito another
town. who should suggest a cor.
respondence between them?
q. When a boy telephones and
asks for a date, = and doesn't
say whether 1t Ia to theater,
party, on whether he just wishes
to call on me. would 1t be cor
rect for me to ask him where
he wants to go, or should he
specifically tell?
5. When a boy is calling. when
and where should ask him to
remove his ovprcoat? Then.
where should I leave them: as
there In no fatrack in the hall.
~ WONDERING.
/. The boy. You see. the funda.
mental idea OF this is that the
boy is asking the girl FOR favor
the privilege of writing to her.
And this idea especially applies
when the boy is the one who is
moving away.
2. Usually. a man tells def.
nitelY when he telephones whether
he wishes to come to see her" or
whether he wishes to have her go
with him to some special form OF
entertainment. But IL he doesn't.
you should make no Suggestions
whatever as to how the evening
Is to he spent. Take the hospi.
table point OF view that he has
asked to come to your home. and
make yourself q charming host.
ess Make pleasant conversation
about all kinds of mutual inter-
ests.
And don't be the superficial
kind of girl who has no interest
in that most Intriguing and fasei-
mating of an. arts-conversation-
and who has to be taken out
or entertained by some annuse-
ment that is bought.
3. Indicate to him the most
convenient place. For instance,
'tWill you put your hat and coat
on this chair. please"
