AN UNKNOWN HERO :
Dear MIS- 3eeckman.

Dear Mrs Beeckman:
l. Does the best man at a we'd
ding (his brothers wedding) give
the bride and groom a wedding
gift and beside that another gift
assuming that 1t is for the honor
of being best man?
2. Is 1t proper to give q large
engagement gift If you expect to
give the couple a large wedding
gift, or is II immaterial, j. l..
The best man gives the bride
wedding present, sending II to
her at her home This is "the"
wedding present, which Is always
addressed to the bride. He does
not usually give the groom a pres
ent. And he certainly does not
give a present for the honor of
being the best man-as a matter
of fact, he is given a present by
the groom in recognition of his
services as best man.
2. 1t Is not very customary now
for any except relatives to give
engagement presents to the
couple. Usually we save our
budgeting for the wedding pres.
ent. And. since the wedding pres.
ent is a present for the home the
engagement present being usually
something personal, this would
seem wise.

you quite a lot at lunch-after she'd

She said she'd seen your advertisement

He bounced upon her here with a
question. MY advertisement? How
did she know it was mine? 1t wasn't
