Thank.YOu Note

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
When visiting in another city
and being invited to q friends
home for dinner, is it necessary
to write and thank the host and
hostess after returning to my
home town?
When clearing the table for
The dessert, which is correct
70 remove first the food or SER
vice plates? L.
You will make your hostess
happy and you will show that
you are a polite and apprecia-
tive person If you write a note
Of thanks for the hospitality to
your hostess. Even more charm
1t would be If you write this
note the day after the party, If
you possibly can, lnclosing 1t In
Q box Of flowers.
You wouldn't write a separate
note to the host, but in your
note to the hostess you would
ask her to tell her husband how
very much you appreciate their
kind invitation, and what a
happy time you had at their
party 6

Selecting the Ring
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Would it be an ineXcuseble
breach of etiquette if I ask my
nancee to accompany me when
selecting an engagement ringP
P.
No, this is usually done nova
days. And wisely, too, for it is
the sensible thing to do. Or,
if you don't want to go to the
jewelers., he or his assistant
will bring several choices Of
rings to your fiancee's home.
Or you may go to the jewelers.
to choose the jewel, and have
him submit sketches Of the
