More extra work was provided by
construction companies, which called
upon the Fire Department rather than
the hospitals for ambulance service

This may or may not have been be-

Since the new regulations went into

Fire Rescue Squad sirens, since new

Members of both squads now have
time to groom their equipment for a

Good Taste Today
BY EMILY POST
Author of
ETIQUETTE 1.-THE BLUE
BOOK OF SOCIAL USAGE"
ETC.
WHAT PRICE SILENCE?

nEAR Mrs. Post: I have been en-
~ gagged for over a year to man
who has risen above his family,
though he is not ashamed Of them.
He is innately refined and highly re-
spected for himself and his profession
al achievements. have not heard a
word from his mother, which / can
feel embarrasses him terribly. It does
not trouble me because l can easily
imagine it possible that she cannot
perhaps write very well, and does not
want to display her lack of education.
But whatever her reason, T feel sure
that she intends no slight to me. But
my mother is making great fuss"
She takes a hurt attitude and feels
mortified about the discourtesy to me,
and threatens to take the matter up
with my fiance. Personally, would
rather never hear from his mother
than hurt his feelings. So my ques-
tion is: Couldn't l, without bringing
down all the walls Of convention upon
my mothers head, write to his mother
(she lives too far away to go to see
her) and perhaps make her feel at
ease with me enough to write to me?
This is long story but it does seem
cruel to wreck my whole happiness on
the keeping of the rule that mans
mother should write letter to the
girl her son is to marry. Are the rules
of thumb so important that we should
take serious offense at my f1ance's
mother without even knowing anything
about her real intention-which you
have so often written, is the one thing
that counts? Actually, I'm not sure
that anything counts except my
fiance's love for me and mine for him.
Answer: think your last sentence
answers the question. The only thing
can suggest is that you talk to your
fiance frankly. Surely you ought to be
able to ask him whether he would like
you to write or whether he prefers
that you do nothing. Make as little
fuss as possible but say something
such as, "Tell me, John, what would
you like me to do about your mother !;
do you think she would like a letter
from me? OF course 1 want to do
whatever you want me to-"
l can't quite understand why you
are not able to say everything in your
heart to the man you love. After all,
your married happiness must rest on
mutual understanding, on trust and
confidence. You must not let unshared
thoughts build a barrier between you
