Correct Manners
By Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman

Wedding Anniversary Party
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
We are planning to celebrate
our eighth wedding anniver.
Sary.
Would It be all right to play
cards for the evening, and
should I have prizes?
Should I have tables set up
before the guests arrive or wait
until later?
Would it be proper for me to
wear my wedding dress which
IL white chiffon? II 30, should
any mention be made about
II?
What would be nice in the
way Of salads that could be
made UP ahead Of time? I am
thinking Of having crackers
with the salad and several
kinds Of cake and coffee.
READER.
Yes, you might plan TO- have
card tables set UP for those
who wish to play, and offer the
charming alternative Of "con.
versation" for those who prefer
to chat. And it will probably
add zest II you provide prizes.
Don't set up your tables be-
fore you are ready to have
your guests play. These tables
inevitably take away from the
charm Of your room, and when
your guests enter, your room
should be uncluttered. It won't
take q minute to set UP the
tables.
I think that 1t would be very
appropriate and charming for
you to wear your wedding dress,
and 1t would add q note Of feS-
tivity for you to mention it.
You might prepare before
hand a salad in aspic, a vege-
table salad, for instance, or q
lobster or crabmeat salad, or Q
fruit salad. ASpic salads always
look so gala, and another JOY
about them Is that they can be

An Awkard Situation

Dear MRS. Beeckman:

dressing room I found my friend
dancing with another girl whom
I know very well. I waited for
them to finish the dance and
this made me feel cheap. Please

! should have done in this case.
M.
I don't blame you for feeling
that this was an awkard situa.
tion to find yourself in, and 1t

your partner to place you IN
this situation. He should, Of

rejoin him.
There wasn't anything that
you could have done about this
there usually isn't much
that we can do when the other
person Is so thoughtless. The
well.bred person, in the face OF
ill-breeding, Is as gracious as
possible, doing nothing, saying
nothing, waiting for the awk-

pass. And the silence should not
be a frigid one. q pouty one. but
one that achieves q pleasant
manner even though there may
be a great ache inside!

A Modern 'Patient Griselda"
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I've been married eight years,
and have two lovely children.
Anything ] do for them does not
seem q sacrifice for me, as I
love them. But my husband goes
out whenever he pleases, and
stays sometimes till 3 or 4
o'clock in the morning. How.
ever, he positively refuses to al.
low me to go out, even to visit
my women friends. He says:
"Why do you want to go out?"
Only once in eight years has
he taken me to q party, and
then I sat in the same spot all
evening, while he watched me.
Even when I go to the store, he
goes to the window to watch
me. He is very suspicious. Lately,
I'm really afraid Of what he
might do.
He's a good provider, but 7

The life you describe sounds
more as II you were living in
the Middle Ages than in the

woman could have put up with
such things for eight years and
kept sane. But there Is q type
of woman who endureS and en-
dures till it is past all under.

This tragic patience seems to
bring out the worst qualities in
a man, and for his own sake,
I should suggest that you insist
on more reasonable treatment.
# you have any responsible
person with whom to leave the
children, why not go out and
call on your women friends,
without asking permission?

If you ever want to uncover the

All this impedimenta is neces-

were told in a lecture last night
at Constitution Hall by Charles

The balloons are for making
detailed observations of buried
streets and ruined houses h a

air pumps are for blowing away
sand and other debris from art
objects. The baking kilns are for

And the card catalogues are for
carefully registering every scrap
