of monogramming the gifts-unless
you have ascertained the brides choice
beforehand-for, in case of duplica-

bride wishes to exchange your present
later on, the marking has added many
difficulties to the problem. AS a rule,
you can arrange with the shop where

the monogram on after the wedding,
If the bride wishes, at no expense to

As for the choice of what to

A CHANGE of lamp shades in
~ the Spring is Just as refresh
~ ing as shifting draperies, and it
N is none too soon to think of re-
placing those heavy Winter shades with
lighter weight ones. The local stores are
already displaying an interesting ar
ray and there Is no better time than
the present to make your selection.
Pleated fabric and parchment, we
discover, continue to be favored for
Summer wear" and there seems to
be larger display than ever of these
two types this season. The shapes run
from funnel to mushroom effects and
the drum style, which was introduced
several years ago, but which did not
gain much popularity until last Fall,
appears to dominate the informal
scene.
The notion that this type of shade
belongs to the strictly modern deco
rative scheme has apparently been
exploded. Decorators have found them
to have the happy faculty of doing
wonders when used with traditional
furniture, giving a lift to the old, and
often changing the entire decorative
effect of a nondescript room. The
drum shape also adapts itself readily
to almost any type of lamp base and
often brings out new beauty of line
and period style. Made of natural
fax or homespun, these shades have
a personality that meets the demand
of the hour-fuid line and simplicity.
They also have been proven to give
very efficient lighting, as they seem
to reflect only minimum of glare.
A DJUSTABLE floor lamps equipped
= with these shades, which may
also be adjusted to all angles, are
proving their efficiency. and are fast
replacing the old stationary types.
The semi-direct lamps. by the way,
are becoming increasingly popular
and have been considered the ideal
study and reading lamp. The diffusing
glass which surround the bulb keeps
all raw light from striking the eyes
and there is absolutely no glare. The
light goes upward to the ceiling and
is thrown through the room giving
a general soft illumination that is
best for eye comfort. The shades of
these lamps are always of specified
height and width and are coated on
the inside with a special prepare ton
which has an exceedingly high rehec-

Young Reader Ques-

Old Custom.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST; I would like
to invite about 20 couples to a
supper dance at local hotel. We
are all around 16 and II. which ages
mother thinks require chaperonage.
Isn't this number Of people, no mat
ter how young, chaperonage in itself7
Answer-This is one of those "it-all-
depends" answers. 1t must be be-
cause the things young people do are
so often at variance with convention.
But taking it for granted that the
hotel is one of high class and patron
lied by the parents of most of your
guests as we'll as by your own. think
it will be quite all right to give the
party-to all intents and purposes
alone. BY this mean that you alone
would send out the invitations and
receive your friends and be actual
hostess. But your mother and father
should drop in during the evening
as though they we're guests, but also
to lend their approval. And it would
be an excellent idea If your father
would come back later and see that
you all get of home at reasonable
hour.
Dear Mrs. Post: Recently several
of us went to church dance stag"
and soon after our arrival talked and
danced with several girls we knew
slightly. A little later the other girls,
who are our real friends, arrived, so
we excused ourselves to those we had
been dancing with and joined our
friends. During the course of the
evening we just about made the
rounds of the assemblage. Since the
dance we have heard that one of the
girls in the first group thinks we
were very ill-mannered to have
walked away and left them. Is it
possible, according to the rules of
proper behavior, that once having
invited a girl to dance. a boy is sup
posed to stay with her for the rest of
the evening? I hardly think so.
Answer-Unless the way you left
your first acquaintances was rude,
you we're quite right to go and dance
with different people. To suppose
that boy who asks girl to dance
must then consider himself bound
to her for the whole evening is the
most absurd notion ever heard of.
If this were true. certainly no boy
or man-would go to dance ever,
except with his one best girl.

Dear Mrs. Post: My boy friend,
whose home Is in New York, is gradu-
ating in June from the college in this
town. I met his mother and father
some time ago, in fact stayed at their
house for a few days, but my family
has never met them. May write to
her and ask her and her husband to
stay with us when they are here for
their sons graduation?
Answer-Your mother should write
and invite them. And it would be
polite of you to write an additional
note hoping that they will be able to
accept your mothers invitation.
