EMILY POST
GOES MODERN
Her Etiquette Now Yields
to Behaviour of
the Times
BY HARTZELL SPENCE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. 10. (UP)-
Emily Post, who put etiquette on
paying basis back in 1922, is
bending a social knee to the be-
havior of our times. The famous
authority on good manners has
rewritten completely her earlier
standards to comply with a chang
ing world.
For 16 years Mrs. Posts blue
covered book has been the final
appeal on what constitutes gen.
tility and good taste. But a new
generation has so kicked over the
traces of horse and buggy days
gentility that Mrs. Post has been
forced to give ground.
This she does, reluctantly but
gracefully, in a new edition Of
Etiquette, the Blue Book of So
cial Usage" published today by
Funk and Wagnalls. Mrs. Post
has not been content to chop
away an outmoded custom here,
and relax a hidebound conven-
ton there. She has almost thrown
the old edition out the window
and written a new one.
OLD ORDER CHANGETH
Many modern historians have
pointed out the ruthless way in
which Americans have taken
shortcuts across the back lots of
social custom. But nowhere is the
process of changing etiquette as
boldly apparent as in Mrs. Posts
new edition. Mrs. Post almost
but not quite-casts sigh over
some of the conventions which
she scraps, and there is often a
note of anxiety as to where our
new freedom may lead us.
Mrs. Post now accepts prac-
tees which would have created a
national furore had she sponsor
ed them two decades ago. Fol
example: a young woman may
dine alone with young man In
his bachelor flat providing, OF
course, she is positive that Meth
err her reputation nor her self
respect will be damaged there
by.
NO cHAPERoNES
The author flatly consigns chap
! erones to the ash heap, conclud
ing that a girls best chaperone Il
the training she has received be
fore she makes her debut. Sh'
even goes so far as to say tina
when a college boy hangs his fra
ternity pin on coed, it may b.
accepted as formal engagement
of marriage. And that, as MRS
Post almost allows herself to al
nit, is quite social jump iron

Actually, the theme of Mrs
Posts social dicta now is not rig

fort. Just about anything that
sensible and practical and mol
fensive, is Ito use a word not

And a young modern who canno
afford either a maid or a bar

her friends to supper instead Q
dinner, and toss them up hash an

THE WOMAN CAN PAY
Here are a few other me-
standards of etiquette:
1t is permissible for woma
to pay the dinner check when sh
dimes with a man, if he is ind
gent and she has money.
It's proper for girl to atten,

Grounds of the Golden Belt Fair
were jammed this afternoon by the
biggest crowd of the week as all white
schools of the city and county re-
leased their pupils for a half holiday
tc attend the fair. Parking space was
at a premium and visitors thronged
the exhibit hall and the midway.
Shows, concessions and rides were
doing a thriving business during the
afternoon, which promised to con-
tinue until the late hours of the even
ing.
The fair got off to a reasonably
good start Monday night, but ran in
to an all-day drilling rain on Tues
day, which virtually killed the day
and night for business. The rain held
Up and the clouds parted intermit-
tently around o'clock in the even
ing, but so late that potential fair
visitors had cast their plans in other
directions, and they deferred their
visit until later evening during the
week
The weather today was almost as
favorable as if it had been made to
order. The rain had ceased entirely,
the temperature had moderated sharp

of the day.
