Obligation
OF Nurse
In Home
Social Invitations
May Be Accepted
Or Declined.
By EMILY POST,

DEAR MRS. POST: Of and on over
a period of several years I have
been employed as nurse by family
which is soon to have wedding. I
am on duty in their house now, taking
care of sick grandmother. I did
not know this family before my pro-
fessional contact, and while I am al
ways treated with the utmost con-
sideration, l do not feel very near to
any of them. 1 merely give this
background before asking you what
I should do about accepting an invita-
ton have received. at my home ad-
dress, to the wedding reception. Shall
I consider this bona fide invitation
and accept it, or shall l believe it
only, which I am not expected TO
consider seriously? And what about
sending wedding present? And since
I am working in the house now, do
you think it better for me to decline
or accept, verbally rather than by
written note?
| Answer: There is no such thing as
an invitation which isn't an invita-
ton! 1t is entirely proper to accept
| the invitation-if you can Or on the
other hand, to regret it if you prefer,
! or if you must. BY this I mean that
/ If your patient would suffer during
your absence, then you could not very
well go and should for this reason
decline. But if you are free to 60 and
you like the bride and would there
| fore be glad to accept. then do so by
all means. In any case I think it
would be very nice to send q small
present-nothing of any Importance
but just enough to take her your good
wishes. 1t would be simplest, and
therefore best, to accept the invita-
ton verbally: 1T was very kind of
you to send me an invitation. Unless
Mrs Elderly needs me at the moment
shall certainly love to have glimpse
Of the wedding"
nEAR MRS. POST: In a house
where they are invited to eat
with the family, are both a trained
nurse and governess expected to
stay at the table until the family
leave? And If they may be excused,
what do they say before leaving the
table and who do they say it to?
Answer: The nurse should excuse
herself when she has finished in order
to return to her patient if it happens
that she has finished before the rest
Of the family. If the patient is at the
table, she waits until the end of the
meal. The governess would also not
leave until the children do. Both
nurse and governess would leave the
family in the living room unless
needed, or invited to stay. When
either of them has reason to leave
the table she makes her excuses to
the lady of the house, or whoever Is
sitting in her place.

THERE seems to be only two condi-
tions in which men are willing
to handle flowers. One is when the
flowers are in box, and the other is
when they are in the garden. 1t seems
pretty silly, because obviously man
who will handle them either way
doesn't really mind flowers. In fact,
he's rather apt to like them.
But he has the odd idea that flowers
In a paper are too obviously flowers,
and he hates to have to carry them.
Now. really, gentlemen! Flowers in
box and flowers in a garden are just
as obviously flowers as flowers in a
paper.
And anyhow, no one is going to
think, just because man has a pack
age of flowers that he is taking them
home to arrange in vases around his
own game room or study. They're
going to think, How very nice. He's
taking flowers home to his wife or to
his girl" That is, if they think about
1t at all. Most of them don't.
Our main idea is to urge the men
to carry home flowers whenever they
feel like it. It's perfectly good and
masculine habit

Secretary Morgenthau and Budget
Director Bell already were there,
and all listened closely to Mr.. Ec-
cles' talk concerning current bust
ness conditions and the stock mar
ket situation.
An immediate problem before the
President and his budget advisers
was financing a proposed loan on
corn, to help farmers hold their
corn past the present period of low
prices. Morgenthau and Agricul-
ture Secretary Wallace have been
studying possible means of financ-
ing that government aid program,
without increasing the treasury def
icit beyond the last estimate of
$685. 100000.
It was decided by the President
that the Commodity Credit corpora
ton should provide $85, 000,0 900 for
the corn loans, obtaining the money
from the RFC and repaying the
latter agency when congress makes
the necessary appropriations. Sec
rotary Wallace said the corn loans
would be about 46 cents a bushel.

Help for Stock Market

liver since the slump in the stock
II market began the government
has been urged to do something
about it. Finally the administra-
ton yielded to the demands and the
federal reserve board of governors
reduced margin requirements on
stock purchases from SIS to 40 per
cent and imposed so per cent mar
gin on short sales. The new require
ments went into effect November
and are not retroactive.
No official explanation was given
for the boards action but it was UNI
derstood that it was designed to ad-
just the margin requirements to cur
rent stock market conditions.
Imposition of the increased mar
gin requirements on short sales was
an innovation from the board
standpoint, a stock exchange rule
requiring only 10 point protection on
short sales.

GET READY FOR
WINTER DRIVING

No section of our population is
more dependent upon the automo-
bile as a means of transportation
than the residents of the smaller
communities and rural districts.
Yet each Fall, many car own
ers cause themselves a great deal
of trouble and expense by neglect
ing one or all of the simple yet
necessary steps to assure proper
operation of the car in Winter
weather. ~ ---. @
A minimum Winter protection
program should cover:
/. Complete change to correct
grade of lubricants for motor,
transmission and differential.
2. Motor tuned up, including adj
justing Of carburetor, valves,
distributor, sparkplugs, genera
tor and all electrical equipment.
8. Drain and flush cooling system.
Refill with suitable anti-freeze
solution.
Selection Of motor oil and
greases for Winter driving is par
ticularly important. You must
select an oil which will permit
easy starting, that will lubricate
the motor throughout the entire
driving range of speeds and will
continue to do SO for a reasonable
mileage.
For many years Quaker State
Winter Oils and Greases have
been recognized as the highest
quality and most generally salts
factory Winter lubricants on the
market, @-.
Through Quaker States highly
developed methods and equipment
it is possible to produce motor
oil which will have satisfying
body over the 400-degree range Of
temperature it will meet. That
is, when the motor temperature
is way below zero, the oil will still
be fluid enough to allow the motor
to turn easily and also to flow
freely to all the bearings. Yet this
same oil has enough body to stand
up and to give the motor proper
fabrication when the temperature
inside the cylinder wall reaches
400 and over.
AS with any other product you
buy, you get what you pay for.
An oil of Quaker State quality is
necessarily expensive to make.
This does not mean, however, that
Quaker State is more expensive
to use. Being pure, concentrated
fabrication, it stands up longer in
service. It gives more miles per
quart and at the same time gives
the bearing surfaces safer protec-
ton. ..."la ...-
