Party Calls
Are Still
Correct
Hostesses Expect
Their Guests to
Leave Cards.
from Associated Press.
By EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: Not long ago
my husband and went to large
buffet supper for distinguished man
who was a great friend of ours. The
party was, in spite Of its size, very in
formal and enjoyable. Now comes the
question of what is expected in this
present day in return for this hospi-
tality? We were invited because Of
our friendship With the guest of honor.
We scarcely knew the host and host
ess at all, and it seems to me that I
ought to pay party call upon the
hostess. But my children, and some
Of their friends who were here the
other evening, all agreed that party
calls are out. Will you discuss this
situation?
Answer: 1t is true that party calls
are no longer as much Of an obliga-
ton as they used to be. But even
so it is courteous to 60 and leave a
card on whoever has invited you to
their house for the first time-unless
you invite them back again in return.
1t is possible, of course, if your host
ess is young woman. that she will
not expect you to come to see her. On
the other hand, if she had ever lived
abroad and if she had ever had any
European training, such as staying for
a length Of time in Washington, she
would probably expect you to be more
punctilious about showing courtesy.
In other words, it is not so much
what she would do or what your chill
dren would do as that you are ex-
pected to uphold the standards which
are your own. You are right if you
leave card. If you don't leave card,
feeling that you should leave one,
you are wrong. At least that's the
way it seems to me.
X
nEAR MRS. POST: Is there any
occasion when man should not
smoke pipe where the smoking of
cigars and cigarettes is permissible?
Answer: A pipe is never correct on
any formal occasion. Cigars and Gig
arettes. on the other hand, are always
smoked after formal dinners. A man
smokes a pipe at home or in the
country or at any informal gathering,
especially in the house of some one
whom he knows very we'll. In other
words. the rule is: A man wearing
formal clothes (tails in the evening or
cutaway in the day time) should not
smoke pipe. ever. whereas he is al
lowed to smoke cigar or a cigarette
to his hearts content. Personally
should like to break this rule, since I
like the smell Of pipe much better
than that of cigar.

serving as an excuse for showing the
most beautiful of furs, jewelry and an
exquisite wedding gown. Every event
in the lives OF this couple was Just
one more reason for more clothes and
more furs.
But with the modern woman fully
aware that fine clothes require a
streamlined chassis, an interlude called
Billions for Beauty" showed various
phases Of exercising on the mat, the
face in the sun, hands and feet with
rosy tips, hair in curls worn softly by
day and piled high by night There
was great variety in the coiffures Of
those hundred lovely models, which
only goes to prove that all trends
must be suited to the individual.
And then, as to hats! There were
big. sweeping, off-the-face hats for
Southern wear; knitted hats with a
new feeling: Russian turbans in multi
colors, peaked hats and small round
"gob' affairs, often with peaked
crowns and chin straps. For the cas-
ual hat, brins were featured. Big
hats were shown with suits In both
felt and straw. Enormous sun-shad-
ers. like huge lily pads, were worn
with Southern clothes, and there were
Mexican pointed crowns and rolled-up
brims.
Most stunning of play clothes were
those from California with their strik-
ing colors, with long lines of girls pa
rading in costumes suited to hunting,
hiking. tennis, golf, skating, ski
jumping. bicycling. Choose your
sport and your costume is sure to be
smart. California has specialized in
play clothes. They play all the year
around and know what it takes to
turn out the perfect sports ensemble.
Style-at-a-price was glorified and
honored in the closing scene entitled,
America Dresses the Millions" Forty
eight young ladies participated in this
scene, each wearing one Of the four
preferred shades of blue for the COM
ing season-navy, royal, cornflower,
pastel-and each of them in differ
ent ready-made frock of moderate
price. This is the type of dress for
which the rest of the world looks to
America. We do it better than Paris,
London and the other important cities
OF the Continent. The world has its
eyes on the American manufacturer
OF the smart. yet inexpensive, daytime
dress. Fashion moves across the
country to the rhythm of the electric
cutting machine, and American de-
sign marches on!

dazzled even the most hardened
fashion show habitue with the lavish
profusion of new ideas for clarifying
the American woman.
New techniques in display were en-
ployed, which speeded up the pres
entation with quickly moving groups
of models devoted to the swift changes
of the American Way of Living" Spe-
cial emphasis was focused on the
opening of the travel and resort sea-
son, the crucial time when the first
ideas for the next season take form,
with play clothes for all climes fur
nishing kaleidoscope of gay colors.
Unlike most presentations relating
in any way to fashion, this one left
Paris completely out of the picture and
celebrated the coming of age of Amer
lean designers, manufacturers, stylists
and all those who have striven these
many years to make this country a
creative center of the fashion world
Furthermore. it represented the con-
certed planning and effort of the FORE
most fashion authorities in America,
who set aside their commercial affilia-
tions and gave generously Of their
knowledge, experience, talent and taste
to produce a program that compre-
hendS the American scene from the
luxury clothes of a petted American
wife to the mass production of fashion
that is such an amazing miracle in
this country. This was the first formal
and panoramic display Of what
America is giving the fashion world"
and why the American label IS achiev-
ing world significance.
THE glamorous gamut OF fashions
went from $4,000 furs to chic
little dresses that every woman can
have. They were displayed ingeniously
on runways that made cross from
diagonal corners of the huge ball room,
with a stage in the center augment
ing the permanent stage at one end
OF the room, affording closeup view
for every one.
When the curtain rose, Winter

black silhouette of the city was left
behind and in its place gay colors
bloomed gloriously in the tropical sun.
For beach and play, skirts were no.
ticeably fuller, and often pleated;
often knee-length, too. In general,
skirts were shorter for street. There
were shorter shorts, short slacks as
well as long ones. Beach coats gave
a choice of floor. ankle and knee
length. Shirts were both tuck-in and
waist-length snap-on type. frequently
in darker colors than the shorts and
skirts with which they were worn.

WOMAN asks why there are
more widows than widowers.
Everywhere I co." she SAYS.

~ Everywhere I CO." she says,
4 a "the landscape is cluttered up
with widows. They abound in flocks
and appear to be our most abundant
fauna. but widowers are almost as
rare as white blackbirds.
"At every hen-party. three -fourths
Of the guests are widows, but I have
never been at any function where
there were even enough widowers to
go around. The resort hotels every
where are jammed to the roof with
more or less bereaved ladies who have
lost their mates by death or otherwise,
but widowers are 80 scarce that when
one occasionally puts E IN s1$SSar-
ance 1t almost causes . riot. And,
as everybody knows. it is the pere-
grinating widows who are the prop
and stay of the tourist bureaus. They
would have to shut up shop II they
depended on the widower trade.
Il confess that this state of affairs
puzzles me. and I wonder why there
are, 10 all outward appearances at
least, a hundred widows to one wido-
over. What becomes Of a man when
his wife dies or establishes a resi-
dence in Reno? How does he get out
Of circulation? Does he retire to
a monastery or what? Or is it that
women are more faithful to the mem
cries of their late lamenteds than
men are?"
THE reason why there are more
widows than widowers is so OBJ
vious that it requires little explana-
ton. In the first place, it is an act of
God, as statistics show that after q
married couple have passed middle
age the husband dies far oftener than
the wife. Thus it is an actual fact

has to order his own meals instead of

that only wife is willing to take the
