Queries
By EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: My fiance Is
20-odd years older than I am, and
as he lives many miles away from
my home, has never met my rela-
tives and friends at home. He
knows my college friends because
I met him while at college. He Is
now coming to pay us a visit
and to be given the official stamp
of approval by my numerous fam
lily. Oh, dear, the situation makes
me jittery due to the fact that he Is
so much older than most of my
friends, and even older than a
great many of my aunts and uncles.
I don't know how to introduce him.
He is a doctor of prominence and
that's why I wonder If it Is right
for me to call him John when in
Producing him. Oughtn't I say DR..
Blank?
Answer-No, you should forget his
age and call him John to members
of your family and all your intimate
friends. The very fact that you are
marrying him bridges the difference
in your ages. This Is a situation
that is not at all unusual in this
unself- conscious day when life be-
gins at 40 just as easily as it does at
18. OF course, you do introduce
him as DR.. Blank to very young
people, and also to those who are not
counted among your most intimate
friends and who are, therefore, not
expected to call him by his first
name-and later In his own town
you always speak Of him as DR..
Blank to those Of his patients who
are not personal friends.
~ k*
Dear Mrs. Post: Why is 1t that
saying "Will you have some more?"
should be considered impolite? When
the fact is obvious that the serving
is the second or even the third one,
why Is 1t wrong to say some more?"
Answer-At the table it is entirely
proper that the hostess Cor host),
who may be serving, say to a guest,
won't you have some more?" or
won't you let me give you another
piece?" But at q general party,
when sandwiches or cakes are passed
for the second or third time, it is
more polite to ask, wont you have
some of these cakes?" or won't
you try these sandwiches" More"
does rather suggest that you have
noticed that this guest has helped
himself before.

While hyacinth and narcis-
sus bulbs will bloom in water,
all bulbs produce better bios
SONS when planted in pots of
earth. Good garden soil and
we'll rotted manure in equal
parts is the ideal soil, but use the
best soil you have.
Buy them from a reliable seed
store and never plant mixed
bulbs for winter bloom. Buy
only named varieties, and only
those which are recommended
for forcing. If you like
hyacinths, plant half a dozen
white Roman hyacinths in a
6-inch pot now. Set the pot in
a dark, cool place until about
the middle of December. Then
bring to the light, placing in
sunny window, and you should
have blooms for Christmas.
Remove butter that is to be
used In making cake about 20
minutes before you start mix

be much easier to cream it.
To remove mud stains allow
the article stained to become
