Engaged Man and Girl on a
HOLIDAY

Dear Mrs. POST. Do you con-
slider it improper for an engaged
man and girl to travel in the same
party If there is an escort sent by
the travel agents to conduct this
tour.
Answer: If the tour is organ
lied for young people, as so many
European tours are, with an es-
cort that can be said to take the
place of chaperon. then this
would of course be proper But
to go on public tour. which has
no personal supervision. would be
a questionable thing to do.

Dear Mrs. Post: The men in my
wedding are wearing white flan-
nels and dark blue coats, and they
have asked me if their clothes
must match to the extent of hav-
ing each coat alike in cut. Some
of the men prefer single breasted
coats and others double-breasted,
and as they will want to wear
these clothes during the rest of
the season ! don't like to seem un-
reasonable. Also, are bow ties
essential or may they wear four
finland ties, and what kind of
shirts would be best?
Answer: 1t would be better if
their coats might be alike. but
under the circumstances you de-
scribe it would seem too exacting
to demand that a man buy a
special style of coat which will
not be useful to him after the
wedding And since they will all
be in blue with white trousers,
the difference would probably
never be noticed except perhaps
on the two ushers who lead the
procession. Therefore. ! would
suggest that two who have coats
alike be chosen for this position
Four-in-hand or bow ties are
equally suitable but these must OF
course all be alike. Shirts should
be white with attached collars that
look smooth and starched.

Handy Hints
JEWELRY NEEDS SIMPLE
CARE

Jewelry worth keeping is cer-
tainly worth keeping well. It's a
good idea to keep each piece. in a
separate box, preferably lined.
Contact with other pieces causes
scratches. To clean, wash with a
soft brush in a bath Of tepid
water. bland soap and two or three
drops of ammonia. Rinse thor
ouehly, dry. and polish with out
ing flannel.

CHAPTER ELEVEN

sordid to the beautiful.
Brenda took house and. with

escort.
She danced and dined, went on
motor trips, was much sought
after by members of the Ameri-
can Legation. and successfully
carried on her latest affair.
Days went by with no line to
Larry. His letters came regular
ly. Sometimes Brenda opened
them, often not.
Occasionally she dashed off a
few words.
Kay decided they must be po-
tent words as Lsrry's messages
and telephone calls. letters and
gifts were never ceasing tribute.
One day Brenda, dressing for
luncheon at the Embassy, called
Kay into her room.

But, Miss Brent" slightly
shocked.
Hell never know the differ

1t was true. Kay had been
obliged to sign Brendas letters for
a long time.

said, smiling sweetly at her re-
Election to test the lipstick.

Kay slowly left the room. Co.
ing to her desk she picked up a
pen.
The enormity of what she had
been asked to do frightened her.
At the same time it was warmly
delightful to be writing to Larry,
Adjusts Fingers
Adjusting her fingers to Bren-
da's handwriting, an uninteresting
scrawl, she began.

it she trembled.
Il have been bad to my dear
est, writing so seldom, very, very
bad.
And I'm sorry, very very sorry.
THE flowers came last night,
darling, and l sat beside them all
evening long, thinking about you
and how much love you"
This was quite true, except that
Kay had sat beside the flowers and
thought about Larry while Brenda
danced at the Casino.
She wrote on. And the brace
