Helpful Hints
On Correct
Etiquette
Express Pleasure
At Having Met
A Stranger
By EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: My class of young
people are most earnest in their
eagerness for social knowledge of
the right thing to do, and they
have asked me to write to you with
a request that you answer the fol-
lowing questions for them. We
would all appreciate it very much
if you could find a place in your
column for discussion Of these
situations.
!. Some one is introduced by a
friend on the street and spends a
brief time talking. (a) What
should this person say to the
stranger when ready TO leave be-
sides good-by? (b) And is there
anything the other person can
answer that would be especially
polite?
Answer: (a) I'm glad to have
met you" (b) Thank you" or I'm
delighted to have met you!'
2. A young man has taken a girl
he likes very much to dance. This
is the first time he has ever taken
her out. When they arrive home
what can he say that would be
polite?
Answer: He: Thank you for
going with me-"
She: Thank you for taking me;
I've had lovely (or a wonderfully
time" 1t is very rude not to say
thank you to a host, as we'll as to
a hostess.
3. When visitors want to smoke
and no one in the family is smok-
ing, is. it considered the nice thing
to do for them to ask first if any
one minds?
Answer: Yes. 1t is always polite
to ask-especially if an older person
is present who might object to It,
4. When a girl hasn't any good
idea of the depth of a mans purse
how does she know the amount he
can afford to spend on her dinner?
Answer: No matter whether his
purse is deep or not deep she should
order moderately. Moderately"
means, in a restaurant where each
ittem has price mark after it. a
main dish and either something
before or after this. The main
dish is generally among the entrees
or a dish in the special ready-to-
serve list. If she has grapefruit
or oysters first, then she would have
black coffee afterward. Or if she
begins with the main dish, then
she perhaps orders a salad or a
dessert afterward. If he is obvi-
ously gourmet and urges her to
have long dinner and suggests
dishes to her, she could eat little
more. OF course, in many restau-
rants the price of a whole meal
is that of the main dish and in
that case she orders whichever OF
the dishes she chooses.
5. What can a man do when he
would like to assist woman across
the street and she doesn't seem
to know that it is she who is sup
posed to take his arm and not he
who should be expected to take hers?
She probably would think him
lacking in attention if he didn't
take her arm, wouldn't she?
Answer: It is never correct that
a man take hold of a woman s
arm, unless she is In imminent
danger of falling or being run over!
Otherwise. he should merely offer
his arm on such occasions as cross
ing busy street or being anywhere
in crowd where the going is diff
cult-this is, of course. according
to very strict precepts of good taste.

Protect the Skin

Harsh winter weather calls for ex-

To prevent them from being rough

There Must Be Complete

men socially until after her 18th

>. But the old sheltering safe
guards, which kept a girl hidden
away until her late teens and then
made middle-aged woman of her
at Is, won't do any longer. The
movies, mass education and the fast
pace of Goth century living have
made them less effective than the
old-fashioned lightning rod.
Today the modern maid faces the
realities of social life with open,
unafraid eyes-aided and guided
by the sympathetic and understand
ing cooperation of her parents. She
learns how intelligently to meet
problems which her mother never
encountered; she learns the value
of an open mind and sense of
humor.
Most important of all, she is
neither a prude nor a flapper-but

Girls-Don't Cry
Over Standups!
Standups do happen, and there's
no point in allowing yourself to be-
come all hurt and bruised over one
even if it is ineXcusable.
If you're the victim OF male
who either cheerfully forgets about
dates or breaks them without eX-
planation, it won't do you a bit
of good to let him know that you
are peeved insulted, broken hearted
or hurt-or furious combination
of all four. Treat him with cheer
full, impersonal friendliness - and
turn him down the next time he
asks for a date.
Any young man who must break
a date on short notice. with good
reason, will do everything he can
to show you how sorry he is and
how unavoidable the whole thing
was. If you believe that he deserves
another chance, by all means grant
him another date.
And for the
Gentlemen.
Cast your eye over the advice for
the girls, then consider these spe-
cial suggestions:
II you must break a date, man
fully telephone the girl and explain
the situation to her-even if you're
due at her house in 10 minutes.
Then follow up your explanation
with little note of apology. Make
the girl realize how sorry and dis
appointed you are. Mail the note
special delivery, SO that she'll get
it at the earliest possible moment.
In this day of modern conven-
iences-the telephone, the automo-
bile and the telegraph-theres no
excuse for standing up girl with
out explanation. Leaving her wait
ing dismally in her living room is
just plain boorish.
If you're stood up. be nonchalant
about it all and resolve never to
date that girl again. Let some other
fellow be the victim next time.
