ny EMILY POST
ENGRAVING THE
INVITATIONS

Dear Mrs. Post: am to be mar.
ried at the house of some very
good friends Of mine, because ]
have no home of my own and nc
parents. Should the invitations be
engraved to include merely their
address. or should the line read
AT the residence Of? would
like 1t to be plainly evident that
I am inviting people to my own
wedding: these friends are being
generous enough TO invite me to
their house.
Answer: The wording. Miss
Mary Jones and Mr.. John Smith
request the honor of your presence
at their marriage" makes 1t evident
that the bride is actually giving the
wedding. Personally. I think it
would be best to have the invita-
lions read "at the residence of"
not only because it would be cour-
teous to your friends, but because
the inclusion of their name gives
the wedding more background, as
1t were. than merely an impersonal
address.
DON'T BE DROUGHT ALONG"
Dear Mrs. Post: A man / know
very well. but to whom I am not
engaged, is trying to persuade me
to 60 with him to the wedding of
his cousin--to the church and to
the reception afterwards at club.
I have received no invitation, but
he said one was not necessary since
they would not mind his bringing
me. He thinks i am being over
fussy in feeling that should have
regular invitation when he can
assure me that everything is all
right. What is your opinion?
Answer: My opinion is the same
as yours. 1t is always in question
able taste for girl TO be brought
along" by man. II there is no
reason why an extra guest would
not be welcomed. 1t is certainly
very simple thing for him TO ask
his cousin to send you an invita-
ton. Or IL the invitations were
limited to the exact number sent
and there are none left. any woman
member of the brides family could
telephone you and invite you YER
bally. BY this I mean 1t is not
necessary that the bride or her
mother be asked to take time in
the midst Of all they have to do to
call you on the telephone: a mes
sage from any one at the brides
house saying. Mrs. Mother hopes

CHAPTER III

/
Storm braced herself against the
onslaught of feeling that even his
name, spoken by Marcia, could
rouse in her.
Don't be silly, Marcia" she
cried sharply. She hadn't meant
to be sharp. The moment the
words were out, she heard the
shrill note of panic behind them.
She went on swiftly, "Of course
/ like your boy friend. I'm just
out of place here. / didn't know
when ] came that I'd feel like this.
But now l find that I can't forget

There was a stiffness. Linda

airplane or hear that sound of
motors, i remember that they're
learning how to wage war. That's
all that matters. 1t isn't Jimmy!
It isn't"
She slipped her arm around
Marcia, tried to recapture the in
timacy they had shared as young
girls at Miss Lindley's school.

should have been polite If it
choked me. But you mustn't think
it's your boy friend-that I dislike

girl, but dismissed 1t because ! con-
sidered her weakness. However,
since she has started in on me and
some Of my former friends are not
A. friendly as they used to be. I
can see how dangerous such q Cos
sip can be.
Should explain 10 my friends
just how she has always gossiped
about everyone, or should ignore
her? WORRIED.
Ignore her. II she gets too
dangerous you can warn her but
~ long ~ she rambles on In her
pitiful and petty way, pay no
attention to her. The world is
full Of They say" artists-weak
minded souls who can't take

fine men and women, 90 they
fall back on poison gossip to tear
others down. 1t IL their mistaken
and ignorant idea that by doing

Well, they fool no one but
themselves and invariably end up
with practically no associates

Dear Mrs. Post: In returning the
ladle to the gravy boat, should the
handle of 1t rest against the side
Of the boat or in the spout?
Answer: The spout is preferable
since the handle rests there more
securely, but If the spout has been
poured over. then of course the side
is preferable.
