Good Taste
Today
BY EMILY POST


Dear Mrs. Post: (s) Is June
too late in the season TO give a
tea Of any size in honor Of friend
who will be visiting me then?
(bl And something else that I
wish you would make little
clearer TO me is the situation OF
introducing some one who comes
to a party a stranger. Is this
person introduced to every one,
and If not, might not it seem
unfriendly TO her if l didn't see
that she met my other friends?
Answer: ta) No, not at all. A
tea may be given at any season
on any day-throughout the twelve
months of the year. In hot
weather a hostess naturally serves
iced tea instead of hot tea, and
only sandwiches and cake and
cookies, and no hot breads. Other
wise the party is the zane. (b)
If no more than six or eight people
are present. the stranger is intro
duced to every one. In other
words. IL there are 20 few people
present that their attention
is attracted to the new arrival,
you would then introduce her to
every one in turn. You say their
names first because they would
listen more intently, and you re-
peat her name only once or twice.
For example: Mrs. Jones. Miss
Smith, Mrs. Neighbor and then
the name of Mrs. Stranger. tNot
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Stranger; Miss
Smith. Mrs. Stranger; Mrs. Neigh
Dor. Mrs. Stranger. But if there
are several groups in the room
and no one has noticed her come
in, you would simply introduce her
to the nearest group. Or you
might take her over to a group
whom you believe she would like
best, and seat her with them. If
every one else has arrived you
would also join this group with
her.
Presenting an Important Guest
Dear Mrs. Post: la l am re-
sponsible for the success of large
organization dinner. At this din
ner there will be a state officer
present, who will talk at length
after the dinner. Do I introduce
this official before or during the
dinner even though she is to speak
afterward at the meeting? (b)
Since we are to adjourn after the
dinner to a large auditorium, who
dismisses the dinner?
Answer: (a) AS a rule the guest
speaker is not introduced until she
is introduced to every one as a
speaker. You would of course in
troduce any members of the club
who happen to be standing near
her as well as the club officers
or committee members who make
it a point to approach in order
to be introduced to her. Some one
is always appointed at such times
to meet the guest, either when she
arrives at the club or else to go
and drive her to the club, and to
stay with her and never leave her
until she has taken her place at
the table, and those to be seated
next to her are introduced. OBJ
When dinner is over, you, as chair
man, stand up and announce that
it is time to adjourn to the audi
forum.

Women
Dear Miss Grey: After listening
to a program presenting notable
women speakers from China, Ger
many, Spain and Czecho-slovakia,
Il occurred TO me that we women
Of America too often forget the
enviable opportunities and good
fortune We enjoy compared with
the women of other countries. ]
think it is up to each and every
one of US to realize this fact and
help make ours greater United
States.
Am I doing my part?" is a
question for all of us to keep in
mind. Let us stand together to
make this a better world for our
children and our children's child
rem. We must keep in mind the
dreadful conditions in China and
Spain and let their sorrow force
us on TO a greater understanding
Of life and the preciousness of
peace. READER.
You are right. When women
and mothers impress little boys
with hatred of war, they will
do much TO preserve peace. The
young mind il impressionable
and carries certain convictions
learned In childhood, into ma
turity. That is why all think
ing women should try to do
their share in the cause of peace.

Dear Cynthia: VIII you please
tell me how TO remove the black
deposit that accumulates on q
waffle iron? HOUSEWIFE.

can help. I am sorry ! do not
