VISITING CARDS: 1883

Dear Mrs. Post: Visiting. card
formalities have gone a long way
since was young. and I know my
daughter is right in saying. Re
lax, Mother. put the cards away:
this is 1882" I am first to agree
that many of yesterdays mechani-
cal gestures are out Of key today,
but in their time most OF them
served a real purpose. which is
difficult for our daughters and
sons to believe. What I'd like to
have you write is something def
mite about the times wh,sn cards
should still be used in addition to
the strictly modern custom of
writing invitations on them.
Answer: Apart from diplomatic
and official circumstances, their
especial uses today are: % to be
left when paying a first visit upon
strangers; CD to be left on you
by the strangers who return your
visit; 49, to be left at the house
of a friend or an acquaintance
where there is illness or where
there has been a death. In the
first case, ITO inquire" and in
the second, Deepest sympathy is
written on your card; "a to be
sent with presents and with flow
ers.
Unusual Question About Marking
Belongings
Dear Mrs. Post: Since my ques-
ton has never before been of in
terest to me, perhaps I just mag
inc that I've never read anything
in your column about it. You see,
I'm marrying a man whose name
includes a junior. His parents are
young and live just several blocks
down the street from where we're
building our house. We shall of
course always have to use the
junior with our name because you
can understand what confusion
would probably result if we didn't.
But what about marking our linens
and silver, and even our personal
belongings such as some new lug
gage we're ordering for our we'd
ding trip?
Answer: The things that go
out of your house, like writing
paper, visiting cards and even
your luggage, should be marked
with the Jr. because it is neces-
sary information to others. Some
provision might have to be made
if you and your mother-in-law's
things are likely to be mixed
at the same laundry, or if ever
combined at big party. Uusually,
however, the things that are not
taken out of your own house. such
as your linen, your silver, or your
glass, would not be marked to in
clude the Jr.
A Red Dress
Dear Mrs. Post: My son was
married recently, and as the we'd
ding was in the evening 1 wore
my very best evening dress.
which is red trimmed with really
beautiful gold costume jewelry.
I've since heard that some of the
brides family thought / was very
unsuitably dressed. Will YOU
please tell me what was wrong
with my dress?
Answer: I see nothing wrong
at all with a red evening dress,
especially this year when lip
stick red" is the smartest of COL
ors, and no dress is seemingly
complete without gold costume
Jewelry. Maybe it wasn't the color
that was questioned. 1t may have
been the way it was made. Maybe
it was cut out too low to wear in
church. If not, then I can't i'm
agine why it was not proper as
well as attractive.

a time.

The door of Mrs. Benthorne's
room opened as he reached the up

Dawson hurried from the room,

He collided with Helen Ben

the landing. He grabbed her arms
and together they struggled to
keep from falling headlong. She
screamed and Dawson muttered a
few choice observations on women
running without looking where
they were going.

Only About Three
Weeks Away

AS the warm wind of approaching

thoughts turn to fishing, and while
halibut fishermen gather at I. Gold
STEMS, Charlie Warmers, and Swan
sons, to prepare for the commercial
falibut season, the fun fishermen
gets dutsy gear out of back closets
It's worth predicting that there
will be a certain number of too
hopefuls this year, as in years past,
who will go out to the lakes, the
streams and the saltchuck, at least
two weeks before the fish.
Salmon Follow Herring
AS for the salmon, the mighty
King, oltimers say Don't expect
salmon until the herring are in,
and expect herring any time after
April TO-"
The herring schools of the Juneau
section, are believed to winter in
deep water off the north end of
Shelter Island, and before they come
to the surface, millions of inch-long
i herring fry come to the surface
where they are swarmed by gulls,
giving rise to frequent erroneous
reports that "the herring are in. $
Babies" at AUX Bay
Such schools of baby herring are
reported to have risen in the last
few days in the vicinity of AUX
Bay, according to the residents out
the road, but Martin Hoist. veteran
herring seiner, says the real fish
don't appear for almost month af-
ter the baby fish.
And when the herring first strike
in, they'll put the earliest King SAL
mon fishing on the calendar off
Amalga Landing and Eagle River
bar, and from there they'll work
down to Tee Harbor and SO to AUX
Bay.
For steelhead, first arrival of the
stream fish, Peterson Greek will give
up a few, but not until the ice has
run out of the river and Salt Lake.
A good bet for those who want to
gamble, is any of a number of
streams in the islands.
Out on the West Coast, steel
head and cutthroats will be caught
around the first of April while dur
ing especially mild winters, steel
head may be taken around Sitka
near the first of the year.
King Time Near
But for that gamble, when it looks
good on the mainland shore, but the
fish still haven't appeared, take
run by boat or plane out to Pavlof
Harbor, Hoonah Sound, Lake Eva,
Angoon, or other locale where fair
sized streams cross long grassy flats
and give steelhead and cutthroat
