How q Nice Girl Does
Not Behave.

Dear Mrs. Post: Last summer
I spent two weeks with the fam
lily of a man ! have known very
well for over a year. His mother
had written to invite me. During
the winter months this family
lives here in town. / don't think
that ! shall ever be invited to
visit them again because Of some
thing that happened last winter,
but at least perhaps you could
help me 10 rectify my error II l
have been wrong. One Saturday
afternoon the son asked me TO
come to dinner at his house on
the next day and ! said I'd love
to but that / couldn't unless his
mother said something about my
coming He reminded me that !
should know how casual mis- fam
lily was after having visited them,
and that his mother had told him
to ask me. I said thank you but
told him I couldn't 90 on his invi-
tation. Later I learned that his
mother was very upset and said
was being overnice and that she
would wait long while before
asking me again.
Answer: II you had been a
stranger to his mother, then you
should have waited for an invita-
ton from her. But since you had
evidently been accepted as friend
of the family, the mothers word
sent you through her son was SUI
ficient. The best thing l can
think of to do now is to tell the
son that you are sorry and that
you hadn't meant to be prissy but
that you had been read such a
lecture on this subject when you
were growing up that you thought
this was the way nice girl was
expected to behave.

In her own Imagination. And also,
