objections to the Zoning ordin-
ance as proposed is that the
only waterfront area remaining
has been designated as private
residential area, Class AA. Some
of the property owners see many
possibilities of large beachfront
hotels, as in Miami Beach, event
uallly being erected here, which
would be prohibited by the zon-

plans for the area near the old
cigar factories to be hotel sites,
but that is quite ways from the

of beachfront from West Mar

high development possibilities
both for hotel and private resi-
dental area. How to zone it is
a problem.

SISTERS LIVING ALONE

Dear Mrs. Post; Ny sister is in
the early thirties; am just
twenty. We are planning to move
into our own apartment very soon
since we have been left alone. We
have always lived here, and our
parents before W Is well. Will our
being alone mean that ] never can
have men friends at the house, or
little parties. unless my sister In
at home? She II . professional
woman and II isn't possible for her
70 be home very much of the time,
and that's why I'm worrying
about this.
Answer: II your same friends
come to the house when your sister
Il ut home, then ! hardly think
your neighbors will gossip about
you should they happen to go to
see you when she is not home.
Obviously you must not let man
come In ut an hour that can be
considered late In your community.
Nor must you give parties only on
evenings when you know your
sister will not be at home. In other
words, behave with ordinary COM
mon sense and observance of pro-
priety and 1t is not likely that any
one Will talk about you.

A GUEST GIVES A PART

Dear MIS-. POST r or some years
my husband has gone off hunting
with a friend while have visited
his wife, and every year she has
shown me a perfectly wonderful
time. Her lovely friends have Civ
en- q round OF parties IN my honor,
in return for which | have never
done more than say thank you.
This year our husbands are going
hunting again and am staying
with the other wife, and Id like 10
give some kind of party while /
am there. Ny husband thinks IT
would be nicer to make the occa-
sion a dinner and include the hus-
bands, but I feel that perhaps, be-
cause their parties were all lunches
and bridge parties for the wives
alone, ii would not be suitable for
me to return their hospitality by
giving a dinner and asking the
husbands. VIII you give me your
opinion, and also tell me If we
ought 10 ask our hosts TO receive
with US, and when / should send
the invitations fWe are of course
giving the party in a hotel.)
Answer: / agree with your hus-
band that it would be very nice to
include the men and give a dinner.
II will be simpler, / think, to give
this party on their return, because
you will be able to talk over your
list of guests and other plans for
your dinner with your hostess. and
to send out your invitations from
her address. Send handwritten
notes of invitation as soon as you
can after you arrive. If 1t is
customary in this particular COM
munity to have any one receive
with hostess at dinner, then
you would of course invite the
friends you are visiting. Accord
ing to conventional usage, a hostess
receives alone and her husband
assists by looking after the guests
whom his wife has received at the
door
office Manners
Dear Mrs. Post: Please describe
proper behavior in this business
situation. i am secretary to a
very busy man who has a great
many people coming to see him
all the time. l do not sit in his
office but have a small cubicle
just outside. Often, however, to get
him information that he wants at
the time, or to ask him to take a
telephone call that is long distance.
In fact, as many other secretaries
will tell you, it is not possible not
to interrupt a busy executive if
he is occupied very long with a
visitor. What ] want to know is
whether l should excuse myself
every time I have to interrupt
their conversation. 1t seems abrupt
and ill-mannered to go in and
stand there without saying any
thing; on the other hand, perhaps
il may seem overpolite 10 some
people if such Interruptions are
generally accepted as part of the
duties of a secretary.
Answer: You would quietly
place a telegram or written memo
randa or papers beside him on his
desk When it is necessary to in.
terrupt him, you just stand facing
him and wait until his attention IL
free, and he looks at you. Yol
then give him the message. o.
course, if you have message thai
is urgent, then you would have tt
say, Excuse me, Mr.. Jones. Long
distance calling"
