Dear Mrs. Post: am going to
take a first cruise. alone. know
that ! shall be put at table with
other people In the dining room.
and / am wondering just how the
problem OF introducing myself to
them should be handled. / am
widow and I won't know anyone.
Answer: There are very few
rules further than those Of natur-
ally tactful impulse. But at least
you do not 20 down TO the table
and abruptly announce. Il am
Mrs. Brown" Whether you say
anything at all at the first meal
depends upon how many are at
table and whether any Of them
seem responsive. At a table for
six. let US say, II two are talking
together and the three others are
also together. you say nothing I'M
less something is said to you. II
one alone Is sitting next to you.
you perhaps make remark. II
this is encouraged, you go on; II
not, you stop.
According 10 best taste II is
always bad form to mention names
your own, or that of your
friends-to strangers. But if 9TH
ers introduce themselves to you,
you cannot very well refuse to
give your name as Mrs. or Miss
Whatever-it-is. When you leave
the table, you nod goodbye to
anyone who may be looking at
you. And at future meals you
say Good morning" or Good
evening"
II you are encouraged to talk
you do so. The fact that you have
never been introduced is Of no
Importance whatever. II you get
to know them at all well, they will
perhaps tell you something about
themselves and you tell them
about you. But not the entire his
tory of your private life! AS al
ready said, there are no rules to
fit all people. Some people are

He was a lonely man and she
suspected that while he pretended
not to be hurt at his sons desertion
he was secretly torn with anxiety.
He had been in his office all MORN

who was really the injured one.

to admit that he had been to blame

and pretty, blond Miss Margaret
Annabelle who lives in the apart

they had just returned from Olym-

sitting in the car with Tetherow.
Somehow, she touched the horn.
Her escort testified it was a hair
trigger horn and subject to sudden
blowing.
Then a rock crashed into the
glass.
Tetherow said he jumped out
of the car and said:
Il don't appreciate having peo-
pie throw rocks at my car"
"I'll throw worse than that, II

made her realize that all the KEYS
to this situation were In her own

to stop her as she continued.

to let anything come between you,
especially now when you've just
begun TO understand each other.
