By EMILY POST

Dear Mrs. Post: Please tell me
how a young girl presents the
man she takes with her to long
line of patronesses at a Junior
League dance.
Answer: II those in the receiv-
ing line are shaking hands with
every one, then she follows the
others and as she shakes hands
with first patroness, she says,
May I present Mr.. Jones? ?" OF
course, if she knows this patroness
very well she says, How do you
do, Mrs. Smith. This is Henry
Jones'" Both she and the young
man simply shake hands with the
other patronesses unless she wants
to present him to one or two who
are her personal friends.
No Rule About The Church
Dear Mrs. Post: Does we'd
ding have to take place in the
brides church or is it simply the
brides privilege to choose the
church? We'd rather be married
in my fiance's church because it
is more conveniently located and
seats more people. But first, is
there a rule?
Answer: There is no rule against
being married in church other
than your own, but it is customary
to ask the clergyman of the church
you have chosen to invite your
own clergyman TO take part in the
service.

RECIPES

Vegetable soup is liked by nearly
everyone. It is topnotch when the
broth is slowly prepared at home
but an excellent substitute
can be made with bullion cubes.
This recipe can be adapted to
either broth and viii result in
first class vegetable soup.
Saute III cups bread crumbs in
butter until light brown. Set
aside. Then add to 4 cups soup
stock a cup each of cooked car
rots, string beans, sliced onions
and little celery. A few drops
stock flavoring adds pep, and of
course salt and pepper TO taste.
Bring all ingredients to boiling
point and serve in oven-proof
soup dishes. Cover top with fried
bread and sprinkle with grated
parmesan cheese slide under
the broiler long enough to heat
cheese and serve at once.
Potato soup that includes to-
matoes is another palate-warming
dish. Begin by lightly frying 2
cups of sliced onions in butter,
when tender add more butter and
simmer for an hour. Then include
cups canned tomatoes, 2 cups
sliced potatoes, teaspoons sugar,
teaspoon salt g. or more i.
paprika and cups boiling water.
Continue cooking slowly until po-
tatoes are very tender. Then put
through sieve. reheat, add addi-
tional seasonings and l cup evap-

A Business Situation
Dear Mrs. Post: On my vaca-
ton last summer I went to the
San Francisco Fair and a friend
of my employer who comes
through here from the Pacific
coast office of this company, had
his wife and daughter look. me up
and take me to the fair with them,
and also to their country place
for a weekend. was a stranger
to them and even he was out of
town, and they certainly were kind
to me. Now / understand from
other people in this office that this
man is expected here soon on bust
ness. I'm wondering what kind
of hospitality would be appropriate
for me TO extend to him after all
his family did for me. I'm a young
woman and live in a very simple
house with my parents.
Answer: II you think he would
enjoy a good home dinner with
your family, invite him by all
meansi In fact, don't see what
other kind of invitation you can
give him if this would be possible.
But you can, in any case, go out
of your way to tell him how won-
derful his family was to you, and
ask for news Of them.

Marguerite byers Says
Lips should play second fiddle!
The lefthand sketch is our i'm
preston of a much-publicized but
not too successful professional
beauty who is hiding compelling
beauty behind two bad mistakes.
Her first mistake is in making up
her mouth SO heavily. The eyes
should always dominate the face.
With her rather small eyes. she
needs special emphasis on eye
make-up--a discreet amount OF
mascara, and lots of eye shadow.
The second mistake is the bleach
ed hair. This always makes the
face look fuller and harder. The
late Jean Harlow's features seem
ed far more delicate when her
hair was red. Also, platinum hair
makes the average skin look dirty.
Watch for your type tomorrow.
