Minnie. The one whose only real
name was Betty had her wedding
invitations engraved Elizabeth.
The one whose name was Minnie

one of form. Apart from the inn

BY EMILY POST

Dear Mrs. Post: How can a
young man meet young woman
properly. IL there is absolutely no
one to introduce them? These two
young people see each other every
day, but only in passing in the
street outside of the office build
ing In which both work, and some
times in riding up and down on the
elevators.
Answer: He might perhaps smile
a little as he takes off his hat in
the elevator. While it is not nee
essary that a man take off his
hat in an office or other public
building, it is always a polite and
proper gesture. Perhaps this alone
may induce her to say Good
morning" to him. He can also
hurry ahead and hold the door of
the office building open for her.
She would have to say Thank
you" for that. He might-some
day---say Good morning" TO her.
And she return his greeting at
last, with a smile thrown in. But
If all these attempts on his part
fail, and she neither smiles nor
speaks nor even looks in his direc-
ton, then ne can only take it for
granted that the young woman
does not care to know him. And
that would be the end of that
Dear Mrs. Post: Ny niece does
not like her name. She insists
upon calling herself Betty Smith
instead of using her real name,
which is Mary Elizabeth Smith.
This hasn't mattered very much
up to now. but her wedding in
vitations and announcements have
to be engraved very soon, and we
are having quite time about the
proper name to be used on them.
Betty is absolutely cold at the
suggestion of Mary Elizabeth, and
