GOOD TASTE
TODAY
~ EMILY POST

Similar 10 the often asked ques-
ton concerning the title Mrs. pre-
ceded by q woman's Christian
name. Is the following: For 20
years since my fathers death. my
mother hss written her name Mrs.
Mary Smith Lately we read in
your column that this vas not
socially correct. I'm going to BE
married soon and mother wonders
II after all these years she should
cal herself Mrs. John Smith" on
my wedding invitations. Some peo-
pie, she Is afraid, may not know
who is meant"
As I have often stated. lack OF
convention under ordinary circum-
stances becomes really important
on formal ones. Therefore, this Is
one occasion when the name Of
this brides mother should be en-
graved Mrs. John Smith" even
though she has heretofore paid no
attention to the tabu of Mrs.
Mary - and may perhaps never
pay attention 10 II in the future.
How Father and Daughter Should
Accept Wedding Invitation
Dear Mrs. Post: Ny father and
were invited to wedding. His
name was written on the outside
envelope alone, and mine written
underneath his on the second en-
velope. Shall we send just one
acknowledgment and please tell
me how to include our names at
the top Of the answer? That La.
should 1t begin Mr.. and Miss
Blank accept with pleasure etc. /"
or should my name come first, or
how?
Answer: Your fathers name
comes first, this way:
Mr.. Henry Blank
and
Miss Mary Blank
accept with pleasure
etc.
Removing Iced Tea Glasses
Dear RMS. Post: Should iced

sarily.

Joan answered the telephone.
Her voice was as clear as though
it came from the next room, and
she was very much excited when
she learned who was calling.
June said. Listen, Joan. are you
all alone? Has mother got back
yet from the theater?"
Joan said. NO. I expect her any
minute"
June said. rs she all right? Is
she perfectly all right? Does she
suspect anything ?"
Joan laughed. There wasn't any
doubt that the girl in New York
was having fun out Of her part OF

she suspects a thing. What could
she suspect? II I act queer. why,
Just act queer. But I've certainly
had one jolly time sidestepping

you realize, June Radzell. that you
didn't even tell me where you
worked

me ?" June asked in disrnay
NO, I didn't, but it was just
good luck that / didn't"

Well"

subject abruptly, I'm In a peck
of trouble. We've got to change
back places. Win you come here
or shall come there I can't stick
this situation out another day"
You've got to stick it out" Joan
said with determination. Don't
you dare tell me you're ducking
out of our agreement, June Rad
zell."
I've got to have you here" June
pleaded earnestly. Joan, every
thing is in a mess here. This Ham
ilton Burton that I'm = I mean
that you're supposed to be engaged
to-Joan, don't like him. I don't
think he's fair to our Dad. I think
he's a cheat, and I positively re-

positively refuse to let you"
From half across the continent
came Joan's chuckle. That's o. X.

to marry him anyway. Just tell
him to go, and so far as I'm con-
cerned, the sooner he starts the
better. But you haven't told me
anything about Andy. How -
Andy getting along?"
The girl in Chicago thought that
she detected anxiety in her sisters
voice. Her spirits fell, somehow, at
the thought. If her twin sister loved
Andy McGlone then a lot of the
sunshine would fade for June Rad
zell.
"Andy's all right" June said
slowly, but, Joan, please don't dis
miss this conversation so lightly.
You've got to help me. can't stay
here another day"
Then the girl in New York spoke
swiftly and with decision. Joan,
you've got to stay. I'll never for

cerned. Tell him he's a great big
bum, If you want to. Tell him I

Hears Attack
On New Deal

"The constitutional balance in our
Government has been warped and
the machinery Of the Government
has been put out Of gear" members
of the League Of Republican Women
were told yesterday by Nine. Canta-
cuzene, former league president, at
q meeting held at the Mayflower
Hotel.
"Most of us realize some of the
queer things that have thrown it
out Of gear" said Nine. Cantacuzene.
The New Deal, she added, had been
the first administration to consider
the Constitution "an inadequate
document"
Declaring that the inertia Of a
people willing to concede the power
to an overbearing Executive" was
responsible for a situation In which
the governmental liberties of the
American people were threatened.
Nine. Cantacuzene urged members
Of the league to treat their men,
bership seriously and help educate
and bring others into line before
the coming election.
The American people have been
afraid to face poverty" said Mime.
Cantacuzene, and have allowed the
New Deal autocratic powers rather
than lose an assurance of security.
Cases were cited by the speaker
of Americans who were afraid to
become members Of the league be-
cause of threats" that membership
would entail personal sacrifice.
Nine. Cantacuzene added that the
Supreme Court had been made an
"obedient group to the supreme
power" She declared that the press
and the propaganda of the country
were controlled, preventing the peo-
pie from realizing the gradual in
crease Of power Of the Chief Ex-
ecutive.
Several laws now pending before
Congress were cited as examples of
attempts to curtaill the liberties of
the American people. She men,
toned the opposition to Representa-
tive Dies as an illustrative condi-
ton.
1T seems to me perfectly amaz-
ing that the American people can
stay cool in the face of such a situa-
tion," declared Nine Cantacuzene.
Reminding her audience of the
strength of the Republican party
and expressing the hope that the
coming election will show that
sanity has returned to the Nation,
she concluded: I'VE should make it
our business to encourage love of
the institutions of our country and
see that authority does not grow
into autocracy."'
Mrs. E. E. Gam presided and
prior to Nine Cantacuzene's ad-
dress introduced as visitor at
the meeting Mrs. Payne Rather,
wife Of the Governor of Kansas.
