Good Taste Today
BY EMILY POST

The question Of Just how far q
wife may consider IL proper 10 be
taken along by her husband. when
invitations have been given to him
alone. can be best answered by
him. Under ordinary circum-
stances 1t shouid be proper for q
wife to go with her husband any
where he himself thinks It right to
take her. Even though the for
malities may not always be strictly
according TO etiquette. ii might be
extremely bad business In some
situations should a wife refuse TO
60. For instance, the situation
suggested by this wife:
MY husband comes into con-
tact with many business men.
Now supposing he comes home
and says that John x wants us
to come over tonight. and neither
OF US have ever met Mrs. x, then
Is 1t right for me to go on such an
invitation ?"
To this. the only reason for
answering mo" would be lack OF
faith In the husbands judgment.
On the other hand, there are many
reasons for saying yes" The
most reassuring Of these Is that
Mr.. K would hardly run the risk
Of straining pleasant business re-
lations by inviting his business
friends and their wives to his
house IL he were not perfectly
sure that his wife would be de-
lighted TO meet them and to make
them welcome.
Asking Some One 10 Exchange
A Wedding Present
Dear Mrs. Post: We've been
married for some months and yes
terday received a wedding present
from my cousin who lives In
distant city. His present makes
the eighth silver tray. As my
cousin owns q large department
store. from which his tray was
evidently sent and as the silver Is
not initiated, 1t seems to me that
he left off the marking 30 that 1t
could be exchanged. want to
write to explain the duplication,
taking 1t for granted that he
would want me to ask him to let
us exchange 1t. My wife thinks
this would be wrong.
Answer: First OF all, your wife
should of course write at once, II
she has not already done so, thank
ing your cousin for his beautiful
present. and for his generosity-or
whatever else is true. She should
not tell him that it's just what you
both wanted and how useful 1t will
be. II he is very astute, he may
guess from these commissions that
Il is not going to be useful, and
write to you. II he doesn't. you
ian surely tell him something like
his:
Dear Cousin John, since your
present was not marked,
feel sure that you want me to
ell you that the situation-which
Nary hadn't wanted to tell YOU
3 this: We have received seven
,ther trays. tExplain about the
others II you can; |. e., two of |
hem have been in Mary's family |
Ior years and the other five were
marked and couldn't be returned.)
Since we do want to be able to use
he present you give us, won't you
,hoose something for us that we
10 need In exchange for this? We
rave no pepper pots, no dessert
ooons, and no platters! l hope you
will understand that 1t Is because
We want to make daily use of
what you give US that I am being
70 frank"

Creamy Soap
Ideal Cleanser

Light cleansing creams, night
creams which will do their work
in 20 minutes or half an hour,
greaseless hand lotions and foun-
dalton preparations are what in
terest the beauty-minded at this
time of year.
Light, cooling, summer creams
and lotions replace the heavier
varieties that we found so neces-
sary during winter weather.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1940-05-21
USE CREAM THAT
MELTS EASILY

Search for a cleansing cream
which liquifies and becomes a thin
oil almost as soon as 1t touches
your warm skin. Lay in a supply
OF bland complexion cream that
contains plenty OF lanolin. You'll
be washing your face and neck
several times day for the next
four or five months.
A good many women are inter-
ested in a new, creamy, ultra-mild
soap which comes in a tube and
is sold with a complexion brush.
1t is suitable for all types OF skin.
Of course. On very oily skin, 1t
may be used as a mask as well as
a cleanser. Here are directions for
the recommended creamy soap
treatment for an oily complexion:
Put a small amount of cream
soap on the complexion brush and
gently scrub face and throat.
Rinse several times. While the
skin still is wet, spread a thin
layer Of the cream soap over the
face and leave on for four or five
minutes, as you would a regular
mask. Then rinse again. COM
pletely removing every trace OF
the soap mask.
