where and how she bought the dress,
or what time she had with her
hair, or what the new beauty op-
orator told her, or what most girls
think about learning to dance,
you'll not only have a conversation
on your hands but you'll have a
partner who thinks you're unusu-
ally intelligent and interesting be-
cause you talk about the things
that are important to her"
Now, let us explain why this ad-
vice We gave Elmer is sound. A
compliment made in this way
pleases a shy girl without embarras-
sing her. Instead of merely blush
ing and murmuring Thank you
thus stopping the conversation dead
in its tracks-she has something of
interest to talk about, which helps
her overcome her self-conscious-
ness. Never forget that she warts
to talk as much as you do, but her
shyness simply scares the ideas
right out of her head.
This type of compliment may
seem a bit too familiar for use with
a girl whom you've met only few
moments before But very few girls
have ever been offended by a sincere
statement of admiration, no mat
ter how brief the acquaintance on
which it is made.
The compliment alone. however,
isn't enough. 1t must have that
conversational hook" attached to
it.
There's one other very effective
ice-breaker which you certainly
should use, one which involves the
facial muscles rather than the vocal
cords. If you are enjoying yourself
and can greet your new partner
with a gay smile (feminine) or a
contagious grin masculine. he or
she will Immediately feel more at
ease.
In fact. we know of nothing else
which will defrost the atmosphere
as quickly as this. If you smile, it
natural for the other person to
smile, too. And that makes talk
ing a whole lot easier. Don't for
get that vital point when those
awe-inspiring silences threaten tc
sneak up on you.

of something else to say. 1t keeps
me so busy thinking that I get
out OF step or trip or do something
equally foolish"
Being we'll supplied with quota
tion marks at the moment, we are
going to repeat what we wrote to
Elmer. Girls can use these Sugges-
tionS as we'll as fellows, and they
can be applied to emergencies that
occur both on and off the dance
floor.
To quote ourselves:
I'VE suggest that you open your
next dance floor conversation by
paying your partner a compliment,
phrasing it in way that requires
an answer from her.
For example, That really is a
smooth-looking dress. I'll bet it's
new, isn't it?' Or I can see where
you spent the afternoon-in
beauty shop, having your hair done.
Now, don't tell me you did it your
self!' Or, after you've danced a few
steps, Tell me. did you go to a
dancing school or just pick it up?
I've been wondering if you can be-
come a better dancer by going to a
school,
Not one girl in hundred can
remain, quiet in the face Of OPEN
ing remarks such as these, provided
you make them sincerely and don't
let them sound rehearsed. You are
getting her to talk about herself,
her clothes or something connect

those are the subjects which are
always fascinating to everybody.

Single Woman
Herself
Uses Miss Before
The Name Except
To Her Friends
By Emily Post

I wish all letters could be an
swered as easily and as briefly as
one that asks how a young unmar-
ried woman should announce her
self, in person and on the tele-
phone.
She announces herself in person
and on the telephone both as Miss
Smith or Miss Mary Smith to all
strangers as well as to business
acquaintances. To any one she has
met socially-even though she may
know them slightly-she says, This
is Mary Smith" To friends she
says the same. or perhaps just
Mary" to those who know her
voice well.
Dear Mrs Post: Please at some
time express your opinion in regard
to boys and girls (and grown-ups,
too addressing their mothers and
| fathers by their first names. Do
you approve or disapprOVe?
Answer: To me the most beauti-
full words in the world are Mother"
and Father" Dor Mummy and
Dad or whatever equiyalents).
And | can't understand any ones
being willing to relinouish them and
( be called Mary and John-which
after all are names given them by
everyone else But this is entirely
a personal question to which there
is no objection if the parents them
selves don't mind.
Dear Mrs. Post: Is It showing
good or bad taste to wear formal
clothes on Sunday evening? We
/ and some friends have been visiting
New York, and we went to one of
the fashionable hotels on Sunday
evening. They remarked that it
was curious to see tail coats on
a Sunday and they spoke as though
they considered it bad form.
. Answer-Had you said formal day
clothes on Sunday evening I VIC Id
have said that they were Conr.d-
cred proper IN most communities.
Here in New York. dinner coats
/ tuxedo on Sundays are certainly
best form, and tail coats as rare
as they are in midsummer. The
reason for this is that very few
parties given on Sunday evening
are sufficiently formal. Men who
are dining out put on dinner coats.
1t may have been that the hotel
you went to is one of those patron
lied by some of the great num-
Der of foreigners now living here
These may very well have worn
"tails"-but I doubt very much that
they were representative New
