Heirloom
Wedding
Dress
May Be Altered
Without Defying
Tradition
By Emily Post
By Emily Post

Once in a while 1t is announced
because it is exceptional, THE bride
wore her mothers (or her grand
mother's) dress without alterations.
Sometimes the account of the we'd
ding says with very slight altera-
tions." A bride-to-be who writes me
today tells me that her mother
wants her to wear her wedding
dress. but for some unexplained rea-
son her mother insists that it be
worn as is. My correspondent says!
81 would be glad to have a dress
made of the material but the way
1t Is made it is most unbecoming
to me. I don't want to hurt moth
er's feelings, but she thinks, except
for refltting the side seams, a dress
that is an heirloom must not be
touched. Isn't it true that often a
bride changes an heirloom dress
drastically?"
On this question I can certainly
assure her that the occasion when
a dress fits as it is both in size
and in becomingness is very rare
And that so long as the material is
the original and as much of the
trimming left untouched as is prac-
tical, it may in truth be stated THE
bride wore her mothers dress"
Dear Mrs. Post: During the past
few years I have been so busy with
my small children that I haven't
kept up with things I would like
to know (frst) whether the bread
and butter plates and individual
butter knives are still used and
(seconO is 1t now proper to serve
salad on separate plates with the
main course If one chooses? If so
how are bread and butter plates
and salad plates all placed on the
left side? (ThirO Is it true that
the salad is just as often served
first?
Answer-O Individual bread and
butter plates and butter knives are
used on formal as well as informal
lunch tables, on all supper and
breakfast tables, and often on the
family, and even informal company
dinner tables CD If a hostess
chooses to break the rule of correct
service and serve salad on extra
plates with the meat and vegetable
course, the only direction is to place
them wherever seems most practical
to her. 1t seems to me it might be
easier to eat from a plate at the
right, since man or any one wear
ing long sleeves not tight at the
wrist would be likely to sweep the
edge Of the sleeve into the food on
the meat plate. However, so far as
a rule is concerned there is none
because C0nventionally (Which Is to
say, according to etiquette) salad Is
always served as a separate course
This may include game or squab or
chicken or cheese souff1es eaten on
the salad plate, which, in this in
stance, is only slightly warmed very
hot for wild duck). Some people
like separate cold sometimes
crescent-shaped salad plate placed
at the left of the hot plate for the
game or fowl. Although the sleeve
handicap exists, it is somewhat les
sened because this plate is smaller
than the dinner plate, and has COM
paratively little food on it. 90
Hors d'oeuvres, which are similar
to salads, are always served first,
but real salad course, never.

take it off in an office building ele-
vator if you don't care to.
And don't forget that hat-tip when
you are leaving a girl It's just as
important as the one with which
you greet her.
Dear Kay and Alden:
I have been dating rather regu-
larly with a girl who attends a
nearby college. She has invited me
to couple of her formal proms.
Would it be correct for me to ask
her to dances there; or does she
have the right to ask me, or not to
ask me, to parties at her school, as
she chooses?
There was one informal dance to
which I would have loved to take
her, but about which I knew moth
ing at the time. She asked no one
else to tin fact, she went to the
movies with me that night. I hope
you can clear this point up for me.

ing factor in this situation is whether
or not you can purchase a ticket
to such dance ION your own" or
whether you must get it under her
sponsorship. If you are not entitled
to attend such dances except as her
guest, then you could hardly take
the initiative by inviting her to
invite you to them.
However, you might let her know
tactfully that you'd very much like
to escort her to any available dances.
For instance, some night when you
are going to the movies you might
remark, Il feel like dancing tonight.
1 wish there were a good dance
coming up that I might take you to"
This would be perfectly natural
remark, yet it would certainly give
her the idea that you were open
to suggestions about forthcoming
dances at her college.
Dear Kay and Alden:
1 have two nice, good looking girl
friends and I can't decide which I
like the better. One of them has a
lovable family, and they don't mind
my seeing their daughter as often
as l please. But the other girls
parents seem to resent the dates I
have with her. know this shouldn't
have anything to do with the way
I feel, but it compHcates things.
FleaSe ADVISE. S. r.
Why not keep on dating both of
them until your mind makes itself
up? We see no reason why YOU
! should force yourself to make anv
decision now-unless you're contem-
plating marriage in the near future,
Naturally, you're going to feel a
little friendlier toward the girl
whose family is always pleasant to
you. But try not to hold the atti-
tude of the other girls parents
against her. 1t is probably distress
ing enough to her already, and she
shouldn't have to suffer further be-
cause of it.
And you can't always tell Some
times the girl whose parents are a
little more strict with her will turn
out to be the best bet in the long
run.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Spot COM
modify markets plodded through an
other irregular week with losses gen.
orally outweighing gains. The As
sociated Press weighted index of 35
spot wholesale commodity prices de-
clined to 92.13 from 92.58 the pre-
vious week, its third consecutive
setback
Rather heavy mill buying created
an active demand for some staples,
principally cotton and wheat. In
some other commodities such as
hides and sugar, however, bids at the
price ceiling failed to bring out
offerings and trading was inactive
Largest declines were recorded in
lumber hogs and corn. The list of
losers also included turpentine, eggs,
flour, cattle. lambs, oats and rye.
Cotton made the most notable ad-
vance of the week on the strength
of steady demand and poor crop re-
ports. Higher parity payments
helped to boost wheat. Other gain
ers were bituminous coal, lard, wool
and rayon.
Background of most commodity
markets continued uncertain as
price control discussions dragged
along in Washington.
