Questionable
Propriety
Of Gifts
Often Those Given
In appreciation
Are Criticised
By Emily Post

The fact that a clock is merely
an ornament for room and that
watch is piece of jewelry. makes
the first a perfectly proper present
for a man to give girl and the
second one of questionable propriety
under most circumstances. This is
! in answer to soldier on leave in
X-town who asks the following:
There is girl about whom I
care very much. Lately have come
home for a short while and we
have seen each other often. We are
now, as always, the best of friends,
but we are not in love and have no
idea OF marrying. Before I go over
seas I would like to buy this girl
a good watch, just in appreciation
of our fine friendship. Would such
a gift from man whom she will
never marry put the girl in the
wrong light with the gossips?"
Further than the comment already
made. much depends, of course, upon
the simplicity of the watch and the
| opinion that the gossips hold of both
man and girl. In other words, it
might be quite all right, but this
question can not be answered with
out further knowledge of the per-
sons concerned.
Dear Mrs. Post: How is it possible
to invite my parents who are divorced
to my wedding and yet not have
them both come? The situation
would be too tense to have both
present and yet, I don't wish to
hurt either; but of course if it came
right down to choosing one, I'd
rather it would be mother. (Both
are contributing to the wedding ex-
penses)
Answer-The rule governing this
situation is definite Just before the
time set for the wedding, your father
goes to wherever you live and drives
with you to church, goes up the
aisle with YOU and gives you away.
He then takes a seat several pews
behind your mother, who sits in the
front pew. If the reception is given
at your mothers house, and their
personal feelings will not permit his
presence in any part of her house,
1t would be customary to arrange to
meet him or have him meet you at
your station or the boatlanding to
receive his good wishes before leav-
ing on your wedding trip. Not to
have the brides father give her
away, or not to have her mother
present would be reputation Of them
by the daughter, quite apart from
any feelings Of father and mother
for each other.
Dear Mrs. Post: One sees so many
women and young girls smoking on
the streets these days. Is it consid-
cred permissible to do so now? A
few years ago it would have been
disgraceful and no lady would have
done it.
AnsWer-It is not disgraceful, but
neither is it in good taste or char
acteristic of lady-now.
Dear Mrs. Post: At an evening
wedding when half of the men in
the bridal party will be in uniform
what should the other half wear?
You have stated that plain every
day. suits are best for civilian when
some of the men are in uniform, but
what about an evening wedding?
Answer-If you live in a warm
climate and the men are wearing
white uniforms, then white dinner
coats (tuxedos) would be the obvi-
GUS choice. If the men are in blue
or khaki then blue sack suits. Eve
ming dress would be unsuitable
since dress uniforms are put away
for the duration.

On Your Toes

Women who have stepped into
mems jobs should wear shoes suit
able and comfortable for their new
work. For girls who have become
messengers, there is the 'posthaste, -
a shoe perforated across the entire
vamp to give the ventilation needed
for such active wear. For the
woman taxi and truck driver, the
shoe called "cabbie" made of a ma
terial heavier than suede, will keep
her feet warm in the coldest
weather. The harvester" is for the
girl who is working on the farm. It
is of ankle height to give extra sup
port and prevent briers from
scratching tender ankles. Then
there is the "f1xit" for the girl me-
chanics on the assembly line.

Autumn Weather
Makes Piquant
Sausage Good
Tart Apples Offer
Abbefising Tang
And Flavor
By Edith NJ. Barber

Now that the days are getting
cooler the businesswoman house
keeper is beginning to think of
sausage as the headliner for a quick
meal OF course, sausage never
goes entirely off the menu but
when there is a tang in the air
it seems an appropriate choice, With
its high flavor little goes a long
way.
If you cook link sausage in a
covered frying pan and over low
heat you will get slightly less shrink
age. OF course there is always
what seems to be a superfluous
amount of fat when sausage Is
cooked, whether in link or in cakes.
Good use can be made of this
fat at future date when you are
making hashed brown potatoes or
need fat for browning any type of
meat. I often make use of the fat
at the time when I am cooking the
sausage. Boiled rice, which is good
accompaniment. may be dressed
with some of this fat just before
1t is served. Part of it may be
used for cream gravy which is good
with rice or with griddle cakes or
waffles.
Fried apples are also very good
with sausage. Some of the fat may
be removed from the pan as the
sausage cooks and then the impaired
apple rings may be lightly Drowned
In it, or you may wait until after
the sausage is done to cook your
apples. Don't use too much fat,
however as in this case the apples
will not brown as nicely as other
wise.

Pardon my ignorance in the mat

eight candidates are to be nomin-
ated? And then when is the final
run-off made? Can a candidate,
once entered, withdraw?

I ask the above questions because
I have been following the elections
in the Bahamas, through my daily
papers from there. I once did con-
siderable writing during one Of
their campaigns and in a couple of
my books I wrote extensively on
their way of doing things. For in
stance, they had twenty-nine mem
bers to elect for the House of AS
sembly, comprising perhaps eight

Such a situation results in this:
The leading rich men file. They
choose their districts. They do not
have to live in the district. That's
the old English custom, you know.
And then along will come some pre-
sumed-to-be- clever-small- time-polit-
icians. They will proclaim themsel-
yes campaign managers Of So-and-
So. They will pick out ONE native
(colored person to you and y who
has some little following an who has
the ten pounds for filing fee. They
will make a big hurrah about elect
ing their own, etc, and then just a
day or two before the election is to
come off the native candidate will
i withdraw, leaving the rich white
man to be elected by acclaimation.

Of course, you know the native did
not lose his fifty pound fee, nor

If you do not think this is the
way they do, c. c. look through
some Of my recent Bahamas papers
and you will see that out of twenty
nine seats to fill twenty-five of
them were elected by acclamation.

earlier issues and you will note a
