BY EMILY POST

With almost each succeeding
year, one can note the change in
the attitude toward mourning eti-
quette In fact, the complete with
drawal from social life as is was
described In the original edition
of my own book Etiquette" Is
as out of key with life today as
was the. .chaperon of a still carrier
day. without whom no properly
brought up girl of Is walked alone
in the street of New York! This
in part answers a question from
the president of a woman's club,
who asks If she should resign from
this office because she is in mourn
ing for her husband. Her letter
continues: IF it is not necessary
that / resign how soon can / pre-
side at meetings? l am referring
both to business meetings and pro-
gram meetings at which II is
often necessary for me to intro
duce speakers.
Further answer To this is that
mourning is allowed to affect one $
private life alone. and ones pub
lie or business life is continued as
usual. The president of a club
should be expected to continue
with all of her duties, except those
of purely social character. She
would not be expected to receive
at dance or be present at any
big social gathering but she could
with perfect propriety introduce
the speakers at an educational or
political meeting as well as that
of any war service.
Brides Clothes Are Simpler
Dear Mrs. Post: Have there been
any wartime changes in wedding
wells. and if SO. can you tell me
what is being worn Also. what
is being worn by bridesmaids and
maids of honor in the way of
/ headdreSs
Answer: The greatest change Is
that an increasing number of war
brides wear street clothes. Even
so. bridal dresses are of course
being worn about three quarters
/ of the time. but the dresses are
very simple in effect. shorter
trains. very little heavy satin and
very few lace wells. Many wells
are finger length. but just as
many reach the end of the train.
About the bridesmaids: Sometimes
they wear flowers. sometimes they
wear hats much the same as form
erly but, as already said, the
whole effect is simpler.

Announcements Must Have been

Dear Mrs. Post: Some days ago
We received a regulation formal
announcement of a marriage with
a card enclosed inviting us TO the
breakfast which was to take place
Immediately following the cere-
mony. The announcement came
about two weeks before the we'd
ding itself. When 1 spoke TO a
friend about the irregularity of
something like this she said she
understood that it was being done
today. II it is, why and with
what sensible reason ,
Answer: Something is wrong
somewhere. To announce the
marriage" at future date is im-
possible. An invitation to the we'd
ding reception is proper, of course.
Or the marriage might be an
nounced as having taken place and
the reception to be given at a
future time.

Mourning Is Reserved
For Private Life

Answer. If their interest in each

of him, and his mother or whoever
is the head of his family has
written her an Enthusiastically vel
coming letter of invitation, there
would be no improperly in her
going-especially 'now in war
time. If they travel on one OF
the modern all day-coach trains
they are of course in full view OF
a whole car full of chaperoning
