A reader has a new angle to an
old controversy: I'm our locality
we always seated husbands ano
their own wives together at din
ners. Then we learned from your
column why it was not correct. sc
we changed. At a semipublie
dinner, when people are to be
seated at tables for eight and ten
should the husbands and wives be
seated at different tables or just
separated at the same table,"
It usually is better to seat them
at the same table, or at least al
tables next to each other. This is
because at a very large public
dinner it might not be easy fol-
them to find each other at the
end of dinner.
For Sentiments Soke
Dear Mrs. Post: AS one of the
brides attendants, am I supposed
to answer the formal invitation
sent me?
Answer: Certainly not! Yours

was supposed that you would like

Dinner-Donce vs..
Dinner and Donce
Dear Mrs. Post What is the
difference between a dinner dance
and a dinner and dance?
Answer: The first means that
the tables are placed around the
room and that people get up and
dance between courses as well as
afterward. A dinner and dance
means dinner first and dancing
afterward, either in the same
room after the tables are cleared
away or somewhere else.

The Caps will play New York

Is no real reason for it. 1t Just

The Caps and Knicks have been

Knicks Are Sturdy.
But that two-game regular

beat the Knicks in four of six
games. Washington lost only II
games out of so that year. Since.

Williams Strategy Upheld.
Should any football coach in
America like to have his mail in
crease about 200 per cent, all he
has to do is have his quarterback
call a pass on fourth down, deep
in his own territory and with his
team trailing, in the early stages
of an important game.
Following Bob Williams call, as
described, in our game with North
Carolina, our Office has been del
uged with queries as to the sound
ness of this selection. A complete
analysis of the situation causes US
to hit upon what we think to be
the main reason for Notre Danes
enjoying such a successful season
to date.
Two important determinations
in such a plan are the fact that
Bob Williams has implicit faith in
his teammates and the other ten
members Of our starting team are
convinced that their quarterback
is the best in football and they feel
that when he calls play 1t def
initely is the best and they must
do all in their power to carry out
their assignments.
Even more important is the fact
that the Baltimore lad has COM
