Post

A bride-to-be asks this rather
typical question: I'm going to
marry a man who is 7 years
younger than I, although, as any
one would concur. he looks older
perhaps because I am small and
slim and he is very big, getting
bald and gray. He has never been
concerned about my age. although
I don't think either one Of us
would be happy to have the differ
ence emphasized so that some time
it might be looked up and used in
print. Must I be accurate on the
license?"
I wouldn't like to be made re-
sponsible for the accuracy of every
woman's statement entered on a
similar document! Whether you
may answer the question ambigu-,
ously by saying, Il am over 81, ,"
meaning the legal age, depends
upon the willingness of the clerk
to cooperate.
Second BridoI Showers
Dear Mrs. Post: Is it permissible
to have bridal showers for Sec
ond marriage? What about send
ing these people wedding presents
when they have pretty much.
everything for their house?
Answer: Because too many
showers really become an irnposi-
tion, second showers ought not to
be encouraged. Nevertheless. this
is not question of rule but of
the feelings of their friends.
Choirmon at q Dinner
Dear Mrs. Post: What is the
meaning of the chairman of a
dinner turning over the introduc-
ton of an honored guest to some
one else? Il thought it was the
chairman's duty to make all the
introductions both of speakers and
entertainment.
Answer: The chairman turns
over the introduction to one who
is notable person or who knows
the guest especially well and will
therefore make an interesting in
