A widow writes me: I'm past
10 regardless of the fact that
am spry and everyone insists
that I appear much younger. !
tell you this only because it may
have some bearing on the situa-
ton. I know'a young Gin my eyes,
widoWer in his late 40s who has
been very kind to me. He is a
dear friend of other friends of
mine. He is, driving to the Coast
and I'd like to go and there is no
third person for us to ask to ac-
company us. Considering all these
circumstances could any one pos
sibly talk" about us. I would not
want that for the sake Of my chill
dren and grandchildren.
I cannot possibly imagine that
any one would talk about you un-
less your behavior was unthink-
ably lacking in dignity.
Do as They Do
Dear Mrs. Post: It would never
have occurred to me to telephone
: a day or so later to thank host
ess again for an enjoyable eve
ming spent at her house. Not even
for dinner would do this. But in
this new community find that
people do so. Now that I live here
should I do as they do, or per-
haps be thought impolite?
Answer: 1t is always best to do
as they do.
Why Not Blue Block?
Dear Mrs. Post: My new station
cry is almost the blue of the ink
I customarily use. I think it is
very difficult to read this COM
bination. But what other ink
could I use? There Is a very fine
white and darker blue border on
the paper. but believe that white
or any colored ink Is not in good
taste. I am sure that black would
not look well either.
Answer: Use blue-black ink
mix blue and blacksof same make
to get the most effective color.
Brown Not Formal
Dear Mrs. Post: Is dark blue
suit a must for the bridegroom
when he is wearing everyday
clothes? Would it be possible for
him to wear a brown suit instead?
This particular bridegroom has
little use for dark blue but could
later on use a new brown suit.
Answer: Story, but for every one
who cares about correctness,
brown would be unthinkable.
