Emily Post

This question puzzles many who
come up against it: I'VE are
spending the week end with people
of considerable means. They are
not in our circle of friends and
therefore I don't think there is
anything we ever can do IN re-
turn. I don't even know whether
1t would be proper for us to take
them a box of good candy or some
gadget for the house, as we would
do were we going to stay with
some of our own personal friends.
Please help"
The impersonality which your
letter implies would certainly not
suggest taking a present.
Silent Groce
Dear Mrs. Post: When out In
a public restaurant. is it wrong
for one to bow ones head in
silent grace? I have friend who
says it would be too conspicuous
and therefore not in good taste.
Answer: can't understand how
bowling your head in asking a ST.
lent blessing need be conspicuous
or out of place anywhere.
Napkins to Match
Dear Mrs. Post: Would it be per-
Missile to lunch on peach-col-
ored damask at a party and use
white napkins? I have none to
match this cloth, but plenty OF
white one in the same material.
Answer: Since you have plenty
of white ones you might con-
slider having some of them dyed
to match your cloth. as the white
napkins would detract from the
beauty of your peach cloth.
