Emily Post

A young woman writes: "Since
Mother only can give rules and
not reasons I'm counting on you
to tell me why she says it's
proper for me to go alone to New
York for . few days TO shop. and
stay in the hotel where my family
always stays. II promise not to
go out with any men while there?
What difference would it make to
anyone II I had dinner with a
friend or went to the theater in the
EVENING""
All such decisions must be left
for caring. thoughtful parents to
make. They know the personal
equations which would make it
possible to give permission or
withhold 1t. I hardly could rec
ommend that just any young girl
be permitted to come to New
York alone under these circum-
stances. Certainly, I would not
recommend her going out by her
self at night and I can't imagine
anything duller than sitting alone
in q hotel room. Therefore. if
your mother can't approve of your
meeting friend in the lobby of
your hotel and saying goodnight
to him there at an early hour. nv

skipped the ball, but the next day
one friend after another tele-
phoned him and allowed as how
he had been rushed off his feet.
Stu said he played golf that after
noon with a couple of the bellies
and won the easiest game of his
life but the losers said it was
worth it.
Ed Foley affirmed that it was
a much better party then when
the men do the cutting in, and
Senator Lodge was vehement. It
was a wonderful party, he said,
because the women ran it and
women have a sense of RESPONSE
bility. Women can do better than
men at everything they turn their
attention to, he added firmly, 1.-THE
trouble is that they don't turn
their attention to more things"
Whereupon yours truly asked with
a simple look. What haven't they
turned their attention tor" big
business and world affairs" was
the Senator's quick response.
Probably the most amusing din
ner given before the leap year
dance was the Bob Guggenheims.
At the elegantly served SQUAD
meal, the women were presented
with the cards showing whom
they should take into dinner.
Come smoking time, cigars were
passed to them and the good
sports. such as Mime. Bonnet,
Neville Barry and Chic Mac
Cracker, actually started smoking
the lengthy stogies amid con-
siderable hilarity. After dinner
the gentlemen repaired to the
drawing room while the ladies re-
NAMED behind for coffee. liqueur

boys admired their corsages while
they waited.
