Emily Post

A previous answer in this
column brings me this question:
May I speak my mind this once
about your piece regarding the
woman who went to the motion
pictures with her husband, and
wrote you that she was upset be-
cause another woman refused tS
be courteous enough to move over
so she and her husband could sit
together. on the only evening in
the week they had to be together?
True, 1t sounded rather cruel Of
the woman to refuse them, but
your answer that her request was
proper and the one seated very
discourteous, leads me to tell you
another possible side to this sit
uation. I'm very short and go to
the movies early so I can pick
a seat behind a child or another
short person. It's impossible to
see, otherwise. If I were asked to
move over. I, too. would have to
refuse or go home. Does refusal
label me as a discourteous indi-
vidual?
The situation you describe Is
extremely reasonable and UNDER
standable. In your particular case.
had you explained, they could
certainly not have failed to UNDER
stand.
Boutonniere for Both Fothers
Dear Mrs. Post: When the
bridegroom wants to buy corsages
for his mother, the brides mother
and for the brides going away.
should he first ask them what
kind they prefer: Also, would it
be improper for the groom's
father to wear boutonniere like
the other men?
| He should, of course, ask what
they are wearing in order to
choose flowers becoming to their
clothes. 1t would be entirely
proper for the groom's father to
wear a similar boutonniere.
when does the bride thron
her bouquet? Who makes the
toast to the bride and groom?
Who pays the expenses? These
and many other questions are
