brother in the family home.
am the oldest one in the family
and married. Which Of the two
brothers should send her wedding
invitation and give her away at
the wedding?"
Although the older one is the
normal person to choose. the cir
cumstances that she and the
younger brother have been living
together would certainly obviate
any disparagement to the older
and make it natural to choose the
younger. The fact that they live
in the old homestead emphasizes
this choice.
Wearing Gloves and Hot
Dear Mrs. Post: My friend in
sists when a girl wears gloves she
should wear a hat. II he is right
then a lot Of women are certainly
dressing incorrectly these days.
I'd like your opinion.
Answer: You wear gloves on all
formal occasions, especially in the
evening when you don't wear
hat! The hat has nothing to do
with it, it is the occasion that de-
cides the wearing of gloves.
Family Giving Shower
Dear Mrs. Post: Do the same
rules apply about a member Of
the family not giving a shower
when it is for a new baby rather
than a bride?
Answer: Meaning immediate
family"-yes. A cousin or aunt
is quite all right.
Golden Anniversary Gifts
Dear Mrs. Post: 1t seems sense
less to give wedding anniversary
gifts for fiftieth year. My par
ents have everything they need

II suggest anything else for them
to the friends and relatives being
invited to a celebration in honor
of this occasion?
Answer: If they ask you, yes.
There are plenty of gifts you can

object of utility.

Modern MARRIAGE
Engaged Girl Advised to Make
Friends With Future In-Lows Now
BY Dr.. Paul Popenoe

If Della can help it, she's not
going to have any in-law troubles.
I'm to be married in the fall, -
she writes, land 1 can already see
trouble ahead with Eds mother.
She's very sweet to me, but spends
a little too much time telling me
how well she has reared him and
how much better a mother under
stands her own son than any one
. else ever could.
II don't want to have any
trouble, DR.. Popenoe, and I don't
want to create any trouble for Ed.
Id like to make his mother happy,
if I can. But I don't know just
how to go at this job and I have
no mother of my own in whom
can confide. How shall I handle
this situation?"
A Cornell University home
economist, Peggy S. Marcus, has
been making a study of in-lawS.
Her suggestions may be helpful to
you. Della, and to many other
readers of both sexes. Mrs. Mar
Gus advises:
l. Make friends with your in
laws before you marry. Don't ex-
pect to step into niche of ready
made affection it isn't there.
You'll have to make it and strive
to win good will-don't demand it.
This is new situation for both
sides.

tives if you possibly can. Remem-
