Emily Post

a housewarming but one Of the
guests brought us a present. I
thanked her and put the gift
aside. Since unwrapping it I've
telephoned and thanked her again.
My husband feels that I was
wrong not to open the gift and
show it around. I thought this
might embarrass the others. Any
way the present was for us, not
for them. What is your opinion?
Answer: I agree with your hus-
band that it was very unkind not
to seem to care enough about the
present to look at it. There was no
reason why anybody else should
have been distressed because he
brought nothing.
