Emily Post

A reader explains: MY sister
in-laW would like to know the
procedure to follow about return
ing the gifts she has received
engagement, shower and even
wedding-as she is not going to
be married after all. The invita-
tions were recalled and the we'd
ding called off for good"
She simply sends them back and
incloses a printed card saying:
Owing to the fact that the
wedding of
Miss Mary Jones
to
Mr.. John Black
will not take place. your kind
gift is herewith returned.
Kindness to Nurse
Dear Mrs. Post: When I was
ia patient in the hospital not
long ago, l had a, very nice nurse,
who was on my case for the first
week. She then went on another
case but always managed to come
into my room to see me every
day. I become very fond of her.
Would it be out of place for me
to invite her to dinner on one
of her days off? We don't live
too far from the hospital to make
this fea Sihle and from, what Sha
said I gather she lives with
another nurse, alone. She met
my husband and young daughter
at the hospital.
Answer: I'm puzzled by your
phrase "out Of place" Certainly
invite her. can't imagine why
not!
Tips
Dear Mrs. Post: Why is not 10
per cent of restaurant check
sufficient? You suggest that it
should be nearer IL or IS per
cent because everything has gone
up. But I would like to know why
10 per scent is not higher than
originally because the prices of
meals is so high these days.
The only explanation is that
every angle of expenditure has
gone up. Although I can't say
that I think it is fair, 1t is now
expected.
