Emily Post

Few questions are asked as
often as this one: How old do
you think young girl should be
before she is allowed to go out
alone with boys?"
This is an impossible question
to answer definitely because it
depends upon the town in which
she lives; the type of girl she is;
the type of each particular boy
she knows and where they are
planning to go. To a small town
neighborhood movie house, where
she knows practically everyone in
the theater. she could go in her
earliest teens. In a big city she
would have to be at least 16 and
even then be going with a boy
well known to her family.
Wedding Awoy From Home
Dear Mrs. Post: When a ma
jority of the brides and groom's s
friends live in one town, wouldn't t
it be more practical for the bride 5
family. who live in another town
to come here and give the we'd
ding and reception? If the we'd
ding is given in her family's home,
none of her best friends would be
able to travel the distance, and to
me, sending an invitation under
these circumstances actually
would suggest that they don't
really want to have any guests.

A Matter of Personal Choice
Dear Mrs. Post: A friend in
sists that a lace cloth should be
used over white or color and not
over the bare table. I prefer to
use it without anything under
meath and have my table heat
proofed. I think the pattern OF
the cloth shows more effectively
over the wood. Kindly tell me if
my preference is correct.
Answer: There is no rule about
this other than ones own pref
erence. Personally, I agree with
you that the table showing
through the lace cloth is much
prettier.

justified in turning over his entire
income to his wife and becoming
a pensioner upon her is the one
