Emily
Post

A reader asks: What can I
answer to people who insist upon
asking every time they meet me.
What do you know?' Is this ques-
ton supposed to be taken literally,
or ignored, and simply returned
by a greeting?"
You might answer, Nothing!
What do you know?" A question
such as this one is supposed to
be very much the same as How
are you?" or Where have you
been all this time?" or any other
supposed lobe beginning to con-
verSation, to be answered or to
be evaded as you choose.
One Gift Sufficient
Dear Mrs. Post: Our son is to
be married shortly and my hus-
band and I intend to give a sub
stantial check (made payable to
both of them) for wedding pres
ent. In addition to this, should
we give the bride personal pres
ent?
Answer: If you have a piece Of
jewelry that you would like to
give to your sons wife, this would
be very generous. On the other
hand, the check to both would
be ample. Y
Opening Letter in Presence Of
Others
Dear Mrs. Post: Is it rude to
open a letter in front of another
person, if you ask to be excused
while you read it, of course?
Answer: You would read tele-
gram or q short urgent note
brought by hand-or special de-
livery letter. But a personal let
ter would be laid aside unless you
happen to be talking with a men,
Der of your family or an intimate
friend who would be interested
In its contents, in which case you
would read it, in order to share
any news Of interest.
