En1iIy Post on Etiquette

against which to push the food.
But you must not use the knife
to push the food up on the fork.
CoIored NoiIs With Mourning
Dear Mrs. Post: I would like to
know if it is in good taste for
those in mourning to use red nail
polish.
Answer: Vermilion or crimson
would not be in best taste, but
either diluted to softer tint is
entirely proper.
Should table linen be mono
grammed, and If so, aDhere
should it be placed? This and
many other ideas on the types
of linen for DGriouS occasions
are giuen in Mrs. Posts leGtlet
E-32. "TGble Linens" To obtain
a copy, send 10 cents in coin to
her, care OF The EDening Star.

Unhappily, the following ques-
ton is not rare: Doesn't it make
q difference whether the man
breaks the engagement or whether
it is broken by the girl as to
she is obliged to return
his ring or not? If he breaks it
at a distance and writes no ex-
PLANTATION, why should she give it
back to him for her successor? ;?
She still loves him and is very un-
happy that the engagement has
come to an end"
I agree that there is some JUS
tice in your idea, but according
to best manners his ring is re-
turned. AS a matter of fact. she
would have to be very mercenary
to want to keep a ring so deeply
associated with one who caused
her unhappiness.
Clothes Of Ring Beorer
Dear Mrs. Post: My five-year-
old son has been asked to ,serve
as ring bearer at wedding. It
is to be a morning wedding and
the men in the wedding party
will wear cutaway coats and
striped trousers. Will you please
tell me what my son should wear?
Some one told me that he should
be dressed the same as the
ushers. Will you please advise
me?
Answer: He would certainly not
be dressed like the ushers. The
ring bearer is usually dressed in
white. Or he would wear a blue
suit.
TobIe Manners Question
Dear Mrs. Post: The other night
our family had a friendly argu-
ment about whether or not it is
proper to push food on to ones
fork with a knife. AS there was
a difference Of opinion about this
we would like you please to tell
us what is proper.
Answer: You can make a barri-
cade, as it were, Of the knife
