Emily Post Advises

This question comes from q
man: II would like to know
If it would be proper for me,
q married man, to give q pres
Int TO a young woman who is
not married. Here is the situ-
alton: One of the young women
with whom work has gone out
Of her way on many occasions to
do things for me. She is hav-
ing a birthday soon and ]
thought it would be nice to give
her a birthday present in ap-
probation Of her many kind
nesses. Could this possibly be
misconstrued?"
I don't see how your intention
could possibly be misconstrued
as long as the present Is not a
personal one. Anything for her
personal adornment would. Of
course, be very questionable.
Small Community Custom
Dear Mrs. Post: We are giving
a large dinner dance for my
daughter. She would like to
designate on the invitations who
is to come with whom so that
each one will have a partner
going into dinner. I have never
seen this done before and would
like to know If it would be
proper. and If so, how is II
worded?
Answer: In a fairly small
community in which I was once
visiting. there was a custom
which would solve your present
problem. At the bottom Of the
invitations to the man guests
the hostess wrote: "Will you
please bring Mary Smith" OF
Jane Jones" or whoever was to
sit next to him at dinner, and
on the girls invitations she
wrote: "Your partner will bt
John Green" or Henry Alden.
etc. Then it was up to the boy
to call the girl and say that he
would come for her at such q
time.

Dear Mrs. Post: Would the
fact that there are several
couples in the party alter the
improperly of three unmarried
girls and men going to a we'll
known winter resort hotel for 9

Answer: Three couple:
certainly would be better thar
