life, to leave cards once a year
upon the following officials and
their wives: The President, the
Vice President, the Chief JUS
tice. the Speaker, Associate
Justices Of the Supreme Court
and members of the Cabinet.
1t is up to the individual
whether or not cards be left

The leaving of cards for
those not in official life is en-
tirely up to the individual.
Should he wish to pay his re-
spects to those ranking high
in our Government, it is per-
fectly proper that he do so.
1t is to be remembered that
when calling, a woman leaves
one card for each lady in the
house; never, under any cir
cumstances, does she leave her
card upon a man. For eX-
ample: if calling at the White

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
@. My brother is to be mar
ried to girl from out of town.
Her mother is the only mem
Der of her family who will be
able to attend as they live very
far away. The girl is a Gov
eminent worker here and can
not afford to go to her own
home to be married. so my
family is taking over here.
Neither the girl nor her
mother knows many of our
friends. I know it is correct
for the mother of the bride to
stand first in the receiving
line, but in this instance it will
be very awkward since she will
not know anyone. What would
you suggest?
Mrs. F. T. L.
A. While is is not absolutely
correct, I would strongly sug-
gest placing the mother Of the
bridegroom first in the receiv-
ing line and have the mother
of the bride stand next to her.
This will enable the mother of
the bridegroom to introduce
the friends Of the family to
her, and it is only common
sense that it be done this way.

MODERN
MANNERS
Calling Procedure in Capital
Has Changed, but Still Proper
By CAROLYN HAGNER SHAW

Now that the fall season is
in full swing, it's time to re-
fresh our memories on the
pros and cons of the calling
procedure now followed in
Washington.
While there are many who
scott at what they term "the
empty gesture" of leaving
cards, it is still considered
proper that it be done. Par
ticularly is this true when
calling upon an official. 1t is
showing a courteous respect
for the position he holds.
Due to the growth of our
Government and Washington's
ever-expahding population, it
has been necessary in recent
years to modify some of the
traditional rules governing
the paying of the courtesy
call. Common sense has had
to step in and new rules have
been adopted to fit the back
ground Of the Nations Capt.
tai today.
No Longer Observed
One old custom that has
faded from the scene is the
formal observance of the ira
ditional days at home" for
merly held by officials wives.
Time was when Monday was
the day to call upon the Chief
Justice of the United States
and the Associate Justices of
the Supreme Court; Tues
day. upon members of the
House of Representatives;
Wednesday was for Cabinet
hostesses and the Speaker of
the House of Representatives;
Thursday, the members of the
Senate: and Friday, the mem
bers of the Foreign Missions
in this country.
For instance, it was conSid-
cred incorrect, to leave cards
on a Cabinet official and his
wife on any day except
Wednesday. Perhaps they
might live next door to a Sem
ator, but good form dictated
that one must return again
on Thursday to make that call!
1t is easy to see why this pro-
cedure has been dropped.
Today, it is perfectly proper
to leave cards on any after
noon, upon any official, re-
gardless of the branch of the
Government he represents.
This also holds true when call
ing upon members Of the Dip
lomatic Corps. The calls should
be made between the hours of
3 and s.
This Is a Must
While. as say, the rigid
calling procedure of years past
is no longer observed. it is
still considered obligatory, par

Significant business gains
were made in Geauga County in
the past year as its residents,
enjoying relatively good incomes
and a high rate of employment,
expressed their strength in large
scale buying in the local retail
shops.
This is brought out in a copy
righted study of business in the
nations cities and counties, re-
leased in Sales Management'S
new buying power survey.
The high tempo Of activity in
Geauga County is seen in the
amount of retail business re-
corded 1t added up to a $23,-
025,0O0 year for the local mer-
chants.
WHAT WAS the direction of
the bigger spending? The extra
money available was used to
buy the things that make for
better standard of living. Peo-
pc equipped themselveS with
more OF the modern devices that
add to comfort and convenience
Electric refrigeratorS, washing
machines, better homes, fancier
cars and the many other items
that were once pure-luxury have
become mustS for more people.
The ability to spend more Is
made possible by better earn
ingS. The data shows that, de-
spite certain soft spots in the
local economy, the net dispos-
able income among families in
Geauga County came to $50 ,789, :
600 last year.
Divided by the number of To-
cal families, it amounted arith-
metically to $1,000 per family
compared with $6,053 in 1854.
This was more than most
families in the nation had after
taxes. The average was S., ,465.
.. THE IMPROVEMENT which
amounted to so percent was
better than was achieved gen.
orally. The gain was SO percent
for the United States.
