Wedding Rehearsal
Question--Is IL really bad
luck for the bride-to-be to
take part in her own wedding
rehearsal?
Answer-This Is an old
superstition that has come
down through the years and
many brides abide BY II
faithfully. Isn't this rather
ridiculous when you look at
1t from the common sense
standpoint? After all no one
in the bridal party needs to
rehearse more than the
bride-to-he for she win be
the cynosure Of ell eyes. The
sensible bride win disregard
this old belief and take part
in the wedding rehearsal so
that she viii be completely

arrives.

Unanswered questions are
piling up on my desk again
so 1t would seem that a look
into the question box is
indicated.
Question--So many Of the
old forms have either changed
completely or have been
modified. the question arises
as to whether or not the
length Of time one should
wait for q tardy guest at Q
luncheon or dinner has been
altered.
Answer--After attending
several dinners recently
where guests we're kept watt
ing more than haif-an-
hour for the late arrival.
I don't wonder at this
question. In my opinion 1t is
an extreme rudeness for q
hostess to keep her guests
waiting for more than fifteen
minutes. Too many people
cultivate the objectionable
habit. of arriving late. While
IL Is sometimes unavoidable.
usually 1t is pure thought
lessness. BY all means walt
fifteen minutes and no
longer.
QuestiOn-How does q
woman introduce her hus-
band? Is Jack Smith" COR
rect or should 1t be Mr..
Smith,"
Answer-Neither is correct.
When introducing ones hus-
band, the use Of the name
is superfiuous. Simply use
the words, My husband"
That Is all that is necessary.
Admission Cards
QuestiOn--Is 1t considered
improper to include q card
Of admission when sending
out invitations for q large
dance In q hotel in order to
prevent the so-called gate

Answer - Unfortunately II
10 becoming more and more
q necessity that this be done.
The colossal nerve displayed
by some people when they
barge In on q party to which
they have not been invited
Is an objectionable breach
Of good manners. Some steps
have to be taken to control
these pests tthere Is no other
word that describes them.
Enclosing q small card with
the invitation which Il 70 be

A comparison Of all parts of
the Potomac's main stem in the
period of a single day was made
possible yesterday by flight in
an Army helicopter from Fort
Belvoir, Va. all the way to the
mountainous headwaters in
GLIDING Savage River Dam.
Dam Sites Studied
The flight was aimed pri-
marily to give the Washington
Army Engineer District a BIRDS
eye view of potential dam sites
and to record them photo
graphically. 1t was part of the
engineers current comprehen-
sive survey Of Potomac basin
water resources.
But, while dam sites were the
chief concern. the engineer
team and accompanying news
men were struck most by the
generally murky aspect of the
main Potomac. About the only
consoling conclusion was the
fact that the waters still are
clean in the highest parts of the
mountains and in that stretch
of the Potomac Immediately up
