It was the 173rd anniversary for this country and was the third year of freedom for the Philippines.

Elizalde marked the event by in viting several hundred guests to a reception in his handsome Em bassy on Sheridan Circle. The Philippine Minister and Mrs. Emilio Abello received with the Ambassador, and as on similar occasions the rooms were stripped of much of their furnishings to make ample room for the large number of guests. Mrs. Abello wore a blue print with red flowers fashioned after the mode of her native islands. The several hundred guests in cluded officials of the State De partment, members of the cabinet, the Supreme Court and Congress and many colleagues of the host in the diplomatic corps. Numbers of the officials went on to the Monument grounds where a pro gram commemorating the free dom of the United States was given, closing with a display of fireworks.

Emily Post The custom described in the following letter is by no means new td me: “A cousin of ours, a most charming and socially prom inent person who came on a visit, has upset us very much by her astonishment at a custom in our community, which is the giving of the prizes won at a card party to the guest of honor. Now that she has pointed this out, several of us have decided to ask you whether or not she is correct. If she is we don't know how to go about changing a practice that is of long standing. Wouldn’t we be considered selfish by other peo ple if we all of a sudden begin keeping the prizes we win at these parties?” I agree with your visitor in find ing the practice that the winners be obliged to surrender prizes completely unfair, but I also know that it would be Very difficult for any one hostess to change an accepted custom. The only sug gestion that I can make when the prizes are intended for the guest of honor is to give them to her without going through the pre tense of playing for them. Of course there may be an angle to this local custom which I do not know about. But to me it is ex actly like expecting a champion tennis or golf player to default in favor of a visiting player. Removing Dishes Dear Mrs. Post: In removing the dishes from the table after the main course, which ones should be taken off first? Answer—Although there is no definite rule, it is most natural to take the big platter off first, then the vegetable dishes and then the indvidual plates. But if the individual plates happen to be unappetizingly messy these would be taken first. Belated Announcement Proper Dear Mrs. Post: I’ve been.wear ing an engagement ring for some months, but only my family and intimate friends know about my engagement. Will it be proper for my parents to announce it now? Of is it too late? Answer—A notice to the society editor of your newspaper would be correct. An announcement party may quite properly be given even though most of those pres ent already know the news. How to give the engagement announcement to the newspa pers is explained by Mrs. Post in leaflet E-l. To obtain a copy , send 5 cents in coin and a stamped, self-addressed enve lope to her, care of The Evening Star, P. O. Box 99, Station G,' New York 19, N. Y. Mrs. Post is sorry she cannot answer per sonal mail. MRS. HUDGINS. —Harris A Swing Photo.
