Emily Post
A young woman wonders what
this young man meant: “A dear
friend of mother’s who lives in a
nearby city in which I teach dur
ing the school months was driven
over to see us by her nephew.
When they left he said to me, ‘Do
you want my address? Sometime
if you call me I’ll come by to see
you.’ Was that proper?”
What he said was most un
usual. What he should have asked
was, ‘‘May I telephone you some
day and ask to come out to see
you?” •
Only One Reasonable Explanation
Dear Mrs. Post: We recently
celebrated our first wedding anni
versary and some of our friends
sent congratulatory cards and
wire? to my husband’s office in
stead of here to our house. Wasn’t
this wrong?
Answer: Although not correct,
it could hardly be called wrong.
The probable explanation Is that
they were not certain of your
home address.
Wedding Table Decorations
Dear Mrs. Post: What are the
proper table decorations for a
wedding breakfast? This will be
limited to the families and every
one seated at one large table. May
any color be used on this table
even when the bride is wearing
all white?
Answer: White should be the
only color. White flowers prob
ably. and of course there should
be a wedding cake with white
icing placed in front of the bride
and groom.
Mrs. Post is sorry she cannot
answer personal mail, but if your
question is what to serve for a
bridge party, a child's party or
sit-down wedding breakfast, you,
will find help in her leaflet E-,5,
“Menus for Every Occasion." To
obtain a copy, send 10 cents in
coin to her, do The Evening Star.
