I am about to have wedding announcements en graved and am wavering between "Mister" and "Doctor" because I don't know. Answer: This is really a ques tion of personal opinion, but best taste usually confines such use of the title Dr. to a D. D. or an M. D. or a D. D. S. • • • • Dear Mrs. Post: The depres sion has not sufficiently lifted from our family and I must have a small house wedding because of the ex penses. Please tell me how to plan an Informal marriage service and still not have things any old way? Answer: You can't have an In formal marriage service, because it is a church ceremony. The words ceremonial and formal mean the same thing. You can of course have a simple wedding. Arrange a background of- flowers or tree branches, or still more simply, stand in front of drawn curtains. The service is of course the same for every marriage: the clergyman enters first, the groom and best man follow him, your maid of honor then enters alone, and you with your father follow her. After the ceremony you and your husband turn and face the guests who one by one offer you their good wishes. Serve wedding cake and a fruit punch. If this seems to you not enough, add sandwiches and either tea or coffee or bouillon. This is really plenty. • • • Dear Mrs. Post: Very often I have a family in to dinner, of which one member Is left-handed. My hus band suggested that next time they are expected I set one place at table with the knives and spoons on the left side of the plate and the forks on the right. Is this ever done? Answer: Not that I know of. Lefthanded people must naturally accustom themselves to conven tional table setting. So much so that it is questionable whether up setting the regularity of your table would even add to the comfort of those who In picking up Implements have become accustomed to cross their hands over their plates. MISCELLANEOUS DEAR Mrs. Post: I like tinted nail polish and my husband doesn't. He argues that such pol ish is decidedly opposed to good taste. We have gradually gotten Into an argument about this, which Is becoming irritating out of all proportion to its trifling subject, and we have decided to ask you to decide whether tinted nails are anything for a husband to grow rabid about? Answer: Since the supposition of a husband's growing rabid over nail polish Is not quite believable, I'm not quite sure whether this let ter Is intended to be answered seri ously or to be taken as a Jest. How ever, supposing the question to be genuine, I would say that nails care fully manicured and slightly tinted are certainly in good taste. But gilded or silvered or deeply col ored ones are something else again. In fact, those deepest red ones, which look as though the nail had been torn off and the finger ends left bleeding, are revolting to all ex cept the few who have become In ured to the shock of them. As a matter of fact, I doubt very much if a man can be found who does 'not hate them. • • • Dear Mrs. Post: The other eve ning my employer Invited me to go home te supper with him and his family, so that afterwards we could finish some work. His wife and young daughter were extremely pleasant and hospitable, but never asked me to remove my hat. I went to the table with it on and worked for several hours after the meal in the same discomfort. Is It necessary to wait until the host ess says something? Answer: Your employer's wife might perhaps have asked you if you would like to take off your hat. But I Imagine that she thought you preferred to keep It on, since you did not take It off before going into the dining room. Whenever you go to anyone's house for an evening meal and are wearing a day dress and hat, you take off the hat only if you want to. Asking anyone to take off hat or gloves Is rarely if ever heard in the present day. A hostess sometimes says to a friend who continues to sit in a heavy coat, "Don't you want to take your coat off?" This Is not a phase of hospitality so much as an exclama tion mnde because she feels that her guest Is absent-mindedly un aware of her own discomfort. © by Emily Post.—WNU Servtoe. Insurance Actuary's Duties An insurance actuary is one who figures rates, including mortality tables. From the American mortal ity table, the actuary makes up the rate to be charged the policyhold er for his Insurance, and compiles statistics on operating expenses, and the reserve required by law. From these figures, the rates of the Individual company are made.
