There's Good Reason
for Visiting Cards
P\ EAR Mrs. Post: Visiting card
formalities are something I
never will understand. I've mo?ed
into a strange community and
neighbors and friends of friends are
calling and leaving their cards. Why
do the; leave cards when I'm in
and receive them? I can under
stand why they would leave cards
in my absence but not otherwise.
Answer: It is really essential that
they leave cards so that you will
know their full names and the spell
ing and possibly their house ad
dresses. After all. you would have
to have better than average hear
ing, not to say anything of memory,
to remember the names announced
to you. And later when you look
for Mrs. Jimson in the telephone
book, you may have no? way of
knowing whether she is Mrs Alex
ander ? or Mrs. John ? or Mrs.
George Excepting on this first oc
casion, visitors are not apt to send
in their cards unless they find you
out.

Wedding Announcement
Need Not Name Town
n EAR Mrs. Post: On wedding an
nouncements may I omit the
name of the town in which we were
married? Or if there must be some
town mentioned may I use the name
of my home town instead? We were
married out of the state and I don't
care especially to use the name o t
the town if it is possible to omit it.
Answer: The best way to over
come this is to leave a space be
tween the line giving the year of
the marriage and the name of the
town. In other words, actually the
announcement ends with the date.
Adding the name of the town merely
gives the people to whom the an
nouncements are sent your parents'
address.

The W eddinp Breakfast
EAR Mrs. Post: Will you sug
gest a good menu for a ten
o'clock wedding breakfast? There
will be only about two dozen guests.
Answer: At that hour I would
make it really a breakfast. Some
thing such as melon and chicken
mince with hashed cream potatoes
or scrambled eggs and sausage, but
tered hot breads, breakfast coffee
(meaning coffee in big cups with
sugar and cream), and I think that
is enough. Wedding cake and either
champagne or fruit cup or whatever
you are going to use to drink the
bride's health are of course part of
every wedding collation.

Mo "Tails" on Sunday
EAR Mrs. Post: Will you kindly
settle a question in dressing for
us? I have always understood that
"tails" for men are absolutely cor
rect at any time after dark, no
matter what the day. We have Just
been told that this does not include
Sunday.
Answer: The reason that "tails"
are never seen on Sunday evening
is that balls and dinners of cere
mony, which alone require them,
are never given on Sunday.

\\/ HEN someone says "How do
* * you do" Is It correct to say "I
am fine, thank you" or is "Haw do
you do" to be taken only as a greet

Answer: "How do you do" is a
punctilious greeting to which the
customary response is also "How do
you do."
