Buy Gift Only If You
Want to and Are Able
n EAR Mn. Post: Does u invi
1 tation to the wedding reception
or to the weddinj at the house al
ways necessitate sending a present
to the bride? I know it is a rale hut
I wondered just how hard and fast
it was. The question of buying pres
ents constantly is becoming a seri
ous handicap to our already rather
strained income. In some cases we
hardly know the bride and groom
and in others we don't know the
young people at all.
Answer: The giving of presents is
much more a matter of personal
feeling, and of your ability to buy
them, than of rule. Although it is
always rather expected that you
send a present when you accept an
invitation to the house, this is really
not an obligation to the extent of
preventing one who can not afford
to send a present, from going to the
wedding. On the other hand, if the
bride (or groom) is a personal
friend or their families are very
intimate friends you would certainly
try td send a present even though
her wedding was so small that you
could not be invited.

He Should Escort Girl
Home If Hour Is Late
n EAR Mrs. Post: How should a
girl answ&r a man when he
asks whether he might send her
home alone in a cab instead of go
ing home with her? This happened
to me when I spent the evening re
cently with a friend and his family
at their house.
Answer: I think~~"the only answer
you could make is, "Don't think of
coming." Of course, if the hour
were late, then someone should
have gone with you.

When Not to Tip
p\ EAR Mrs. Post: I have cone for
years to a very expensive hair
dressing establishment and have al
ways left a tip for those who take
care of me. In discussing the ques
tion with a friend, she believes that
their prices are exorbitant enough
so that no tip is necessary. To snb
stantiate her side of the argument
she gave me for examnle some of
the better restaurants in which no
tips are expected.
Answer: Unless the restaurant or
the hairdressers have signs plainly
explaining that no tipping is per
mitted. you would be expected to
tip at the usual rates. And unless
your total bill is very high your
percentage would, if anything, be
slightly higher than in similar
places having cheaper rates.

Us? of Monograms.
EAR Mrs. Post: What is the
proper arrangement of initials
in a monogram? I am thinking now
of the monogram that has a taller
initial in the center. Also, is a
monogram ever carried out on the
envelopes, and if not, may a return
address be put on the flans of en
velopes to be used with paper
marked with a monogram?
Answer: When the initial in the
center is larger it is always the ini
tial of the surname. It is proper,
if you like it. to have the address
stamped on the flap of the envelope
for paper marked with a mono
gram. although strictly speaking
formal notes are sent without any
return address. Paper marked with
a monogram is more formal than
paper stamped with an address but
of course you can use it for any
personal letters.

Women in Night Clubs
EAR Mrs. Post: I was much
interested in your article in
which you said that women should
not go to a night clnb unaccompa
nied by a man. Won't you please
tell me whether this also applies to
the early dinner hour? I sometimes
go to New York accompanied by
my mother, or other older woman
relative, and instead of having din
ner in a quiet restaurant we like
to go to one that has Broadway at
mosphere with music and show.
Answer: A young woman dining
no matter where and staying for
awhile with her mother or other
older woman relative is quite a dif
ferent situation from that of two
young women going late to a night
club without a man!

Use Logical Form
DEAR Mrs. Post: b there a
proper answer to make when
someone expresses thanks for ?
birthday card or other slight re
membrance? If I say, "I'm glad
you Uked it," then I feel that
I am assuming they liked the card
when all the person may have said
was "Thank yon." I always fad
the situation awkward and wonder
whether there is some snRable re
ply to he used at sneh times.
Answer: If they admire the card
or think it amusing, then you say,
"I'm glad you Tike it," and if they
merely thank you for having sent '
it then you say. "You're very wel
"ome."
