MODERN ETIQUETTE
By ROBERTA LEE
Q. When it is impossible for a
man’s mother to pay the conven
tional visit upon her son’s new
fiancee, what kind of a letter
can she write?
A. “Dear Ruth: Jim has just
told us of his great happiness
which, of course, brings joy to
us. Our one regret is that we arc
so far away (or whatever it is
that prevents the visit) that we
cannot Immediately welcome you
in person. We do, however, send
you our love and good wishes.
Margaret Wilson.”
Q. Is it all right for a hostess
to serve two or three dishes at a
time, if she must do all the serv
ing alone?
A. Os course. Considerate
guests would not criticize her for
this, and of course she would not
be serving if the dinner were
formal.
Q. Is it all right for a man to
use only his initials when sign
ing social correspondence?

LAUGHING STOCK — Chuckling over their "lucky” find" are
Barbara Schreibler, 2, at left; her mother, Mrs. Lyle Schreibler;
and Susan, 3, of Cleveland, Ohio. The find, 3000 shares of worth
less railroad stock, is heaped in their laps. Their husband and
father, a 33-year-old machinist, found the stock certificates in a
vacant lot. A broker told him they were for a bankrupt company
and that the present railroad is run by a reorganized firm. ~ Susan
calls it “funny money.”
A. No; he should sign his full
name.
Q. Is it proper to guess at a
name if one has not heard it
distinctly during an introduc
tion?
A. No; it is much better to ask
and be correct. The proper thing
to say would be: “I’m very sorry,
but I did not hear your name
clearly,” or, “Did Mr. Johnson
call you Miss Ferris? I’m sorry,
but I did not hear very well.”
Q. How far in advance of the
wedding should gifts be sent to
the bride?
A. Usually two weeks or ten
days before the date of the wed
ding, so that the bride may have
time to acknowledge it.
Q. Who should be seated at the
right of the host, if there is no
woman guest of honor at a din
ner party?
A. Under these circumstances,
the eldest woman guest is seated
at the right of the host.
Q. What is the proper thing for
a woman to do when calling, if
she finds her hostess is prepar
' ing to go out?
A. She may say, “I see you are
ready to go out; I won’t keep
you.” However, if the hostess in
sists that she remain for awhile,
it is perfectly proper to do so.
Q. Is it oermissible to seat a
man and wife together at a din
ner party?
A. Not usually. It may be done
1 when the party is in honor of a
newly-married couple, then the
bride and bridegroom are seated
together.
Q. Is it correct to write a note
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS
wishing a girl happiness after re
ceiving an announcement of her
engagement?
A. Yes; a brief, but sincere,
note is in good taste.
Q. Is it obligatory that a wom
an keep her hat on when attend
ing a large card party?
A. This is optional; if she
wishes, she may remove it.
SOLVE-A-CRIME
By A. C. GORDON
You Are the Detective
You splash your way through
the rain and mud of the path
leading to the front door of the
country home of Wesley Carter.
Removing your rubbers at the
front door, you step into the
spotless hall and thence into a
large, luxuriously-furnished liv
ing room. After requesting that
the anxious-looking servants go
into the next room where you
will question them later, you go
to the far corner of the living'
room and bend over the dead
man lying on the floor, a bullet
wound in his right temple. A gun
lies near his outstretched hand.
Your attention is caught by a
pocket knife lying about three
feet from the body, and after ex
amining it carefully, you put it
into your coat pocket.
Then you proceed to the next
room and begin questioning the
butler who has already admitted
finding his dead employer.
“I was returning from town
about a half-hour ago. You see,
it was my afternoon off. As I
was coming up the path to the
front door, I heard the shot, ran
into the house, and found Mr. '
Carter lying there—dead!”
“Have you lost a pocket knife?”
you ask.
The butler feels in his pockets
and replies, “No. In fact, I never
carry one.”
“I heard the shot, too, of
course,” interjects the chauffeur.
I was in the kitchen and got into
the living room just after
Bayles.”
“Did either of you leave this
living room after phoning me?”
“No,” replies the chauffeur.
“We stayed there until you
came.”
“I can’t figure why Mr. Carter
should have wanted to kill him
self,” says the butler.
“You know very well he didn’t
kill himself!” you state firmly.
What clue have you discover
ed?

If the butler had run directly.

into the front hall, as he said,
there would have heen foot
tracks in the hall, as the front
path was muddy. But you found
the hall spotless. Also, if the
butler was never in the habit of
carrying a pocket knife, he would
not have had to feel in his
pockets before denying the loss
of one.
PARROT NEEDS PRIVACY
Toledo, Ohio—George L. Mc-
Kesson, industrialist, took his
recently - purchased Spanish
speaking parrot to his bedroom
on train from New York to To
ledo. The bird insisted on jab
bering away, instead of going to
sleep. Finally, deciding “it was
either the “bird of me,” Mr. Mc-
Kesson bought another ticket
and the parrot had its own bed
room for the rest of the trip.
ONE WAY TO DO IT
Wayne, Ark.—When Jake Wilt
shire wanted to modify his tele
vision antenna when Memphis
Station WMCT switched chan
nels, he just took down his shot
gun and shot the ends off the
antenna.
