Should the waiter be near when the lady is so unfortunate as to drop her fork, he should not only pick it up, but take it away and bring her a clean one; if he is not near, then it is the gentleman's duty to restore it to her. My Dear Miss Brooks: have a question thai pat been both-ning both-ning me for a long time, and today) I read some of the questions you had answered and I thought you would be able , to answer mine for me. " How thould you take an introduction to a man? Should you offer your hand? And what should you say? Also if young man invites you home from a parly or church and the family are still up, should you say goodbye on the porch or invite him in? Hoping to have an answer , soon, I am, forever pour affectionate, CRACE, Logan. It would all depend on circumstances as to whether you should invite your friend in after the theater or party. If the hour is not late it would be perfectly proper" to ask him in while your family is still up. If the greater part of the evening has been spent at a dance or entertainment, he would not, of course, accept an invitation to go in. Young girls do not usually offer their hand upon receiving an introduction. A pleasant smile a slight bow, repeating repeat-ing his name, is all that is necessary. . Dear Miss Brooks: i nave auicn cut nair ana wouia like to know which is the most injurious injur-ious to the hair wire curlers or curling irons. Would you also tell me a good method for peeping the curl inmy hair during damp Weather? INQUIRER. Idaho. A curling iron is more injurious to use on your hair than any other method ; of curling it 'lliere are curlers on I the market now that are made of some sort of fabric, which are excellent for doing the hair up on. However, if you do not care to get these, a good substitute sub-stitute is to use either strips of cloth, or,v better still, tissue paper, and roll the hair under on these strips. To keep the hair in curl, about the only thing to do is to secure a good curling fluid. Both this fluid and the curlers above mentioned may be had in the shops here if you are unable to secure them in your local shops. Should you wish to know where to send for them, "write me again and I will gladly give you this information. I hope this letter will be of help to you. Write again. Dear Miss Brooks: I am going to ask your opinion on a question which has been bothering me lately, ll is, "Should I dance?" All of the young people around here go to dances but mother does not want me to go because sha thinks they are not good places for young folks. I am a boy in high school and am allowed to go to the roller skating and other amusements. amuse-ments. I do not Want to go against the ivishes of my mother but I hold that a dance is only harmful if you make it so. Thank you. If it does not take up too much room, please let me tell how I admire "Alone" of Idaho Falls, who wrote to you last time. I say that without a doubt, although the other gins seem more popular, she, if she realized it, is the most respected. JUST A WONDERER of Idaho. I like your letter, Wonderer. It sounds to me like the letter of a very nice boy who wants to do right as nearly near-ly as he can. Of course, my dear, it depends a great deal upon what sort of JncJi these ire to which you le-fer, le-fer, but from the fact that you ask about it I infer that they must be public dances, which are often quite questionable question-able affairs, and places where a mother moth-er surely wouldn't wish her young daughter to go, and if they are not good for the daughter, neither are they good for the son. Or course one can conduct oneself decently anywhere, and one might even have a good influence in a questionable place; but I think personally that it does no one any good to appear in such places, though I have nominj? against dancing that is RIGHT dancing, which doesn't include in-clude the exaggerated jazzy kind which is so undeservedly popular at the present pres-ent time. Have a nice little talk with mother and tell her you have no desire to indulge in the latter kind, and that you intend to conduct yourself as she would wish you to. and I leel sure she will fall in line with your wishes.. Of course, while you are still in high school and busy with your studies, such things must be indulged in very moderately anyway. I hope this may help you and would like to hear how you come out. Dear Miss Brooks'. When a lady and gentleman are din'mit together at a cafe or hotel, and the lady should accidcnO.y drop her fork, is it proper that she, lite gentleman, gentle-man, or the waiter should pick it up? |
