Good Taste TodayBy EMILY POST

"ETIQUETTE," "THE BLUEBOOK OF SOCIAL USAGE," Etc

CONVENTION PRESCRIBES

T""\EAR Mrs. Post: Is It proper togive a pharmacist the title of

"Doctor" or not? I am about tohave wedding announcements en-graved and am wavering between"Mister" and "Doctor" because Idon't know.

Answer: This is really a ques-tion of personal opinion, but besttaste usually confines such use ofthe 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 fromour family and I must have a smallhouse wedding because of the ex-penses. Please tell me how to planan Informal marriage service andstill not have things any old way?

Answer: You can't have an In-formal marriage service, because itis a church ceremony. The wordsceremonial and formal mean thesame thing. You can of coursehave a simple wedding. Arrange abackground of- flowers or treebranches, or still more simply,stand in front of drawn curtains.The service is of course the same

for every marriage: the clergymanenters first, the groom and best manfollow him, your maid of honorthen enters alone, and you withyour father follow her. After theceremony you and your husbandturn and face the guests who oneby one offer you their good wishes.Serve wedding cake and a fruitpunch. If this seems to you notenough, add sandwiches and eithertea or coffee or bouillon. This isreally plenty.

? ? ?

Dear Mrs. Post: Very often Ihave a family in to dinner, of whichone member Is left-handed. My hus-band suggested that next time theyare expected I set one place at tablewith the knives and spoons on theleft side of the plate and the forkson the right. Is this ever done?

Answer: Not that I know of.Lefthanded people must naturallyaccustom themselves to conven-tional table setting. So much sothat it is questionable whether up-setting the regularity of your tablewould even add to the comfort ofthose who In picking up Implements

have become accustomed to crosstheir hands over their plates.

MISCELLANEOUS

DEAR Mrs. Post: I like tintednail polish and my husband

doesn't. He argues that such pol-ish is decidedly opposed to goodtaste. We have gradually gotten

Into an argument about this, whichIs becoming irritating out of allproportion to its trifling subject,and we have decided to ask youto decide whether tinted nails areanything for a husband to growrabid about?

Answer: Since the supposition ofa 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 begenuine, I would say that nails care-fully manicured and slightly tintedare certainly in good taste. Butgilded or silvered or deeply col-ored ones are something else again.In fact, those deepest red ones,

which look as though the nail hadbeen torn off and the finger endsleft bleeding, are revolting to all ex-cept the few who have become In-ured to the shock of them. As amatter of fact, I doubt very muchif a man can be found who does'not hate them.

? ? ?

Dear Mrs. Post: The other eve-ning my employer Invited me to gohome te supper with him and hisfamily, so that afterwards we couldfinish some work. His wife andyoung daughter were extremelypleasant and hospitable, but neverasked me to remove my hat. Iwent to the table with it on andworked for several hours after themeal in the same discomfort. IsIt necessary to wait until the host-ess says something?

Answer: Your employer's wifemight perhaps have asked you ifyou would like to take off your hat.But I Imagine that she thought youpreferred to keep It on, since youdid not take It off before going intothe dining room. Whenever you goto anyone's house for an eveningmeal and are wearing a day dressand hat, you take off the hat only

if you want to. Asking anyone totake off hat or gloves Is rarely ifever heard in the present day. Ahostess sometimes says to a friendwho continues to sit in a heavycoat, "Don't you want to take yourcoat off?" This Is not a phase ofhospitality so much as an exclama-tion mnde because she feels thather guest Is absent-mindedly un-aware of her own discomfort.
