Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
Q. Is it really proper for a man
to offer his seat in a bus or other
public conveyance to a woman?
A. While there certainly is noth
ing “improper” about the offer, it
is no longer expected today in a
workaday world in which women
have invaded many of the previ
ous “rights of man.” Of course,
if the woman is elderly, carrying a
baby, or is a very good friend of
his, then the man most certainly
should be thoughtful enough to of
fer her a place to sit.
Q. Is it all right, when enter
taining dinner guests, to use a
folded napkin to brush the crumbs
off the table?
A. This is quite all right.
Q. Is it all right for a man to
accept a cigarette offered to him
by a girl?
A. This is quite all right.
Q. Is it proper to hold the fork
or spoon in the hand at the table
while engaged in a long conversa
tion?
A. It is better to lay the uten
sil down. If held in the hand,
one is likely to find oneself wav
ing it about and this definitely is
improper. Of course, if one is
going to say just “yes” or “I think
so,” he doesn’t have to lay his fork
or spoon down.
Q. When a man meets a girl
on the street and they stop to
chat for a few minutes, which
one should make the first move
to walk on?
A. The girl. The man should
keep chatting until she shows an
inclination to leave.
Q. Whose duty is it to see that
;he bride and bridegroom’s car is
~eady and waiting for them at the
vedding reception?
A. The best man should attend
to this.
Q. Who are the first of the con
gregation to leave the church
when the wedding ceremony is
over?
A. The ushers escort to the
door all the women who are in the
first pews—the bride’s mother, the
bridegroom’s mother, then the
other women in the first pews
on either side of the aisle.
Q. Is it necessary for a hostess
to provide new cards for use at a
bridge party?
A. It isn’t exactly necessary, but
the ones she does furnish should
be spotlessly clean, uncreased, and
easy to handle.
Q. What are the accepted forms
of the complimentary close for a
business letter?
A. Yours truly. Very truly yours.
Respectfully yours. Sincerely
yours. Faithfully yours .
