Invite Newcomer As Frequently As You Care To Regardless Of Call, Says Arbiter By EMILY POST Author of "Etiquette, the Blue Book of Social Usage," "The Personality of a House," Hospitalities Dear Mrs. Post -A friend of mine wrote me that a friend of hers was now living in this city, and she would appreciate it if I would go to see her and something for her.

So I asked her to lunch with me, and have heard nothing of her in the several weeks since then. Am I supposed to do something more, or wait for her willingness to be friendly? I shall be glad to do whatever is allowed me because I really liked her very much, but I don't want to be over insistent. Answer -It is her place of course to pay her party call on you. But since many people are very lax in the matter of card leaving, there is no reason why you should not invite her again, or, in fact, as often as you care to and she seems glad to come. Dear Mrs.

Post -A group of us are planning a farewell dinner for our present employer, and want to present, a or gift $18. to him After for the not dinner more we would like some kind of pro- gram, but two pianists is the extent of the talent among us. Will you help us because we want this last party to be a happy remembrance rather than a series of bungling details? Answer -A pair of plain gold cuff links with his initials engraved on one side of each link, and the date of the dinner on the other, would be a lasting reminder of a pleasant association, and certain to be useful, no matter how many other pairs he may have. Insist that any speeches made be limited to very few minutes. Most people love to sing if words of popular songs are written in large letters on sheets of cardboard.

The chances are that the dinner will be much more friendly and gay if the pianists will consent to accompaniments, than if they play solos or duets that exact serious attention. Unless, of course, the pianists notable performers and the guests appreciatingly musical. Dear Mrs. Post: How much of the names "O'Donoghue and McIlvany" is used for monogramming silver and linen?
