EMILY POST SAYS: Dislikes to Have Father Perform Duties at Altar "I am planning to be married some time tnis winter, my par ents have been legally separated for five years. Because of our re ligion they cannot be divorced. I have been living with my mother and have seen my father but twice during that time. I am going to jhave a church wedding and I was wondering if it would be proper to have a close friend or an uncle (my father's brother) give me away. It would greatly upset my mother if I had my father participate in the cere' mony.

I think a great deal of my mother and do not want to spoil the day for her. However, my sisters think it would' be in very bad taste to have anyone but my father give me away. I would ap preciate your help in this matter. If you don't care to have your father give you rather than have a substitute for father which would certainly repudiate him you can walk alone and your mother can give you away from the front pew. To have any one but your mother do this would be very unkind and unfair to your father.

VERBAL. OR FORMAL? Dear Mrs. Post: My daughter is being married shortly at a rather large wedding. My husband would like to invite some of his business associates but wants to do this by word of mouth. He feels that if an engraved invitation is -sent them they will feel obliged to send a wedding' pres ent and that if he invites them verbally, they will feel no such obligation.

As all the other guests are being sent formal invitations, I say that they should be sent them too. Will you please give us your opinion? -Answer: I agree with you, but at the same time your husband surely knows them best and you should consider his opinion. "SOMETHING BLUE" Dear Mrs. Post: I am going to be married soon and would like to wear "something blue." However, I do not know what the cus tomary "something blue" is. Will you advise me on this matter? Answer: "Something blue" can be a ribbon tied on your underclothes or gartersr.

or it can be a blue stone in a pin. In fact, it can be any personal thing that can be worn without bemg no ticed. Mrs. Jack Kenney in Western Woods Mrs. William Pfeiffer and children of Sandusky, spent the week end in Muncie with Mrs.
