No; this Is merely an invitation to visit tdiese friends and see their n»-w borne. If, however, you are giving a “house-warming” in their honor, then, of course, you are expected to give a gift. Q. When \ you have been asked to paw a dish at the table, and you were just aixmt to partake <>t that di«n yourself, ts It all right to help' yourself first? A. No: this would be very crude and ill-bred, unless of course the I other person insists that you help yourself first. Q. In a girl ever permitted to ) ask a man to dance with her? A. Only if the man is Wr hqsband, brother,; orother in-law, cousin, or perhaps an old chjpj. Ikmxl friend.
