Am I supposed to pay for this, or is it the place of my fiance to pay the premium? A. The ring’s safekeeping is entirely dependent upon you, and you should pay the insurance costs. After you are married, your husband, of course, assumes this expense. Q. When a man is walking along the street with two women, does he walk between them? A. No; he should keep to the curb side, so as to avoid turning his back on one of the women while talking with the other. Q. Is it permissible to cut a croquette with the knife? A. No. The fork is used to break it. Then, with the tines up, use the fork to convey the food to the mouth.
