O I Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE o _ _<> Q. How does a bridegroom select the ushers for his. wedding? A. The ushers are usually close , friends, brothers, or cousins of the groom, and often a brother of the bride is included. The ushers may be married or single,’~ahcl are usually of about the same age as the groom. Q. Is it all right for the “dummy” in a bridge game to leave his seat to watch his partner play the hand? A. Never. He can watch the progress of the hand just as well from his chair, and he will be exhibiting much better manners. Q. Is it proper for a weekend guest to ask the hostess for additional clothes hangers? A. Yes, but this should be done privately. Q- How can Ibe sure of observing the proper rules in conducting a formal club meeting? A. You can consult “Robert’s Rules of Order,” which is the standard text on parliamentary procedure. Other sources are the incorporation laws of your state, the laws of the parent organization <if your local group is chartered by it), and the constitution, bylaws, and standing rules of your own club. Q. Our widowed fa thesis marrying again. Are we, his children, obligated to give them gifts? A. Failure to do so would be extremely tactless. Either something for their home, or a personal gift, is appropriate. Q. Should a man who holds the title of “Instructor” in a university be addressed as “professor”? A— No; he should be called “Mister.” | Q. Is there any excuse at all for a girl’s appearing on the street or in public with her hair done up in pin curls? A. I think this is in very poor taste. If she absolutely must appear this way, she cantry concealing her lack of preparation with a scarf of some kind over the pin curls—but even then, she can hardly be classed as a “wellgroomed girl.” Q. When the folded napkin is laid on the left side of the plate, should the open edge be toward the plate or away from it? A. Toward the plate. Q. Are godparents obligated to give their godchild gifts? A. A christening present is expected—but after that, it is entirely up to the discretion or feelings of the godparents. Q. Woqld it be proper to typewrite place cards for a wedding breakfast? A. No. If legibility is what you are seeking, you can hand-print them. ,

Kindergarten Children In Reading Program

■ Pre-school children enrolled in a I reading program! - There might be those who would I question such an idea, protesting that the kindergarten children are not able to get much good out of books yet. The answer to this pretest can be found in a set of books on display now in the lobby of the public library, as well in the reading records of 30 kindergarten children who are enrolled in this summer’s reading program at the library. These children do get a great deal out of books just by having someone—a parent or and older brother or sister—read the book with them, in a family reading time. When families practice the reading aloud time for their children —not just pre-schopl age chjldren, either—they ate helping their children to achieve the goal the library has'set for the children who have enrolled in the reading program: to help give the pupil a command of the ideas in a book, and to increase his enjoyment and skill in reading, not to have a race to skim as many books as possible. Telling about his own program for his, two children in “A Family Reading in the Living Room,” Ralph G. Martin said in, “House Beautiful” that books offer many things in addition to knowledge, that they satisfy a need, and are > a mental and spiritual food. t What books do children want? ’ They are about the same as the ■ grownups want: a good storyßat r they want it told more simply. There is one cardinal rule in J choosing children's books, Martin , adds, Don’t mix the different world ? of real life and imagination, don’t , tack a moral onto a pleasant poem, ' don’t mix the medicine with the ’ honey.” There are others who . share Martin's view: the authors : of several books on display now at - the library, for instance. Phyllis Fenner, in "The Proof of the Pudding,” answers the-question, “Do children read much?” They do read, she says, going on to tell what they flike to read. “In Your Child’s Reading Today," Josette ' Frank describes what children , read, including comics; and out--5 lines the parent’s role in the child's reading program, and how J a parent can guide a child to the books he most needs. ’ Story Collections Are Good ’ She suggests that parents use I short story collections, because reading periods are likely to be in- ’ terrupted, and children can grasp ' the short stories well from short 1 sessions of reading. Some of the

collections she suggest are “Favorite Stories Oild and New," for ages six through nine; Dorothy Canfield's “Something Old, Something New,” for ages nine through 12, and for humor, the "Just So Stories,” of Rudyard Kipling’s, for , all ages. “Bequest of Wings” is Annis Duff's book about her family and books live with them. Reading how the family reads together, and about the books they like best for poetry, nature study, and general r- aM-around pleasure is almost like ; having a conversation with the author. Her “Larger Flight,” also on the shelves at the library, is a sequel to “Bequest of Wings.” In ? “A Parent s Guide to Children’s Reading,” Nancy Larrick recommends two books by Doctor Seuss as especially good for reading aloud: “Horton Hatches the Egg,” a book about an unusual elephant who hatches an egg for a lazy bird; and “The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins,” called one of the funniest children's books. Wilder Books for Young Pioneers Laura Ingals Wilder’s books are particularly good for reading aloud, the library recommends. The eight books have been used for special class projects in the Decatur school rooms, for they contain information on subjects from history of the American frontier to nature. The stories are real ones, about her own childhood, when her family moved from the big woods of Minnesota to the far west, following the frontier as it opened up. “Litttle House in the Big Woods” is the first of the group, which contains “By the Shores of Silver Lake," about the time when her Pa was a railroad man before he found a homestead in Dakota and “The Long Winter," about the family’s first winter in the Dakota territory. One bf the books that both the library and Martin in his magazine article call good read-alound books is “Winnie-the-Pooh,” and “The House at Pooh Corner.” Written by an Englishman, A. Milne, For That ... . TIRED FEELING, Get .... CERITOL Kohne DRUG STORE

these are short stories about a bear who comes to lire, a bear who likes stories about himself and who enjoys eating honey very much—so much in fact, that it gets him into tight squeezes at times. Pooh’s stories are not tooo complicated, and have no- fairies in them, but only a little boy who shares makebelive adventures with his toys and little creatures of the woods, knowing all the time that they are make-believe. Children anywhere from five to nine or even ten enjoy ' Pooh’s stories. 1 Pinocchio From Italy In “Pinocchio,” it is not a bear, ' but a puppet, that comes to life. ’ Carol Lorenzini’s fanciful story of a little wooden marionette comes ■ from Italy, a country which has ] had a rich tradition for puppetry. Old papa Geppetto works a long time to carve a wooden puppet, but when the poor carver finishes it, the saucy creature kicks him and runs out of the door in pursuit of life, liberty, and his own sweet way. Pinocchio is full of good intentions: to buy new clothes for his dear papa Geppetto, to go to school/to learn his lessons, and to be a good boy generally. Instead he wastes money, lies aboutit, and plays hookey from school. Each time he lies to his friend the Blue Fairy, his nose grows longer, until he cannot turn around in a room without colliding with the wals. At the climax of the story, he comes to a where there is never any'*'school, but where he finds that he has a fever that will tfifn him into a —but that would be telling the end of the story. Both books have the child’s kind of humor: objectivity, freedom from moralizing, and in "Pinocchio,” the gaiety of the irrepressible puppet. Martin has a final word to say about a family reading program of carefully chosen books, that tells of the worth one can get out of reading with a child: “The soul of a child is a singing thing and its song is a song of wonder. Tenderness can touch it sometimes, love can reach it often, but how can you wuse a child’s soul with your own, any time anl always? Is it as simple as reading a book together? It is in our family.” This pleasure is what the families who have begun such a reading program have found.
