I am working and earning a nice salary while the boy with whom I am going is still in col lege and doesn't have much money to spend. Is it all right for me occasionally to pay for an evening's entertainment? A. This is quite all right Oc casionally you may say you have tickets for this or that affair. Don't embarrass him. however, by paying for the tickets while he is present. Q. When a husband and wife have a single male guest at din ner, should he be served first, or should the hostess? A. The hostess, as the only woman present, should be served first If there were another woman present, she would, of course, be served first Q. Is it required that a woman wear a hat when she goes to a restaurant during the day? A. If she wishes to be proper, she wears a hat Q. If a man is standing on a crowded bus talking with his fi ancee who is seated, and the seat next to her is vacated, is it all right for him to seat himself next to her, or should he allow one of the standing women to take the seat? A. If another woman is close by, he most certainly should offer her the seat Q. Is it all right to write thank you notes on the typewriter? A. Although most typewritten personal letters are now generally accepted, it is still better to write the thank-you note by hand. .. . f iM:::. . - J '.

Infant Departments in the Stores Are Booming; a $200 Million Business By DOROTHY, ROE Associated Press Women's Editor Babies are important people. For the last 10 years these small and demanding individuals have been providing delighted manufacturers of infants' wear, toys and nursery furniture with an ever-expanding market. As the national birth rate continues to soar, with some four million new citizens expected this year, infant departments in the stores are booming, baby books are selling like hot cakes, and there are numerous success sto ries about young men who start ed diaper services and now drive limousines. A recent survey revealed that an average of $50 is spent on each new baby in the United States by the time it is a few weeks old. This means a 200 mil lion dollar business in infants needs, and doesn't take into ac count the constantly growing de mand for toys, clothes, food and Jo toddler and school age. With the new importance of the baby market, designers have been outdoing themselves in thinking up new ideas to make babies happier, healthier, more comfortable and cuter. In the infants' wear field alone, the changes in the last decade have been practically revolution ary. Time was when the expectant mother bought a bolt of cotton flannel and proceeded to stitch up the little wrappers, night gowns and sometimes even the diapers the new arrival might be expected to need. Now, however, she has all the latest discoveries of science and design as close as the nearest de partment store. Dainty tiny gar ments of all the new miracle fibers make life and laundry easy for her. There are special towels, blankets, gowns and wrappers made of super-soft cotton knits. There are plastic-lined diaper co vers to make baby socially accept able. And there are new fashions for babies each season, just as there are for grown-ups. quarters will be in Roberts Bros.
