By SALLY SHAW DEAR SALLY: My wife and I have been invited to spent several days during the Christmas Season with our daughter and her husband who live in another city. Since we happen to know they live on a very close budget, do you think I should offer to pay a share of their food bills while we’re staying in their home — or would such a suggestion be likely to offendlour son-in-law? DAD. DEAR DAD: Since you have been invited to be their guests, it wouldn’t be wise, tactful, or necessary to make such an offer. You might, however, take the young cou ple out to dinner once or twice while you’re there. DEAR SALLY: Evidently the parties my husband and I give in our home are es pecially successful and enter taining, because we always seem to have certain guests who are reductant to leave at a reasonable time. Just for DEAR SALLY By SALLY SHAW our future reference, can you suggest some tactful way in which we can signalize to lingering guests that the par ty is over? HOSTESS. DEAR HOSTESS: If you’re hesitant about telling these hangers-on that you’re tired and would like to retire, be gin to tidy up the place. Cut off the drinks, begin empty ing ashtrays and transporting glasses and dishes into the kitchen. This usually does a pretty good job of getting the message across. DEAR SALLY: I think my boy friend is becoming more and more an alcoholic. He’s considerate enough when he’s with me to hold his liquor intake down, but he admits freely to me that two or three nights a week he drinks himself numb with some of his pals. He is otherwise a wonderful guy and claims to be very much in love with me. I’m wondering though that if I were eventually to marry him whether his love for me would influence him enough to make him kick the drinking habit. CONCERN ED. DEAR CONCERNED: His love for you NOW isn’t keep ing him off the sauce. .. and marriage in itself is no cure for alcoholism. If it’s love he feels for you, he’ll listen to you and try to do something NOW about his drinking. In any event, don’t be planning on any marriage with him until you have proof-positive that he’s on the wagon to stay. No one has ever been happily married to a lush! DEAR SALLY: Would it be proper for us to name an adopted baby boy “Junior” for my husband? We’re ex tremely happy over this com ing adoption, since we are unable to have any children of our own. However, my hus band’s mother has told us emphatically that it isn’t right or in good taste to call a child that is not of your own flesh and blood “Jun ior.” TEXAS. DEAR TEXAS: Your mother-in-law is way off- base! There is nothing in the world wrong with naming an adopted son “Junior.” DEAR SALLY* When a couple are to be married, and both are living in a city other than their hometown, should the marriage announcements be mailed from that city or from the home of the bride? A. C. DEAR A. C.r Marriage an nouncements are always sent in the name of and from the home of the bride’s parents, or her nearest relatives. The colorful neon goby on exhibit at Marineland of Florida is to large denizens of the reef what the crocodile bird is to crocodiles; a kind of living toothpick. No more than two inches long, the go by eats the parasites from the mouth and small frag ments of food caught in the teeth and gill rakers of the large fish. .# Never have our merchants had a better se lection of Christmas merchandise.
