Should Parents Offer
To Pay During Visit?
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.

Which tide are yea out
Christmas trees, whether
old-style or news can be dan-1
gerous warns the Institute
for Safer Living. Special pre-
autions should be taken to
insure a safe home during
this hazardous holiday sea-
on, starting with the Yul£
tree.
If you purchase a tree from
he great outdoors, cut the
runk on a slant at least one
nth above the original cut;
place it in water immediate-
y and keep the water level
hove the cut at all times,
lon’t bring it into the warm
Irying atmosphere of the
-ousc until Christmas.
Us(k a water type base that
< sufficiently large and
heavy (with water) to keep
tree irom toppling Over-
Set it up away from sources
of heat and do not block
the stairway or door with it.
Remove the tree when the
needles start to turn brown
'r start to fall—if not be
fore.
Use only sets of lights that
have Underwriters’ Laborato
ries approval, reports the In
stitute for Safer Living of the
American Mutual Liability
Insurance Co. Only those
artificial trees and decora
tions made of non-combuKljr
ble materials can be con
sidered fireproof. Be wary uf
fire retardent chemioul* Hr
other substances Sold for fire
proofing natural tre'*s <r:d
decorations made of combust
tible materials.
As for artificial trees, m|-
tallic trees should never tile
strung with electric lighif.
Remember, too,*‘thnt a shoiv
ed electric circuit can bo .js
potentially hazardous to ar
tificial trees as it is to nat
ural trees. The 11 entire tifc
■an become c ectrica ly
charged if contact is made
with a frayed wire or a poor
ly insulated socket.; • Plastic
trees may also produce elec
tric shocks when coated with
metallic material.
The Institute for Safer Li
iog also advises that y
know the electrical load of
your Christmas decoration^,
both those on the tree and in
other places in the house oi’
outdoors. Do not overload thp
circuits
Turn off lighting when lead
ing the house or going to bed.
Make a special effort to
avoid holiday hazards to in
sure a merry Christmas.
