Is “How do you do” all neces- sary to acknowledge an introduc- tion? A. Yes, provided it is accompan- ied with a smile, or an expression of sincerity. Merely to say, “How do you do” with a stony stare makes the other person wonder if there is any displeasure attending the in- troduction. Q. Should a guest ever join in a family argument? A. Never. The guest must not take sides, and if he can do so quietly and without notice he should leave the room or walk away. Q. When should the bridegroom give his gifts to the ushers? A. These gifts are always put at the ushers’ places at the bachelor dinner. — e DAILY LESSONS IN ENGLISH * , By W. L.
