Q. When it is necessary to
remove a bone from the mouth
while at the dinner table, should
one use a fork, spoon, or the'
napkin?
A. None of these "helps" are
in good taste, One should use
the thumb and forefinger, and
lay the particle on the plate.
Q. Is it considered proper,
now for a bride to telephone her
thanks for wedding gifts ,receiV-
id?
A. Never, under any circum-
stances, should she substitute'
telephone or verbal thanks for
that handwritten note of .thanks!
Q. Is it proper for the

As for the Queen and her
Consort, the welcome they are
receiving wherever they go is
sufficient refutation of any
publicized criticism. Anyway,
among some sections of society
it has become more or less of
a pose to flaunt so-called indif-
ference to the,,,KoyaLFernily. It
is meant as an assertion of in- 0
dependence and the theory that
all men are equal. On the other
hand British 7born7people take

ference„ They are satisfied to
know „the Queen is there, sym-
bol:ofia still great Empire. So
the, common folk go their own -
way, quietly and unobstrusive-
ly, content to let the Royal
Family lead their own lives, in-
sofar as that is possible. If they
are in 'the vicinity of Bucking-
ham Palace when the • Queen
rides by, ,no one could be more
thrilled or pay greater homage.
The upbringing of Prince
Charles and Princess Anne is
sometimes criticized but always
good-naturedly simply because
the populace feels the Royal
Family belongs to the people.
Remember after 'the Coronation
of the late King George, and
during the Royal tour of Lon-
don's -East end, they were con-
fronted with huge banners that
read "Lousy but Loyal". It
wasn't disrespect - just one of
those things that possibly only
a Londoner could understand.
The King was immensely am-
used.
