ends of your black tie under your collar.

{illustration caption = Packets of old letters, bits of verse, locks
of hair, pressed flowers, inscribed books, photographs, etc., all
make acceptable wedding gifts. By telling you whether they should be
presented to the Bride or to the Groom PERFECT BEHAVIOR has, we feel,

the Bachelor Dinner. You are handed a bottle of Chateau Lafitte '69.
