Naturally Miss Manners agrees
that you must not be rude. But you

are. not required to conceal how

stunned you are by their rudeness.

You need only say firmly, ‘‘That is

my father you are talking about!’’

~~ to explain why you should literally

gratulating themselves for doing

you a favor.

“It’s healthier for her to ‘talk

DEAR MISS MANNERS — At
a charity fund vaiser in 2 ‘big
department store, the hostess said
I would need another ticket for my
daughter, although one ticket was
good for ar adult and children
under 12, .

T told her my daughter is: only
10. The hostess responded with a

frown ond “Oh come on now —

fre = inane Merny wer!

she doesn’t look 10.” ..

The hostess. then added ‘that her
17-year-old son doesn’t get “‘card-
ed’? because he looks older than
his age.

What can I and my daughter say
to people who probe her aboat her
age ix this way? .

GENTLE READER —

A checker has the right to in-
quire, ‘May I see some identifica-
tion, please?”’ and to refuse ad-
mission withsct it. In the absence
of such papers, the testimony of a
mother about a child’s birth is

usually considered sufficient.
