to dance with my lady friend. I
said it was up to her, so he asked
her and she said, “Do you mind?"’

I repiied that it was up to her,

GENTLE READER — Speaking
of cheap tricks — do vou think it
is proper for gentlemen to set traps
for ladies?

Miss Manners cannot claim it

proper for ladies with strangers
who saunter over from bars. But
the manner in which this happened
— each of them asking your per-
mission — demonstrates that they
had merely confused the manners
of private dances, where a lady
may indeed accept other partners,
with omanners appropriate to
commercial establishments, such as
nightclubs or discos. You are
therefore wrong to shun her as if
she had behaved like a tramp.

DEAR MISS MANNERS — Last
summer, the florist delivered (o me
u lovely packape containing a
single red rose.

When I opened the accompany-
ing card, | was shocked to find
thal it was from my new dentist.

It read, ‘*Welcome to our dental
practice.”" | am puzzled, because |
had always thought a singie red
rose was a symbol of romantic
fove. I am young, altractive and
married.

GENTLE READER — A ted
rose accompanied by a card that

says “I can’t live without you’’
