DEAR MISS MANNERS —
When I! became engaged six
months ago, I asked, a
longtime friend to .be oa
bridesmaid. At that time, we
saw each other occasionally
and called about once a
week,

Now, however, our. friendship
has deteriorated. J haven't seen or

talked (0 her in two‘ months. [°

. called. about iwo weeks ago, and
since she wasn't bome, left 4
message with her mother. 1 siil!
haven't heard from her,

- Fwould like to know if it is pro-
per and, if so, is there a tactful
way to let her know I no longer
wish fur her to be a bridesmaid at
‘my wedding.

GENTLE READER — Two’ mon-

to know that if-you’re going to
find it difficult to keep your. prom-
ise to me; I'll understand."

DEAR MISS MANNERS — My

fiance and Ff cannot agree on the.

Proper procedure for dining in a
restaurant. If) you do not like

a
,

where you are seated, do you ask
to sit elsewhere and supgest a table
you would like, or stay where you
are seated and not say anything?
What about asking for alterations

on the menu? Is this acceptable in |

a nice restaurant?

GENTLE READER — While
there: is no reason not.to make
such reasonable and polite requests...
as “If that table isn’t .reserved;
we'd like to have itt or ‘‘May |

_have salad instead of potatoes?" it

is possible that your requests may
not.be within the restaurant’s poli-
cy. Therefore you would do better

“making your requests along with

your reservations.
