- LEEVES billowins about slim

fashion. You have no notion

a chubby little thing you had better
not wear them, for gathers and shir-
rings and widened shoulders are not
flattering to that type of figure, but
If you are slim and tall nothing could
be more alluring.
In today's dress one enormously

The effect Is simply delightful and

ing lines, produced by a godet set in
in front and back add to the flower

net, coarser and sitter than that of
former seasons, is used for this dress.
Organdie is a grand choice and 1t

The Old Gardener Says {:

The old fashioned Germander,
called by the botanists Teucrium
chamaedrys, is fast making a
place for itself as an edging plant
for borders or beds, being used
even as 8 substitute for box, be-
cause much more hardy. The
small green leaves are almost as
glossy as though vanished and
remain on the plants all Winter.
During the growing season new
leaves, somewhat lighter green In
color, are continually appearing.
The plants sometimes suffer lit
tie In Winter and occasionally
one dies, but usually little
shearing will restore the condi-
ton OF the teucriums. At least
one shearing Is needed In the
course of the Summer In any
event to keep the plants even and
symmetrical. When used for edg-
ing purposes or as low hedges,
teucrium plants should be set
rather closely and will need
. little feeding each Spring.

Regulated
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MISS POST: As / super
scribed the envelope to this let
ter, wondered how stranger could
be expected to have any alternative
for Mrs. Emily Post You have said
repeatedly that this is incorrect, but
how could I be expected to know
anything else, since you are known
as Emily Post and sometimes re-
ferred to as Mrs. Post?"
Answer-You are quite right In
addressing the envelope Mrs. Emily
Post, since professionally I have no
other name This social tabu of Mrs.
followed by a woman's Christian name
cannot apply. But to address q So
cial note to a personal friend when
you know her husbands name is
John, other than as Mrs. John Brown,
is in bad taste.
Dear Mrs. Post: I am a surgeon
and as such use the title, Dr. Re-
Gently I was at large cocktail party
and found myself marooned with sew
eral strangers, with no one to intro
duce' us. So I introduced myself, 7
am DR.. Smith Later 1t occurred to
me that perhaps I should have said,
7 am John Smith"
Answer-"Dr. Smith" Is proper to
strangers.
Dear Mrs. Post: How does one
write q check to a physician? To a
clergyman? To a college professor
who holds a Phi. DIP"
Answer-Correctly, the check is
made out to all three In exactly the
same form-John A. Smith. But
since it seems disrespectful to his
cloth to address a clergyman as plain
John Smith, 1t is permissible to pre-
Ak the Rev. If you prefer.
Dear Mrs. Post: I have occasion
to write letters for my employer to
his lawyer who served on the bench
of the State Supreme Court for a
short time some time ago How
should I address letters to him?"
Answer:
The Hon. John A. Smith

Dear Mrs. Post: Many times I
have occasion to write lettei5 for my
employer which require taht I in
close a self-addressed, stamped en-
velope. I never know whether to pre-
fix Mr.. to his name on these return
envelopes, or whether to type John
Smith only?"
