There are so many myths and
strange tales about the horns of this
animal that one Of them, at least
should be cleared up. It is said that

be used to gore animals or men.
The foundation for this story may

The frightened beholder may think
the horn is manipulated as the hog

The horns are believed by some Of

power to ward off being poisoned by

from one of them. They also say this
horn has the power to cure all man

FURN. APT. (57OO BLOCK,
3rd PLACE N. W.
Congenial atmosphere means so
much to us in looking for a place
to live. Last evening when I Wis
tied this home, which was as neat
and clean as new pin, I was very
pleased with the good fellowship
displayed. The owners have made
most attractive little furnished
apartment on the second floor.
There is a completely equipped
kitchen with range and electric
ice box, a delightful little porch
off the kitchen that could be used
for relaxation and as a breakfast
porch. There is living room,
bedroom, and bath all very nice
and we'll furnished. I feel safe
in recommending this as a very
pleasing place to live. Rental of
$50 includes light, heat and gas.
LARGE FURNISHED APT:
Just a block away from Con.
necticut Avenue and close to
downtown, is an apartment that
would answer the purpose Of a.
grown family, consisting Of five
or six persons. It is on the ground
floor across from a park and
while I was there yesterday after
noon a delightful breeze was
blowing through, as the apart
ment has three exposures. On
entering you find yourself in a
large entrance foyer which di-
vides the living room from the
sleeping quarters. Three huge,
bright bedrooms, fully equipped,
provide the sleeping space. There
is a small dining room and kitchen
that is really worth while. Nova
days it is rarity to find a kitchen
that is SO spacious and we'll ar.
ranged and as if that is not enough
there is a porch off the rear This
is suitcase for several months,
so you better hurry and investi-
gate. Rental is quite reasonable.
FURNISHED HOUSE:
This is a golden opportunity for
some discriminating family. It is
a seven room, two bath house that
is beautifully furnished. There
is lovely flower garden in the
back yard and the front one is
nicely shrubbed. An interesting
feature is the fact that there are
The Washington times., 1936-06-15

two gentlemen who pay $35 a
month who will be glad to stay on
with the new tenant, providing, of
course, that is their wish. This
would generously lessen the rental
and you would still have all the
advantages of a house. The rent
al is $50 completely furnished.
BROWN ST. N. W.:
1 visited a home off 18th Street,
where you can get comfortable
rooms and real home cooked meals.
This is presided over by an expe-
rienced lady whose chief outlook
in life is the welfare of her guests.
These rooms are very spacious and
have deep, roomy closets and
plenty of good window space. AS
this house is located in one of the
loveliest sections of town, from
which you can reach downtown
in a few minutes, I would advise
you looking into this at once.
GUEST HOUSE,
18TH & CALIFORNIA STS.:
Gay ladies and gallant gentle
men at one time held sway in this
attractive, historic home. It was
built years ago for a well-known
Washingtonian's home, and in re-
cent years has been run as a guest
house. All the rooms are huge,
many of them having wood-burn-
ing fireplaces, and some have pri-
vate baths. Well-trained servants
are at your beck and call and the
general atmosphere of the house is
very distinctive. Rates are moder-
ate and at this writing there are
several very charming vacancies.
ROOM AND MEALS
IN A SOUTHERN HOME:
Like Southern cooking? Well,
who doesn't? Anyway, if you like
real Southern fried chicken and
those famous delicacies that they
are famed for, here's your chance.
In private home on upper Eighth
Street there is a vacancy on the
second floor front that would take
care of two people very nicely and
where the owner will serve deli
cious holne-cooked meals. The
rates are $32.50 apiece for room
and board.

mother or II necessary my sister AliCe or
my son George"
No matter to whom these descriptive names
are said they can't be wrong. On the other
hand should Mrs Stranger when talking to
YOU, speak of her husband as Mister this
would mean either that her own social back
ground is very provincial or else that she is
quite frankly rating you as one outside OF her
own social group Which may, of course,
mean merely that your meeting is business
one.
The only occasion when lady speaks of
her husband as Mister" to one whom she
has met socially is when this person presumes
to call him by his first name and she objects.
This is situation that was never met with
until the last few years in any society that
could have been called good" But with the
present wholesale discarding of last names by
all younger (and even many older) people of
social prominence, it is no wonder that
strangers are sometimes at a loss to guess
who's who, and what they themselves may or
may not say.
Perhaps our manners are no more cratic
than those of other people, but the extremes
to which we 60 seem fantastic. When Charles
Dickens wrote his American Notes, he es
pecially ridiculed the American wife who not
only spoke about her husband as Mister
but who never called him anything but Mr..
Jones" when speaking to him herself.
Today, we find this just as absurd as he
did. And we also find absurd the custom, of
not so long ago, which exacted that every we'll

age she became debutante. be called Miss"
by all her partners and even by her most de-
voted beaux whom she in turn called Mister,
not only until she knew them better, but for

proof of her own youth and popularity If she
had grain of common sense, she would know
very we'll that behind her back Darling Kit
ten" is probably spoken Off at alias
Poor old cat"
1t is obvious that the real standards of good
taste belong somewhere between reserved
primness to the point of prudery, and no re-
serve at all. The woman in Dickens "Ameri-
can Notes" is at one corner of the triangle,
Kitten is at another corner, and Mary" is
at the third corner.
But to return to the opening paragraph of
this article AS already said, lady says MY
husband" when speaking to an acquaintance.
But to friend or the friend of friend, she
speaks of him as John" Yet this does not
give anyone else the privilege of calling him
John unless otherwise told to do so. In the
same way, MIR. Worldly speaks of Edith to
friends, of course, and also to every woman
whom they both know socially. But to man
not an intimate friend and to woman who is
a stranger, he says my wife" To employees
or to clients, as well as to his business ac-
quaintances, he calls her Mrs. Worldly"
When speaking to strangers about other
people, one says Mrs, Miss" or Mr.,
as the case may be- 1t is very bad form to go
about saying Edith Worldly" or Ethel
Eminent to those who do not call them
Edith and Ethel And to speak thus familiarity
to one whom you do not call by her own first
name is mthinkable.
Until the last few years no we'll brought up
child would have thought of calling the friends
of his parents by their first names. But today
this practice like that of the hostess who
serves herself first) is all too often accepted,
by those who are either lacking in sensibility
or who are afraid to criticize because they
might be thought not modern.
The rule which every child must be taught
is that he may never call grown person by
his or her first name unless told to do SO by
the grown person. Even so, this is sometimes
not fair to the child since it prejudices
strangers who are apt to take it for granted
that his apparent lack of respect is short
coming of his own.

gagged called her Mary and was in turn
called John!
First names were bad FORM to such
degree that even those who had been play
mates in childhood, and called each other by
first names when at home or among Others of
their own group, spoke to each other as
Miss" or Mister" before strangers.
And yet. absurd as this prim iormality
sounds today, I'm not sure but that there is
something to be said in favor of formality even
to the extreme of teaching little children, as
part of their training in department, to pre-
fix each others names with Miss" or Mas
ter on the formal occasions of dancing class
or party.
Changes in custom are often cratic, but IN
the modern trend toward omission of titles
almost entirely by those whose right to them
is most assured, there is an ironical reversal.
This same familiarity in the use of first names,
which the smart world would seem to be
adopting, is the outstanding hallmark by
which those at the other end of the social scale
are handicapped. The sole reason why so
many men and women who work prefer jobs
Ill IdCLOIlcS vi SlOICS " SiiooS vi ~AA
ploy is that the latter carries the opprobrium
of being addressed by first names. One rather
wonders whether MIR. Dickens, were he alive
today, would think our manners had changed
for the better.
As in almost every general precept, there
can be found exceptions which seemingly
break its rules and yet actually break none.
At this moment there comes to mind gentle
woman of serene loveliness-the wife of
world famous man-and to every one who
knows her she is Mary; sometimes Johns
Mary" But her first name has become SYM
boil, in way, of the loveliness which is hers.
One can not imagine her as being called by
any other name than Mary" nor could one
imagine it pronounced other than endear-
ingly.
But this one exception in no way ap-
proaches the middle aged woman who SEEM
ingly thinks that being hailed as Darling
Kitten" by whole roomful of boys and girls
young enough to be her grandchildren, is
Evening star., 1936-05-31

There is prejudice of good taste against
teaching children to call anyone Aunt, Uncle
or Cousin when no such relationship exists.
Therefore, in many cases, really intimate
friends who are devoted to the children and
do not like the formality of MIR. and Mrs., and
yet do not want to be called by their first
names, are given niclSnames which either they
themselves or the children make up.
The use of first names is proper, of course,
between schoolboys and schoolgirls of all ages.
But between young men and young women of
college ages, first names should indicate that
they know each other fairly well; and the
degree of friendship implied among those
beyond college years should increase in pro-
portion to age.
The question of what bride is to call her
parents-in-law is one that has no definite
answer except the old fashioned one of Moth
er Jones' and Father Jones" Among the
moderns, choices of names is purely personal.
Most often the father-inlaw is called mfr"
but mother -in-law is given name which
means mother, but is not the name by which
the brides own mother is known. Or perhaps
Sic Is Cducu WIS. ulitn 81 oifuSAAaA . AANN-
name gradually becomes hers. Many ultra
modern mothers and fathers-in-law are
choosing to be called by their first names, as
are nearly all stepparents of half, or quite
grown sons and daughters depending again,
of course, upon their own choice.
In business, the strict observance of con-
vention is necessarily Of greater Importance
than in the social world The impression made
upon clients or customers by the improper
manners of clerk affects the standing of the
office as whole.
A very poor impression of firms efficiency
is given to a visitor, entering an executives
private Office, who hears his secretary call him
Jim" or even u. b." or hears him call her
Marjorie - Not only should she address him
as 'Mr. Smith but when answering she
should add sir" to yes or no, because this OBJ
servance is one of the requirements of pro-
priety in business relations. And it is no more
proper for a clerk to enter the manager s office
and say Did you ring, Bill1" than it is for the
manager to sit in his shirt sleeves at a
directors meeting.
