Answering

Girl Should Wait
For Boy to Write
First Letter.
BY EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: Who writes the
first letter-the boy or the girl? We've
been arguing this question and I said
that thought the girl might write
first, just as she Is supposed to speak
first to a boy she doesn't know well.
Answer-Between old friends the one
who goes away is likely to write first
because his Cor herr surroundings
suggest subjects to write about. On
the other hand, any particular hap
pening at home is an even better ex-
cuse. When a new friendship starts
it is better that the girl wait for the
boy to write her the first letter, just
as she waits for him to ask her to 90
out with him.
Dear Mrs. Post: How does 8 man
refer to his wife when speaking to the
waiter? Is he supposed to say MY
wife will have the broiled chicken" or
Mrs. Smith?" Or how else does he
designate her when he has to?
AnSWer-To a foreigner he says,
"The chicken is for madame" To a
waiter who is colored-or. in fact, to
any one who is not foreign-he says
THE chicken is for the lady" In a
restaurant to which they 60 often and
are therefore known by name, he would
call her Mrs. Smith" to either a
waiter or a waitress who is American.
To one who is European he calls her
Madame" (French pronunciation) al

at her afternoon bridge game to make
her cross, and start her to picking on
him?
Now. OF course, no man is going
to admit that he is henpecked, that
he is scared to death of his wife
and that he doesn't dare to pipe in
his own home, much less to stand up
for his right, but he will concede that
most men are nothing but bill
payers in their families and that
they don't have any say-so about
where their money goes.
AS Brother Jasper says. ''the world
do move" and naturally no one would
wish to go back to the time when a
mans position as head Of the house
gave him the opportunity of exercising
a grand tyranny over his family, such
as was graphically portrayed in The
Barrets Of Wimpole Street." where the
father had SO enslaved his children
that they cowed before him.
But there is a long difference be-
tween the man who is an autocrat in
his family and the one who washes
his hands of all responsibility for
it beyond supplying its physical needs.
I. for one, think it great pity that
husbands and fathers have abdicated
and turned over the domestic thrones
to wives.
And I am sure there would not be
so many Wild girls and boys who bring
their parents shame and sorrow If
father was still head of the house
and established an authority that had
to be respected; If father still laid
down principles to which children had
to conform and if his word was still
law in his household

she rear the children single-handed,
according to her own formula, and
settle every problem connected with
them, from the kind of baby food
they shall eat to what professions
they shall follow and whom they shall
marry. entirely without reference to
their fathers views on the subject?
