Steve, at least You and I are
going to get out of this. We're
well and strong. I'll make this up
to you somehow. 1 only wish I
could make 1t up to Mark"
I've been deciding on some
things" Steve told the girl. This
lake isn't very large. This after
noon. even through the storm, I
saw a fringe Of trees on the other
side"
I'm sure of that, too. Steve"
Doris assured him.
"Well, I'm going to cross over.
The lake Is frozen. There's a good
chance I'll find q settlement on
the other side Of the lake.
Brave Enough
AT least it's worth trying. I
can take food along, you know,
and keep going. When I know
that you and Mark are sheltered
here with plenty of food my cour-
age won't leave me.
Even II I'm gone two or three
days you won't need TO be wor-
ried because I'll come back with
help for Mark"
"You think he's got a chance ?"
II don't know, Doris, but It's
the thing we've got to try. He's
got a lot OF grit. He's stayed this
long through terrible privations.
Now things are better, he's
quite comfortable. the room Is
warm, there's food and the essen
tials OF life. But Doris, I've got
to try to get out and find medical
help for him. You're brave enough
to stay alone ?"
'T'm brave enough to do any
thing you tell me to do, Steve, "
Doris said slowly. 81 feel as
though I never lived before in my
whole life. And. honestly, for the
first time in my life feel as
though I'm doing my share"
Wed better get TO sleep and
get as much rest as we can" Steve
said. Tomorrow If the weather
has slackened down even q little
I'm going to make the drive"
The night was uneventful. Mark
moaned occasionally In his semi
stupor and Doris brought hot
stones to warm him. adjusted his
blankets, or gave him 4 few sips
Of cold water.
She insisted that Steve stay in
his bunk. And whenever he start
ed 10 get up TO serve Mark. she
got up instead.
You'll need every bit Of your
strength" she reminded Steve.
I've got a feeling that you've de-
cided exactly the right thing to
do. You'll find help across the
lake and you can bring medicine
and supplies back with you. maybe
even q doctor"
rs there anything you want me

Of the long watches OF the night.
Doris smiled roefully. Steve lay

given advice to the effect that a
clergyman who does not hold a
doctors degree should be spoken
to. and Of, as Mr.. Sanity =. never
Reverend Sanity. This opinion
which had at first given. in my
book as being In accord with hes,
taste, was endorsed further by the
late DR.. Frank vizetelly, editor OF
the Standard dictionary, who pro-
nounced the title reverend directly
preceding a surname grammatical
ly incorrect. One might, of course,
say Reverend Father, but not
Reverend Jones, nor even Reverend
Henry Jones in conversation REV
Henry Jones Is correct on an en-
velope).
Now and then. when In answer
TO a letter in this column I have
given Mr.. Jones as the only proper
way to speak Of or TO a Protestant
clergyman who Is not called Doctor
Jones or Pastor Jones, a certain
number OF readers have written me
that TO them Mr.. Jones In place
of Reverend sounds disrespectful.
Others tell me that their clergyman
is always called Reverend, no other
name being necessary. Usually,
too. they tell me they like Reverend
and that they consider 1t both
friendly and respectful.
To these letters I have felt hesi-
tant about saying anything further
than to repeat at some time later,
when a new accumulation Of letters
on the subject made another
answer necessary. that Reverend
Jones il neither In best taste nor
according to best English, but that
II the people OF such a church do
not mind either of these faults,
there is no further rule against it.
Today, however, I would like to
answer this question with a clip
ping from the magazine Time"
The article is headed Mr.. for Rev.:
Nothing so infuriates a minister
named Jones as being called Rev
erend Jones' Reverend is an ad-
jective, not title. II a person is
not doctor I'd. d. or Phi. d. he
is like other men, a minister. Last
week the Ministerial Association
Of Lansing, Mich, formally re-
solved that in addressing one an
other, or in referring to one an
other in speech or in writing, we
discard all titles except that of
Mister Lansing's reverend mis-
ters hoped that their friends and
the press would stop infuriating
them"
Where the Chairman's Wife
Is Seated
Dear Mrs. Post: Should the
chairman's wife be seated at the
speakers table, or may she be
seated at some other table?
Answer: This answer depends
upon how many speakers there are.
II there Is no place to include her
at the speakers table, she should
sit at one of the smaller tables
very near to the speakers table.
Relatives in Heart
Dear Mrs. Post: Does death
sever relationships? That is, does
a stepfather cease being a step
father If the mother of the chill
dren dies? Do stepbrothers and
sisters cease being related il the
parents should die?
Answer: The endurance Of such
a relationship is founded on affec-
ton. II they were devoted to each
other, they remain so for always.
If they were unsympathetic, they
naturally drift apart; but even so,
there should be no break in the
friendliness of their behavior.
