Good Taste
Today
By EMILY POST

The rule Of good taste-from the
point Of view OF social usage-is
that the title Mrs. may never be
followed By a womans Christian
name. The only exeeption-and
this does not apply in private life
is that a business or professional
woman Il sometimes necessarily
addressed on subjects Of business.
or by her public. as Mrs. Jane Doe
not only because that may be the
only name they know her by. but
because no other name has any
meaning. On the other hand,
women of fastidious taste. who
intensely dislike calling themselves
Mrs. Jane, ask what they can
do except have their business
cards engraved Mrs. Jane Doe.
since the introduction of their
husbands names IS certainly out
of place.
fully agree with these women.
But I also share the strong
prejudiee against Mrs. Jane Tor
Mrs. Emily. In their place. I
should engrave my professional
card MRS. Jane Doe. True, this
doesn't tell any one not to ad-
dress you as Mrs. Jane Doe. but
at least 1t is a gesture on your
part to separate the Mrs. from
your Christian name. Or you can
of course have your cards and
letterhead engraved Jane Doe and
then in parenthesis put Mrs.
John Doe in very small type be-
meath.
The difficulty of the situation is
an out of adjustment one. The
prejudice against Mrs. Jane is one
of social tradition going back to
time when business and society
were completely apart. The COM
mon sense answer is that your
business name is Jane Doe twheth-
er you are called Mrs. Doe or Miss
Doe is not importantly. Since no
one is likely to call you Jane,
even If your cards have no title,
the best I can do is To return the
question to you for your own an

Young Women Can Often Profit by
Wise Comment Of Their Elders
Obsevant Woman Passes Along Few Hints That
Should Be of interest TO thoughtful Girls
By CYNTHIA GREY

Young women may resent the advice and comment of
older at times but if they stop to think twice they
will forget resentment and profit by the older womans
words
Older women don't pass along bits of wisdom because
they feel their superior judgment qualities them to speak
up-but they have the humility to realize that young
might profit by the mistakes they made themselves
in their youth.
And so they try to tell young persons how they can
avoid the mistakes that evident the person who

BEST TO WASH
SWEATERS At HOME

II you can't get such a guaran-
tee, let your own judgment be
your guide. Your judgment will
tell you not to look for bargains.
It costs real money to clean clothes
properly. So. if you want fine re-
suits, be prepared to pay reason-
able price for the work done.
BY all means learn to wash
sweaters yourself, as college girls
do. The washed sweater usually
is fluffier than the dry-cleaned
one. And the secret of success in
washing a sweater lies in squeez-
ing - not rubbing - in rich, mild
studs, rinsing thoroughly and dry
ing on towel-not over bar or
on a hanger.

BEST CLEANERS

This is the time when each or Us
ought to remind herself that there
is right way and an ever so
wrong way to go about making
odds and ends of last summers
wardrobe infinitely useful this
summer.
It's a mistake, of course. to wear
A last summers dress until it has
been inspected closely for missing
snaps or hooks or a sagging hem
line and before It has been cleaned
or washed.
Speaking of dry cleaning. be sure
to send your clothes to a reputable
establishment which guarantees to
clean everything in erystal-elear
solvent with special soaps to take
out stubborn grease. Don't trust
your best silks to what is known
in the cleaning trade as mud dry
ing'-a process which, instead OF
cleaning. simply distributes the
dirt evenly over the entire gar

WOMAN SOUGHT FOR
SHORTAGE IN BANK

A frantic plea to the police to bring
back his wife was made last week
by James C. Fields, Salisbury, husband
of Mrs. Margaret r. Fields, assistant
cashier of Savings Bank of Nanticoke
who has been missing since Friday
afternoon last.
az don't care what has been done
all I want is to know where she
is-to get her back here and to stick
by her." was the statement made by
the husband whose wife left the city
in his coupe with two suit cases pack
ed with clothes.
The pretty young cashier was re-
ported missing by her husband Fri
day night to Police Chief N. H. Hol-
land after Fields said he had found
a note left by his wife early in the
afternoon saying she was leaving and
wanted the cashier, NJ. DeCosta Rob-
.eerts, exonerated from any blame in
any connection with affairs at the
bank.
As state bank examiners were
conducting an examination of the
banks books, Mrs. Fields, assistant
cashier then on vacation, was asked
Ito return and assist in the check-up.
When she did not appear ss prom
Used at the bank, and could not be
located, her husband notified the po-
lice.
The little bank at Nanticoke was
closed Saturday morning after the
Board of Directors voluntarily placed
it in the hands of State Bank Com
missioner John w. Downing.
The closing came after a two-day
check-up of the examiners called in
by the president, Irving c. Jones and
Cashier Roberts.
Officers of the bank are: Presl-
dent. Jones; Ernest M. Larmore, vice
president, and Mr.. Roberts, cashier.
Mrs. Fields was employed at the
Nanticoke Bank for the last four
years.
At the end of last June, the bank
listed it's assets at $173,85s.10, de-
posts at $1ss,66s.95 and capital al
$4,000.
