When Title
Reverend
Is Wrong
Not Used Directly
Before Surname;
Mr. Preferred
BY EMILY POST,

On occasion in this column have
given advice to the effect that a
clergyman who does not hold a doc
tors degree should be spoken to, and
OF, as Mr.. SANITY never Rev.
Sanity. This opinion, which I had
at first given in my book as be-
ing In accord with best taste, was
indorsed by the late DR.. Frank
Vizetelly, editor of the Standard
Dictionary, who pronounced the
title reverend directly preceding a
surname dramatically incorrect.
One might, of course, say reverend
father, but not Rev. Jones, nor even
Rev. Henry Jones in conversation
(Rev. Henry Jones is correct on an
envelope).
Now and then, when in answer to
a letter in this column have given
Mr.. Jones as the only proper way
to speak of or to Protestant clergy
man who IS not called DR.. Jones or
Pastor Jones, q 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 it both friendly and
respectful.
To these letters I have felt hes
liant about saying anything further
than to repeat at some time later.
when new accumulation of letters
on the subject made another an
swer necessary, that Rev. Jones is
neither in best taste nor according
to best English, but that if the peo-
pie OF such church do not mind
either Of these faults there Is no
further rule against it. Today, how
ever, would like to answer this
question with a clipping from the
magazine Time. The article is head
ed Mr.. for Rev.: Nothing so in
furiates minister named Jones as
being called Rev. Jones' Rev.
erend is an adjective, not title. If
parson is not doctor Cd. D. or Phi.
d. he is like other men, mister.
Last week the Ministerial Associa-
ton 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 dis
card all titles except that of mis-
ter. Lansing's reverend misters
hoped that their friends and the
press would stop infuriating them"

Exercise for
Muscles
Pregnancy Weakens
Longitudinal Ones;
Toning Important
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

In this enlightened day there is no
need for q woman to lose the grace
full lines of youthful figure be-
cause she becomes mother. The
day is past when childbearing meant
bidding good-by to pleasing hgure
proportions. Formerly women were
not instructed by their attending
physicians on how to exercise back
to figure beauty.
Obstetricians seem to agree that
the time to exercise is during the
first six weeks after your child is
born. Some physicians advise ex-
ercises while the young mother is
still in bed, but the time element
will depend entirely upon your at
tending doctor, for there are several
factors to consider.
A prominent authority on correc-
tive exercises informs us that the
change in your measurements i'm
mediately after the blessed event
is due to the stretching Of your abb
dominal muscles, especially the
longitudinal ones. About six weeks
after childbirth these muscles tend
to become f1abby and take on fat
thus "tummy" is formed. Then
the abdomen, which appeared SO
gloriously fiat at first, tends to
spread because of the complete
slumping of its walls with its mus
cles too stretched to feel much pull
In ordinary movements.
In this authority's words:
Spreading seems to be q phenome-
non to whose occurrence q woman
becomes more liable after childbirth.
Even the hard-toned athletic woman
seems subject to it. In fact, year
after childbirth, any woman is
likely to find herself with hips prac-
tically as narrow as before, but with
abdomen enlarged by the accumula-
ton Of fat and spongy tissue on
heightened muscle. That is: UN-
LESS SHE DROPS HER INERTIA
AND EXERCISES sC1ENTIFI-
CALLY."
A routine Of scientific exercises
are offered In my post-pregnancy
leaflet, which is free upon request.
You must take this leaflet to your
physician and ask his approval be-
fore you begin exercising. The rou-
tine has been planned by a promi-
nent New York authority on correc-
tive exercises for women, under the
supervision of two leading obste-
tricians.
If you will follow the exercises
exactly as directed from week to
week your tape measure will an
nounce that your beautiful girlish
figure is returning to you by de-
grees-stronger and more beautiful
for its experience.

anxiety about where the next meal
Is coming from, quarrels and wrang-
ling between two children who blame
each other for their plight.
And alas, so unromantic is human
nature. even love seldom lasts in
these premature marriages. The
man who knows that he would have
gone far in the world If he had not
handicapped himself by an adoles-
cent marriage realizes that he sold
his birthright for mess Of pottage,
and he comes to hate the woman
who persuaded him into the bargain.
So the answer to the boy who
asks: What must I do when the
girl I love begs me to marry her and
I know I am too young or haven't
any money or Job to marry one?" is:
Don't do it.

Courage runs high in this town Of
tall canyons. From Paris recently
came three young men named Toby,
Sonny and Rhea who have combined
their talents and resources to Or
ganize new millinery business. In
a smart basement setting in the
East Sixties" they are now show
ing collection of hats that literally
sing of youth. Here are amusing
and original hats that are exciting
for their bead trimming, their eye
shadow tulles in brown, purple and
green, their dress fabrics like challis,
striped ticking and wool mohair in
hats with brims, their sugar candy
straws that look good enough to eat,
their roses on pink for costume fiat

to Toby who, while with Schiaparelli
in Paris, gained a reputation for
clever designs in hats and acces-
ories. X II
The Italian art exhibit loaned by
the Italian government and until
recently displayed at the San Fran

irresistibly appealing.
Conversation piece! A little pek-
inese on a leash. Recently in New
York on Park avenue Just in front
of the Waldorf, two little "pekes"
rubbed noses in friendly greeting.
Their nistresses tugged suddenly and
vigorously on the leashes; then the
younger one relented. Poor Bam-
bo," she said aloud, "he never has a
playmate-he's so lonesome" Twas
only a moment until the two wom-
en-, until then perfect strangers. had
stepped to one side in earnest con-
versation about the lonely life of
lap-dogs.
You're right-fashion is fun. While
blizzard was raging in New York
recently, the Swiss fabric group
sponsored fashion show to the
press and trade in the ballroom of
the Hotel Waldorf showing the new
Swiss organdies and voiles for sum-
mer 1910. While outside the tenn
pertature slipped near the zero mark,
exquisite new patterns in cloque and
Image prints made up into blcuses,
day dresses with hoods and full
skirted dance dresses won wide ap-
plause.
In the home furnishing group, in
terest centered around luncheon
cloth of Swiss cloque and creped or

border of transparent white organdy.
In curtains and bedspreads. the crisp
beauty of this dainty fabric showed
to special advantage.

wives will fall to spring cleaning,
while their husbands putter about
the yard, or spend Saturday after
moons oiling the electric fans.
Yes, we're going into the home
stretch as far as winter menus and
cold weather dishes are concerned.
But we still have a few weeks OF
Lent to contend with and, bearing
that in mind, we are devoting the
column today to unusual fish
recipes that we hope will brighten
up your meals bit.
Shad, that favorite of all of us,
is coming in better and with bigger
roes, as the fish draw closer to the
mouth of the Potomac. In case
you are hankering for your first
shad Of the season we suggest two
ways of preparing it that will give
you the utmost pleasure. First,
spend a little extra cash, and have
the fish market bone it for you
carefully, or use the long, slow
cooking method to reduce the bones
to a minimum. Here Is how it is
done:
BAKED HOMELESS" SHAD."
Place the shad on rack in q
roasting pan which is sufficiently
high to allow for three cups of
water below. The fish must not
touch the water. Cover pan and
bake fish in the oven at 1926 degrees
for five hours. Basic frequently.
Just before serving remove cover
and let the fish brown. The long
cooking practically dissolves the
bones. For tastier fish replace
one-half cup of water with one-half
cup of lemon juice. Serve gar
nished with lemon wedges and
parsley.
To cook shad that has already
been boned, or one in which the
bones are permitted to remain
(heaven help the consumerD the
following recipes have proved very
satisfactory:
BAKED SHAD, CRABMEAT
STUFFING.
Have a buck shad cleaned and
split. (Boning optionaD Mix cup
cooked or canned crab meat with "a
cup bread crumbs, and u cup beef
stock or canned bouillon. Place the
mixture inside shad and sew shad
together with poultry twine. Place
fish in a creased baking pan,
sprinkle with pepper and salt and
pour over it another 4 cup of stock
or bouillon. Bake in a moderate
oven for 40 minutes.
PLANKED SHAD.
Use a special oak plank that can
be bought in any housewares de-
partment. Wash and dry it and
then butter it well. Place the split,
cleaned shad, with the head cut
off, on the plank, skin side down.
Pour a little melted butter and
lemon juice over the fish, sprinkle
it with salt and pepper. Bake in
q moderate oven for 80 to IS

Waffle Wedges

Waf1le sandwiches are Something
different. Bake four wafnes, then
spread thick layer Of ham relish,
cheese or any other popular sand
wich filing over each. Stack them,
cut them into wedges and serve
them, for luncheon or supper, with
plenty Of hot coffee.

minutes. Squeeze cooked mashed
potatoes through pastry bag or
press to make circle around the
edge of the plank, and return it to
the oven just long enough for the
potatoes to brown on top. Garnish
with sprigs of parsley, sliced to-
matoes and lemons, and serve i'm
mediately on the plank.
oysters will soon be singing their
swan song for another summer; it
is wise, therefore, to make use of
them often right now. Here are
two suggestions for preparing them:
OYSTERS EN- BROCHETTE.
Drain and dry large, plump oys-
ters. Season with lemon juice and
freshly ground black pepper. I'M
pale them on metal skewers and
put them in pan with little
butter. Stiffen them quickly in the
oven and then broil them under
the fame until done. Serve with
a sauce made of melted butter to
which chopped chives, parsley, salt
and pepper and little lemon juice
have been added.
CREAMED OYSTERS IN
PEPPERS.
Cut the stem ends from four
green peppers and remove seeds
and veins. Drop into salted water
that is boiling hard and cook until
tender. Heat one-half pint of oys-
ters in their own liquor until the
edges curl. Drain, reserving liquor
and chop coarsely. Blend table,
spoon butter with l tablespoon flour
and stir in slowly tablespoon
cream, oysters, and the oyster liquor.
Add tablespoons chopped parsley
salt and pepper to taste. Fill pepper
cases with the mixture, cover tops
with breadcrumbs, sprinkle with
cheese and brown tops under broiler
fame.
And last, but far from least, here
is a new and interesting recipe for
that old standby, canned salmon:
SALMON CHALUPAS.
l cup cornmeal.
/ cup boiling water.
l teaspoon salt.
egg (well beaten).
4 pound canned salmon.
u cup American cheese (grated). i.
Mix the cornmeal, boiling water
and salt. Add the well-beaten egg
and salmon and form into patties
for frying. Fry in hot fat. When
brown on both sides sprinkle a
tablespoon of grated cheese on each
pattie and serve with Mexican
sauce and onion slices.
MEXICAN TOMATO SAUCE.
4 tablespoons butter.
2 tablespoons flour.
l onion (finely minced.
" teaspoon ground allspice.
cups tomato puree.
Brown the onion in the butter.
Add the flour and spices and stir
in the tomato puree. Cook until
slightly thickened.

Dorothy Dix Says go
Young Man Should Not Marry
Until He Can Support Wife
continuation.

One Of the most pathetic figures
In the world is the boy whose girl
Is trying to force him into marriage
before he is ready for it. He is in
love with the girl. He believes that
this is the one and only love he will
ever experience, and that his life
will be blighted If anything should
part them. But even in his madness
he he's gleam of sanity that makes
him hesitate to take a wife when
he has no money, no Job, no way
OF supporting her.
The girl. however, has no such
lucid moments. She wants to be
married and to heck with the con-
sequences. So she begs, jollies, per-
suades, weeps, uses every feminine
art Of cajolery upon the boy to make
him marry her right now, imme-
diately. And If he still has back
bone enough to refuse she threatens
him with losing her.
Considering that marriage is no
rose-strevn pathway for even the
woman who marries a man able to
provide for family and that it Is
about the hardest and rockiest road
any woman can elect to travel who
marries boy who cannot even give
her bread and cheese to 90 with his
kisses, 1t is hard to understand why
girls are SO anxious to hunt for
trouble by marrying inpecunious
youths who have not got on their
feet. But they do, and there isn't
day that don't get letters from
desperate lads whose sweeties are
trying to drag them to the altar
against their better judgment and
their desire.
Taking 1t by and large, there is
no truer saying than "a young man
married is q young man marred."
With few exceptions, wedding ring
will sink any boy in his teens because
a wife and children will weigh him
down beyond all possibilities Of his
ever rising to the surface again.
# he marries before he has had
time to fit himself for any lucrative
occupation, he has to take whatever
poor Job is offered him, and he can
never even give that up to hunt for
better one because with a family
to be fed and housed and clothed
he dare not risk even losing one
days pay.

r. E. L.
Answer:
II you were doing your room in
period style I might suggest that
you use some other fabric, but as
your sofa is modern and the green
rep certainly is not in bad taste, my
advice would be to 60 ahead. The
color and the material are practical
and long wearing, and a soft green
will be very nice with your red rugs.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
How may the gray spots made by
hot dishes be removed from q dark
oak table? MY.
Answer:
For temporary relief you may rub
over the spots gently with soft
cloth moistened with spirits of cam
phor. The spot will turn dark again.
Then polish 1t with good oil furni-
ture polish. This is not recon-
mended for permanent finish as it
will destroy the varnish, but 1t is a
good quick remedy until such time
as you have your table top refinished
and q mar-proof finish on 1t.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have heard that there are new
window panes that do not frost or
steam. Do you know anything about
them? What is the theory Of con-
struction which prevents the mois-
ture from forming?
Answer:
I imagine that you have in mind
the Thermopane unit. This is really
two panes Of glass Theoretically
sealed in a metal frame and the
space between filled with dehydrated
air. This practically reduces con-
densation and is fully insulating. 1t
is the old idea of the storm window
made thoroughly efficient, and it
seems that by. this method whole
sides of houses could be made of
glass and still be comfortably warm.
Some day we may get over the idea
Of using windows with small panes
Of glass and thereby reduce the
number of cracks through which
the breezes may pass. Thermopane
windows come in several styles to
fit various types of openings.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have grass terrace outside my
dining room which I use at breakfast
and tea time in the summer. I
would like to have a permanent
electrical outlet here for equipment.
Is it possible to install one of these
where it will be exposed to the
weather? HARRY v. T.
Answer:
You may purchase a waterproof
switch and outlet which can be so
closed as to protect 1t from the
weather. This, think, is just what
you are looking for, and any con-
tractor will install it for you. There
are regulations about wiring that is
to be exposed to the weather which
your electrician will know about.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have Venetian blinds in my nv-
ing room which are cream color liks
the woodwork. The tapes on these
have become soiled. Is it possible
to have new tapes installed without
taking down the whole shade? I
would also like to use a color this
time.
MRS. K. J.
Answer:
There is tape made for this pur-
pose that has an adhesive backing,
comes in variety of colors and all
you have to do is stick it on over
the old one. You will find this at
the larger stores and at those spe-
cializing In shade fixtures and And
ings. It Is easily removed in case you
wish to change the color scheme at
any time.
