for these unfortunate victims of
circumstance. Immediate needs
are such a shelter, a decent and
sanitary dog pound, funds for
medical care emergency work and
the advertising of animals and
for the employment of a humane
agent.

• Emily Post
Many other readers ot the press
must, at some time, be in this
dilemma: ‘ When writing to some
one who has a by-line, should an
envelope for example be ad
dressed to Miss Emily Post or Mrs
Emily Post? I happen to know
that you are Mrs. Post and yet I
also happen to know that you say
Mrs. Emily is not good form
Moreover. I sometimes address en
velopes to other columnists whose
marital status I don’t know. What
does one do in such cases?”
Mrs. Emily Post is entirely
proper when the letter, or any
reference to me. is not a social
one. I realize, of course, that I
am best known merely as Emily
Post, but just the same I must
admit that an occasional envelope
addressed to Miss Post always
rather annoys me because I never
was “Miss” Post. Moreover, every
letter in my column always begins
“Dear Mrs. Post.”
Break or Cut Roll
Dear Mrs. Post: Should a hard
roll be broken in small mouth-size
bites and then buttered as eaten,
or may a large piece be buttered
at one time?
Answer: A piece of two- or
three-bite size is best. Butter
only enough ior one bite Bite that
off: butter a second bite, and
later the third.
Modern Girl's Cords
Dear Mrs. Post: When does the
modern girl just out of high school
have need for visiting cards?
Answer: Probably there are few
times when she would find it a
handicap not to have her own
cards—unless she lives in Wash
incton or is a member of an old*
fashioned family which follows
the formalities. The principal
use for the card of today i* for
the wntinc and answering of in
formal invitations and enciosinf
with flowers or presents.
Mrs. Post is sorry she cannot
answer personal mail. W’hrn
writing a letter one should
choose his words tersely—they
reveal so many traits of char
acter. Notes for carious occa
sions are inciluded in Mrs. Post s
