Bear Mrs. Post: 1 have been taking s girl out for the greater part of two years, We always have to take her mother or sister (or both) with us, no matter whether It to to the movies or for s ride In my car—and I might add st ray expense. I have com plained to the girl and she says if l | like her as much as I pretend, I won't mind.

D EAR Mrs. Post: Is the word “lady" more correct than “worn- an" when telling some one that “there Is s (Waok > c«H«tg <m the telephone?* 1 The word doesn’t seem to have any real significance any longer If I am to judge by the many females wiio are called “lady" sad who don’t know any more about following ‘the code of a lady for genttemnnt“ than p know | about building skyscrapers, when my business Is to design draperies for their many windows Is any woman a “lady" nowadays? • Answer: The term, which once denoted a person of breeding and cul tivation, long ago deteriorated Into meaning nothing more than a female of respectable appearance. Conse quently those who have clearest right to the title speak of themselves and their friends as women. One should, however, always say “a lady oa the telephone." You would also say, “I am making curtains for a lady In Chi cago." ' • • • J Dear Mrs. Post: Our neighbors are very Inconsiderate. My husband works every evening until eleven o'clock and would enjoy sleeping until eight o’clock next morning. But It is next to Impossible to get any sleep after afar o'clock because thetr smalt children are not disciplined at all, and the mother never tells them to be quiet, or keeps them from climbing the fence lntd bur yard. In fact, she herself slams doors and yells. Isn’t there anything ve can do to mend their habits and yet keep the neigh borhood In an amiable state? We can't move, so don’t advise that Answer: When neighbors are in considerate nothing can be done'^fr cept to call on the board of health (or whatever local official deals with such matters).
