Expressing a dislike for the word etiquette “because it is usually taken to mean such things as choosing the right fork at the right time,” Mrs. Post admitted she was frequently guilty of picking up the wrong fork because she was both absent-minded and near-sighted. Her latest etiquette problem? It's that of letting the modern woman pay part of the entertainment check. The practice, Mrs. Post said, is no longer formally outlawed. .- Profitable crops cannot generally FAIRBANKS MAN DIES News has been received here of the recent death of Abraham Sim- son, pioneer merchant of Fairbanks, who died in Seattle recently.
