What is the meaning of a “bread and butter” letter? A. This is a letter of genuine appreciation, written to one's hostess after a visit in her home, regardless of whether a guest for a month, a weekend, or just overnight. Q. Isn't it considered rude to interrupt a conversation in order to introduce another person? A. Yes; it is ill-bred to do so. Q. When a man meets a woman on the street, is it sufficient for him to touch the brim of his hat? A. No; this is a very lazy gesture on his part. He should always lift his hat. —— |’ LOOK and LEARN by A. C. GORDON Frances Paul and Mr. Ehler ac-| He walked up the last five flights 1.
