Day and night Red- dy had been hunting, with only a little rest now and then. There were five growing little Foxes to be fed, and it was amazing how much they could eat. It sometimes seemed to Reddy that their appetites never does a lot of hunting for the children, too, but she can’t do it all.” “I've got a bigger family than you have, but I don’t worry about it,” said Jimmy Skunk. “I have seven chil- dren—at least I had seven the last time I saw them.” “When was that?” asked Reddy. “Oh, & week or so ago,” replied Jimmy carelessly. Reddy opened his eyes with sur- prise. “Do you mean to tell me that you haven't seen them for a week or two?” said he. Little Benny BY LEE PAPE.

Answer—Unless the matter about which you are seeking his advice is something of financial importance to him or unless this man is greatly beholden to your husband, it would be unreasonable to expect a busy man to drop his work and go to a hotel to see you. Correctly you should write him a note explaining as briefly as possible what you want to consult | him about, and ask that his secretary telephone you to arrange an appoint- ment at his office. Dear Mrs. Post: I wish to give a| young man in my employ a check | for a wedding present and am only | slightly acquainted with his bride. To whom ought I give the check? Answer— Give it to the bridegroom in this case, since only a bride’s own employers or relatives or very inti- mate friends may properly send money | to her. Dear Mrs. Post: Mr. A. and Miss B. | have known each other since earliest childhood and have always called each other by their first names. A friend of Miss B.’s told her that now, since they are associates in a large business office, he should call her Miss B. during business hours. Is such an unnatural practice necessary, or even good taste? Answer—“Miss B.” and “Mr. A" s the proper form in business hours. An office should be run on military principles. Nothing, therefore, lowers the standing of a supposedly impor- tant firm more than just such laxity as permitting first names to be tossed back and forth. When not in the presence of other business associates, or, even more particularly, clients or customers, clerks, as well as members of the firm call each other what names they please—if they are not likely to lapse before others—but this is so difficult to avoid that in offices of great importance Mister and Miss are exacted as a matter of precaution, even between nearest relatives. “Sonnysayings what sharply. | ently Jimmy Skunk came shuffling | these days. | plied Reddy. | politely. | you? | hunting?"” food that Peter Rabbit and Johnny Chuck liked, food that could be easily gotten.

Their mother is bound to take care of them, anyway, so why should I bother? The trouble with you, Reddy Fox, is that you have spoiled Mrs. Reddy and the children. You have made them think that they can lay back and let you do all the work. Now, look at me. I go about where I please, and when I please, and have no home cares. That's the way for a sensible father to do. When the children get big enough to travel around I'll show them about. What more can they ask?” Reddy shook his head. “If you call that being a father,” said he, “I don't.” “Everybody to his own opinion,” said Jimmy. “You're footsore and tired out and you're getting as thin as a shadow. Is it worth it?” “Yes,” snapped Reddy. (Copyright. 1935.) olly Polly A Little Chat on English BY JOS. J. FRISCH. UNCLE BILL IS EMPLOYED ON A PWA JOB AND UNCLE FRED SN'T WORKING EITHER. M.
