TOOTING
CAR
HORN TO HAIL GIRL IS NOT NECESSARILY BAD-
MANNERED
The direct transcription of a
letter on paper headed with the Greek letters of a Fraternity, follows:
"Will you settle this question, Mrs. Post? Today I
was bawled out by my roommate because I tooted the horn of my car to
attract the attention of a girl I knoew very well who was walking on
the sidewalk. It was not a flirtation with a stranger.
It was not sitting out in the car and calling to a girl to
come out. It was jsut - a toot, saying "hellow!"
I can't see anything wrong wit this but this 'brother' of
whom I speak made a howl about it because he said your column bawled
him out last year about tooting at a girl.
"The girl in question is a nice girl and she didn't seem put
out in fact, she stopped, looked around and waved. I was in
heavy traffic and had to drive on because of the change in traffic
lights. Was my behavior that of a gentleman, or was it not?
Please--what's the answer?"
An ordinary short tooting of a horn that sounds like that of
anyone signalling to pass and attracting her attention only because she
recognized its tone does not sound bad mannered, as you describe it.

Often Best to Remain Seated
Dear
Mrs. Post: Our minister's wife, is in the mid-forties, I shouldsay, and ordinarily my daughter who is in
the late twenties, would not be expected to get up to meet another
woman so little older than herself in the house of a friend..
But she met the clergymain's wife the other day for the first
time, and came home asking me what she should have done about getting
up. She said she didn't like to make an exception of her
after not having gotten up for other women even older. I think perhaps
a minister;s wife should be shown this defernece and that she wouldn't
be embarrased because she is used to it.
ANSWER: Your daughter should have stood wto shak ehands with
any of the women. If none offered their hands and they were
introduced from across the room, then she would remain seated. If she
had not met the clergyman's wife previously then I think she should
perhaps have gone forwar to greet her . It certainly would
have been the friendly thing to do
