ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS
Puzzled! —Don’t worry. E.G. —Consult any ordinary book of reference, and remember that you have more time for doing so than we have. Aline. —No demand for short stories at present. In view of the approach of the spring we also warn springpoets not to break out in our direction. Send your efforts to your local Member of Parliament. If they are any good they may improve him; if they are not he deserves what he gets. Reader. —You are quite right. People who are particular about such things do not say “serviette.” Napkin is the word to use. “Serviette” is in the same class as wearing cuffs with soft shirts and readymade ties rather than the proper kind.
