Dear Abby

By Abigail Van Buren

© 1678 by Chicago Tribune-N.Y. News Syn, ine

DEAR ABBY: Ina recent letter from one who signed
himself “Reverend L.W. Van Dellen,” you replied,
“Dear Reverend Van Dellen."

Abby, “Reverend” is not a title like ‘‘Doctor” or

- “Rabbi” or “Father,” It is an adjective descriptive of
The World Alma ms ea it this way: “A cl

: or mac pu way: “A clergyman

- Should never be referred to as “‘A Reverend," or ad-
dressed as ‘Reverend Blank.”

“Reverend” should be used only as '‘‘Honorable” is

used. Tt ls “The Reverend Mr. Blank," or “The
. Reverend Dr. Blank,” but never “Reverend Blank."

Please Abby, never address a clergyman as
“Reverend Anybody.” It’s simply not done.
YOUR FAITHFUL FAN IN L.A.

DEAR FAITHFUL: Ten whacks for me with a stack
of “Presbyterian Outlooks,” from whence came this
appropriate jingle:

“There is o certain fellow

Who makes me want to burst,

He never fails to hail me with,

‘Hello, Reverend Hurst!’

If two things make bad syntax,
This one is the first.
When some guy introduces me with,

‘This is Reverend Hurst,"

As just a common ‘Mister’

Vd acknowledge him to durst;

But I would ike te punch the man
” Who calls me ‘Reverend Hurat'."*

» DEAR ABBY; I work in a mail order house, and

‘ould you believe that about 20 percent of the people
who place an order send us cash—and forget to send
their names and addresses?

We have no idea who they are or where they live. We
could just cry, Ail we can do is walt until they write
again, complaining that they have not recelved their
order, then we can fill it.

Please print this. It may help.

FRUSTRATED IN CHICAGO

DEAR FRUSTRATED: Move over. I, too, am
distressed when a desperate reader writes with an
urgent and serious problem, but neglects to send his
address, Freud said, “There are no accidents’. I
sometimes wonder.

CONFIDENTIAL TO B.B.: Money talks. Save some
before it says goodbye.

Problems? You'll feel better if you get them off your
chest. For a personal reply write to Abby, Box 69709,
Los Angeles, Cal. 90062. Please enclose stamped, self-
addressed envelope. '
