"The humblest person Is entitled to be addressed by Me or her own name, unless by mutea! agreement to the contrary.” This story from "Les Miserables” aptly shows the- other side of the shield. One day a proud cook presented herself to a gentleman for employment . > "What wages do you expect a month?” “Thirty francs.” "What your name?” "Olympic.” "I will give you forty and call you Nico'ette.” That settled things satisfactorily to all concerned. .
