Dear Miss Fairfax and Navy Furloughs in Wartime Society
A collage of wartime social questions. Readers seek guidance on furloughs and leave rules for service members, proper wedding invitation wording, and appropriate conduct when a spouse is deployed. The letters discuss Marines and Navy terminology, husbands who stray, and etiquette for homefront arrangements.
