*gasp* Jeeves was WRONG!

According to Miss Manners, handkerchiefs for gentlemen really SHOULD be monogrammed with 2, preferably 3, initials.

The only possible conclusions are that Jeeves let personal preference interfere with propriety, he made a fashion faux pas, or really, REALLY doesn't want any young ladies to have an excuse to see Bertie or think fondly on him more often that absolutely necessary.

Yes, but really, what does Miss Manners know anyway? It's all opinion and I would go with Jeeves' opinions over her's any day. And certainly any lady worthy of the young master's acquaintance should be able to remember who had given her a handkerchief at any time. Knowing more than one "B" or "W" indeed! What is next? The embroidering of full name and address on each and every handkerchief to better accomodate ladies of a forgetful nature? Perhaps a map as well?

Now knock that off! The map to Bertie is giving me ideas and my schedule won't allow it! ;)
