<h3>"CALL ME 'LINCOLN.'"</h3>
<p>Like the Friends, Abraham Lincoln had a dislike for handles to a name,
and at the first incurred criticism in fastidious Washington circles
by his using the last name and not the Christian one to familiars. To
an intimate friend he appealed:</p>
<p>"Now, call me 'Lincoln,' and I'll promise not to tell of the breach
of etiquette, if <i>you</i> won't (Ah, how well he knew the vanity
of great men's Horatios!), and I shall have a resting spell from
<i>Mister</i> Lincoln!"
