We are trying to find out the title of an old book. My understanding is that there is a widow and 3 children that love to solve mysteries. They have developed their own secret language called King Tut. Any ideas?

I swore I would stay out of this, but the few times I have been called
"Chief" or "Boss" I took the terms as being derogatory. Maybe the tone
of voice of the speaker caused that.

For that matter I'm a little puzzled as to how "sir" or "ma'am" became
impolite.
Is it the tone? I was always taught that these were the correct ways to
address people you were not on a casual basis with or who's prefferd
name/title was unknown to you. Patrons, particularly those of less material
means seem to appreciate the terms as marks of respect.

It is interesting to deconstruct this a bit: "Hon" and
"sweetie" correspond to stereotypical views of the
female in society. Hons and sweeties are pleasant and
concerned with pleasing others. They are sweet-tempered.
And -- dare I say? -- compliant.
But when a patron sees a male at the desk and calls
him "chief" or "boss," the subtext couldn't be clearer:
You are the only male I see here; you must be the one
in charge.
I have had it happen to me. (And the notion that I, Joe
Schallan -- who has suggested that we obtain a library
cow instead of cat, who has provided instructions
on how to blow up patrons who try to come behind the
desk to get stuff, who has worked out the details of
how to burn donated books to heat the building, and
who has created the Canonical List of Snappy Rejoinders
to the Question Do You Work Here -- would be in charge,
well, both boggles and frightens the mind.)
But it is interesting. We can pass nondiscrimination
statutes and ordinances until we turn blue and pass out,
but only when a patron as easily assumes that my
female colleague can be "chief" or "boss" as I can, will
we have made any headway in regard to gender and roles.
Back to pet names . . .
We have a gentleman perhaps in his 70s or even early
80s who comes regularly to read the papers, work on
Ancestry.com, and other assorted endeavors, who always
calls me "young man."
Having just turned 57, I can tell you that this is greatly
appreciated!

I'm glad that someone else has said this. The implication that "sir" or
"ma'am" is somehow impolite is new to me and my parents and grandparents
would find it quite surprising as well (and we're definitely not
Southern). Anything can be said with a derogatory tone, but I've never
had a patron express difficulty with "sir" or "ma'am" and the kids
definitely liked it.

nothing about King Tut. She solves mysteries with her best friend and

Joe, I agree with Ruth. I want to see these lists. Every one of them
could come in handy. Number 2 would be especially great when one has
budget cuts. All those moldy, falling apart books, plus the RD
condensed books.

Thanks Colleen. I haven't read entire the Churchill series. Maybe Tom has it with Home Sweet Homicide. F ollowing is from a review by Mark McGlone:
Home Sweet Homicide / by Craig Rice "Three children of a widowed mystery writer strives to solve the murder next door - to get their mother some publicity (and maybe a love interest). This is a great read! Read it years ago and adopted the children's secret language to use with my friends."
Sandy Pratt, Deputy Director
Coeur d'Alene Public Library
I just read the Jill Churchill books with Jane Jeffry and there is
nothing about King Tut. She solves mysteries with her best friend and
neighbor, Shelly, not Jane's kids.

I'd like to know if any film buffs recognize this film description. The
problem is I don't know if it was a theatrical release or possibly a
television movie (perhaps an old "Playhouse 90" or similar teleplay).
This is all I have to go on:
The patron is in her 60s and remembers seeing this when she was young.
She believes this movie came out sometime after "Miracle on 34th Street"
(which was in 1947) so sometime in the late '40s or probably '50s.
She thought the title was "Miracle on 42nd Street" but I can't find
anything by that name.
She remembers that it had a Christmas theme. It involved a big old
mansion in NYC. The man who lived there and owned the mansion had a
white beard and looked sort of like Santa Claus. The mansion was opened
up to many different street people, bums, homeless, etc. who spent
Christmas there.
I'm sure there was more to it but that's the general gist of it.
Does any of this ring a bell with anyone?
Thanks!

Could it be "It Happened on 5th Avenue" (1947)? See: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039502/

Thank You! I think that might be it. It certainly sounds like it.

Funny, I was raised believing that *not* addressing someone older than me
(whether it was my mother or a stranger) as "sir" or "ma'am" showed a lack
of manners on my part. I entered into adulthood long ago, but my father
would still be surprised and displeased if I forgot to address someone in
this formal way. And yes, we are from the south.
