Lucky Mr Millett

Sir: I am not widowed. I am not divorced. In fact, I am delighted to be my husband's wife and proud to bear his name.

I do wish, therefore, that women such as Ms Christine Costello (Letters, 4 Novem- ber) would refrain from assuming that all members of her sex share her ignorant views on what is a matter of basic etiquette. Mrs David Millett
