Thanks to Itinerant for sharing MSARLENE plate photo and some special thoughts!

And an old fashioned respectful way of referring to non-familial people is to put a “Miss” or “Mistah” in front of their given name, and they are often known as THAT. Since Arlene is a very common name, “Miss Arlene” is also a common term. In fact, I think there was a song called “Miss Arlene”. :) So, “Miss Arlene” sounds like home to me.
