from her husband Myron H. Terry
alleging abandonment as the specific

company from the commissions due
him on policies written. J. NJ. French

Try TO GUST HEARST.
Protest Filed Against Printing His
Name on the Ballot.

New York, Oct. 21.=The feature of
the political situation here today was
the filing with the board of elections
of the city Of a general blanket pro-
test addressed against the so-called
municipal ownership candidates,
headed by Congressman William Ran
dOlph Hearst and demanding that
their names do not appear on the Of
fetal ballot on the ground that the
men who signed the petitions were
for the most part regularly enrolled
Republicans or Democrats and that
the election laws of the state do not
permit of the recognition of spite"
candidates.
The haoring before the board today
was decidedly technical in character,
the attorneys for the Hearst candidates
headed by Melvin Pallister, contending
for the regularity of their ticket and
the opposing attorneys quoting large
sections of the primary and election
laws in defense of their position. The
board viii render a decision later but
it is expected that it viii be in favor of
the Hearst candidates. In fact, that
was the general belief of the attorneys
on both sides. who figure the present
contest is brought for the purpose of
throwing the entire controversy into
the counts and securing a decision that
viii clear up this section of the cleo
ton laws, which has always been more
or less vague.

chance that the person with whom you
are playing has a broader knowledge of
the game than yourself.
Expert card players prefer that all
question as to which would have been
the better play in this or that case, be
reserved until the end of the game or
rubber.
A mistake very common with the am
ateur at cards is to remark, II wonder
who dealt this hand?' or I've never
seen anything to equal thisi" Few per-
sons either men or women, have sur
ffcient control over the muscles OF their
face not to evidence dissatisfa or
pleasure when they are holding cards
exclaim. In many cases such a remark
gives a clue to the partner as to what
should be played and is unfair to the
opponents.
so that the person or persons sitting be-
side you viii not be obliged to rivet
their eyes straight ahead Of them to
avoid seeing what you hold You Ger
tainly would consider it unfair if they
took advantage of the knowledge OBJ
tanned IN this way. Consequently it is
only polite that you be careful to keep
the face of your cards where you alone
can see them.
When Refreshments Are Served.
Whether during or after the evening
play, your partner at the previous game
is also your partner for supper At the
division of prizes be careful to show
no sign of your disappointment if you
have been unluclzy in having poor part
ners. There is no surer mark of a true
gentleman or lady than the ability to
lose at cards gracefully.
Many new acquaintance are made at
these informal evenings and the ques-
ton of intrOductions and future friend
ship always arises. Guests should shake
hands with host and hostess, both when
they arrive and as they are leaving. If
a girl is introduced to a man, unless
they have both heard of each other be-
fore, it is proper for her to bow slightly
with smile or greeting. Hand shak-
ing is not considered in best form. I'M
less man or woman is much older than
the girl. Should she be seated when the
introduction is made, there is no occa-
sion for her to rise except out of re-
spect to superior age. Men always shake
hands with each other when introduced.
As to continuing an acquaintance made
at informal gatherings, American life in
cities is SO cosmopolitan that each per-
son has to have a standard of friend
ships of their own. The fact that you
meet persons at the house of a friend
does not always signify that you would
care to have them on your visiting list.
A girl under twenty five should never
ask man to call on one evenings ac-
quaintance, unless her mother or
chaperone is with her and extends the
invitation first Neither should a man
place a girl in the embarrassing position
of having TO refuse his request that he
may cali
Never display personal disIikes while
enjoying another persons hospitality If
you meet deadly enemies, either bust
ness or social, do not give your hostess
or her guests the discomfort of any dis
politely and drop your grievances for
the evening.
