PRESENTED TO AN OLDER WO-
MAN

A young woman always rises when
being presented to an older woman, and
some faddists have adopted the Eng
lish rule of not introducing persons
who come together in the drawing
room, the theory being that as they
meet in the hostess home introduc-
lions are not necessary. While the
broad basis is correct, that the hos
tess friends are also those CT her
guests, some persons find themselves
embarrassed when confronted by peri
feet strangers, whose names they do
not even know
1t is always the part of good form
to speak to any person, man or wo-
man whom one finds in the same
drawing room. This rule is not to BIO
applied to dances or gatherings in
big halls, and two strangers, who
speak then commit a very ill-bred act.

bons, laces and jewels, and ii is still the Gus

EDUCATION CRIMES GREATEST FOE.
By James Arson Farrer.

BY James Arson Farfef.
Would you prevent crimes, then cause the
laws to be clear and simple. Make the laws
to favor not so much classes of men, but men
themselves. Would you prevent crimes, then
see that enlightenment accompanies liberty.
The evils that flow from knowledge are in
inverse ratio to its diffusion; the benefits di-
rectly proportioned TO it. The surest means
of preventing crimes is TO improve education

STATE LEAGUERS LOSE THREE GAMES Local Bowlers No Match for Hartford Pin Splitters, Who Clean Up in Grand
 Style. BANKS MAKES NEW RECORD

 Watcrbury--Meriden
 Takes Three.
BANKS MAKES NEW REC0RE

Rolling undoubtedly one of the poorest exhibitions of bowling at home of the season the local state league quintet met the Hartford bowlers at the Acadamy alleys last evening and were walloped for three straight games, The locals, however, will re- main in first position despite their de- feat, but their lead over the capital city team has been materially cut down.
 The Hartford bowlers clearly out classed the local pin splitters at every stage of the match and were deserving of the clean sweep which they carried home. The first game was carried off by the visitors in easy style, the New Haven men failing to bowl above the 900 mark. The second as well as the third went the same way and despite q tenth frame rally on the part of the home team in the last game in which neither the Big Chief" nor the King Splitter" could save at least a single game.
 Collett rolled most miserably for the NeW Haven team. HIS plu splLtiHS would hardly do justice to a Bush leaguer," and unless the former bike" champion starts something hls time in the state league will be of short dura- ton. Huber was the best roller for the locals securing high three string total of 572, Butch" Weber however, was closely after him with 571, which score was due to his show ing in the last game in which he captured not only high single for the home team, but also high single of the match with 216 Chamberlain of the visitors deserves the honor neverthe- less of high three string total, as his score of sos was we'll out of reach of any of the Elm City bowlers.

POOL MATCH IS OFF
Police Prevent Game Between Local Player and Champion
 To Be Run To night.

The pool match between Albert Trudo, the local expert and Frank McKervey, the far-famed one-handed champion of the world, which was to have been played at Walman's pool parlors, last evening, was stopped by the police. The reason for the des- cent of the minions of the law was duo to the fact that the proprietor of the pool parlors, Walter Walman, had again failed to secure the neces- sary permit.
 His last endeavor to run sporting card of any description whatsoever was some two weeks ago when he as one of the packers of the New Haven Young Mems Athletic club had made arrangements for a boxing card on which the lid was brought down on the night of the exhibition, ,.
 The rule as regards the running of an entertainment of any description to which admission is charged Is that the packers of the exhibition must se- cure permit signed by the mayor, chief of police and chief of the fire department This MT. Walman failed to do and as he was charging admis- sion nothing remained for the authori- ties to do but prevent the show. This they accordingly did.

 Despite this clever rolling however the home team managed 10 capture one game, the second, when through the good work of c. Beardsley and Stokes, they rolled a score of a26.
