GARY EDITOR CALLS CHICAGO
DANGEROUS PLACE

The postmaster of Gary, who is
also the editor of the Gary Evening
Post, yesterday advocated request
ing the president to send troops to
Chicago to suppress crime instead of
paying their railroad fare to Mexico.
Some time ago." H. B. Snyder
says, big Bill criticised and lectured
president for not sending troops to
Mexico, yet since he has been mayor
more people have been killed, outrag-
ed and robbed in Chicago that there
have been in Mexico in the same
length of time. There is less danger
for Americans in Mexico than there is
for Americans in Chicago"

Director of Pratt Library.
Miss Plummer came to Pratt In 1890
as director of the Pratt Free Library.
Five years later she organized the
courses In library training at Pratt.
which have since rivaled those of the
original school at Albany. She remained
at the head OF that work until 1911. when
she was drafted to take charge of the
larger library school Of the New York
Public Library. At. Pratt she organized
the highly important work OF making
children familiar with books. and one
OF the women whom she trained In that
work IL now the head Of all the chill

BY THE CHAPERON.

Dear Chaperon: I am a bride, and
want some advice about entertaining.
Whom should l entertain first? All
my relatives and friends seem to
think I should ask them to dinner
or luncheon together with ali their
friends. Ever since have been mar
ried II seems that procession of
folks have been In my home. and I
do nothing but exhibit my gifts and
cook meals. do not want to be
disagreeable. but what shall ! do?
BRIDE.
TITLE bride. you are. being put
through the acid test which most
- brides who have many relatives
and friends go through the first month";
they are married. Each relative and
each friend seems to think that he Is a
special person and does not stop to
realize \ how many others are taking
your tinne and attention.
Do not let It worry you. Have your
parents to dinner and try to invite your
most intimate friends. but do not feel
that you are duty bound to entertain
every one you know.
One very easy way Is to have a Sun
day afternoon tea, for then you may
invite men and women In numbers. This
sort of a party is very simple for the
hostess. Serve tea, coffee. or chocolate
or all three. and sandwiches. cake OF
almost any sort OF simple tea dainty.

mourned In Brooklyn, where for twenty
years she did pioneer work in extending
