TT MAY be that most of the non.
L combatants and bystanders know
nothing about it.
But even those who do admit tina,
even in yacht race a time allowance
or a handicap arrangement of any sort
takes away the championship feature.
In sport no championship is run by
a handicap system. There is no reason
whatsoever why two yachts shouldn't
start from scratch. with n standard
measurement or limit set for a cham.
pionship test. No other arrangement
will ever be taken as any true test.
SEVERAL have made the remark tha,
~ iuasmuch as the Resolute broke down
under her first test, the race should
have been called off. Isn't stamina a.
much a part Of any race as speed? This
idea of calling off any race decided under
such conditions is, of course, the final
word in n piff1e. The race goes and
should go to the entry who crosses the
winning line In front. who has the
needed mixture of speed and stamina
to get there in time.

The Right Thing
at the Right Time
By MARY MARSHALL $. DUFFKE.

When u man asks friend to be an
usher at his wedding it is an indication
of a feeling Of warm personal attachment
and esteem and the request should be
taken as such.
However, IL for any reason when you
receive such request you find that you
can not conveniently comply you should
not hesitate TO decline, stating OF course,
your reason for so doing Il the BRIDE
groom tO-be IS a person whose acquaint-
ansce you value highly.
Sometimes. OK course, young persons
with more wealth than social position
aad more mere ccquaintances than real
friends. will ask young man whom
they know but slightly, but who would
be a social asset. to act In this capacity.
In this case the one requested would
far better decline than to perform the
duties Of usher while In his heart he
is annoyed at the request.
Whatever he decides 90 do he should
decide within three or four days Of the
request.
In formal society, shortly after this
the chosen usher makes n more or less
formal call upon the BRIDE be and her
mother. or II he has not met them he
asks the bridegroom to take him to
call.
After this hi9 role is to await further
Instructions from the bride and her
mother or from the bridegroom.
Matters OF dress are settled by the
bridegroom and discussed among the
other ushers.
From the brides family he receives in
structlons rs to the exact time for his
arrival at the church or house the day
OF the ceremony. and plans for a re-
hearsal.
Nothing excuses the usher from send
ing the bride a wedding present though
II he IS not well able to do 50 he should
not make Il a matter OF very great cost.
Although ushers are chosen by the
bridegroom, they take ell Instructions
from the bride or her mother and they
should bear in mind that they are the
guests Of the brides family and In no
way Of the bridegroom during the
wedding.
Sometimes ushers offer their arms to
women guests whom they are to seat
but this Is not always done. 1t is nee
cssary. therefore, for the usher 10 learn
from the brides mother or the bride
what is her wish IN this matter and then
to carry 1t out
The ushers should make a formal call
upon the brides mother following the
wedding.
The usher should also learn the time
Of the return OF the bFide and groom
after their wedding trip and should make
