Who lUrOte-
The ANONYMOUS Letter

6LJERE'S an amusing little mys-
II tcry," said Harvey Hunt. He
handed DeKyne a letter he had just
received. with an inclosure. The letter
was from DR.. Elizabeth Frobish, one Of
the foremost women physicians in the
city. 1t was typed on the Doctors let
terhead. 1t was brief and to the point
Dear Mr.. Hunt" it read, II am
inclosing an anonymous note which l
received this morning. 1t il very an
ncying. viii you undertake 20 find out
for me who is the writeri Yours very
truly. Elizabeth Frobish. NJ. D.
The anonymous note inclosed with the
letter evidently had been written on
common wrapping paper, cut to size. 1t
read:
Your scandalous conduct with Mr..
Reuben Danzman, one of your patients,
has been observed. Do not think for
one minute that q professional woman
in your position can get away with 1t.
You might conceiyably induce Mr..
Danaman to marry you. but you know
you could not make him happy. I'm
less you cease your attempts to lure him
into matrmony you will regret It.
There are things that he could be told
that would turn him from you in dis
gust. and unless you cease your at
tempts they will be told to him

As DeKyne finished reading the two
men broke into a roar Of laughter.

The scissors are mightier than the
needle. We are tempted to alter the
old proverb when we note how much
incisions and applique work contribute
70 the modern garment. For example,
the blouse of jade georgette illustrated
today depends for its distinction not
so much upon tho all lover design of
beige floss embroidery as upon the snip
ming away of collar and peplum into ir-
regular sections. The fringe is Of beige
floss. and the accompanying taffeta
skirt Is in the same tone.

THE WOMAN WHO CONSIDERS I
THAT HER LIFE IS A FAILURE
Is afflicted With Either Bad Health Too Much Spare Time
II She Were Busy She Wouldn't Be Able to Worry

A MAN recently wrote to the news
"A paper about the discomfort Of his
wife.
He told Of various good deeds that she
has done and is doing all the time,
church work Of various kinds, Red
Cross work. sending a cripple to the
scashore every summer, nursing her
mother, her husband and her daughter
through illnesses, and In the meantime
attending to her home and bringing up
two daughters.
And recently she read one Of those
books which urges introspection and
other high sounding things.
'My life is a complete failure" she
sighed when she finished It. "bccause
I have done nothing worth while"
Another woman, having read the
husbands letter, wrote one herself, In
which she sympathlzcd with this wife.
"All her work has been on the emo
tional side OF her life," she declared.
''She wants something on the creative
side. Women should have more chance
to develop this creative side, to create
in business. writing, art and music"
Still another woman remarked
EITHER she has too much spare time
to spend in reading silly books and
brooding over them, or else she is no,
we'll"
And that is a very sensible way oi
looking at it.
IF YOU follow the advice of some per-
i sons you won't do anything but
brood about yourself.
II must find myself you will cry
despairingly. II must decide what my
life work is to be, I must do something
worth while"
And while you are indulging in thi,
introspcction something worth while
comes along in very homely, humble
inconspicuous garland you are 81
busy wondering about yourself that yot
don't see It at all.
You become SO self csntered. will

 A double header is scheduled for this afternoon. and a single game is on tap for Saturday. Unless the weather again so foully rohs the Barons, as it did during the last Baron-Chiek series, the series should end decisively in favor of one or the other of the two teams.
 Out for Blood
 Magic City fans are no doubt wondering with what feelings the Chicks blow into town today. When they left Birmingham not so long ago, they must have stolen forth as quietly as possible, for no honor had been achieved on that invasion. Hoots and jeers of the fan flocks were still ringing in their ears as they flagged their sleepers for Mem phis, after successfully staging one of the most infamous stalls ever pulled in the Southern league,
 It will be a long time before fans forget how the league leaders pull ed one over on them that time, and for that reason the stands will no doubt be crowded with noisy human ity this afternoon as the bugs turn out to administer the grand razz to the visiting aggregation.
 No double header is scheduled Tor today, but two games are being play ed as the tie game of the last series must be played off.
 A Few Ifs
 If the Barons win all three games from the Chicks-and stranger things have happened-they will have cut the Tribesmen's lead to five and half games, a lead which should be cut down altogether later on, if, of course, the Barons should happen to win all three from the Chicks this week end.
 If the Barons cop the series ever the two out-of three route the Chicks will have seven and a hall lead over Moleys men. If the Chicks win the series in the manner above stated, they will increase their lead to nine and a half games, and if they make a clean sweep of the series they will go away out in front with an eleven and a half games lead and the Barons would be about ready to take the count.
 However, it would be the most sur prising thing that some hundred thousand fans ever witnessed in their lives if the Chicks should make a clean sweep of the present series.
 Doc Newton will probably pitch the first game today, opposing prop ably either Mohart or Marks.
 Newton and Whitehiil
 In the second game, Earl Wblte' hill may oppose Zahniser, althousf this Chick hurler pitched only two days ago. However, in times Of neeo' rushing a pitcher is small matter If Zahniser doesn't pitch the secono game. then the one of the two--Mo hart and Marks-who doesn't wofk in the first game will probably start the second.
