TWO GOLDFISHES.
Matters Of proprlety

Dear Cynthia--When a girl friend
calls to your home with gentleman
friend is IL proper for the hostess to
invite the gentleman 10 dinner or is It
his lady friends place? Is II proper TO
let her come to the dining room alone
while he sits in the parlor alone?
When IL girl has corresponded with a
gentleman for about six months ana she
suddenly stops, Is It proper for her to
write after four months, In which she
did not write on account OF being sick.
TO tell him she has been sick and to
pardon her? or IL It the gentleman $
place to write and find out the trouble? ?
Answer soon. lNQUlSlllNE'
Taking It for granted that the young
woman has been asked TO dinner before
going to the house. :he young man who
goes there with her should not go in
with her, II II is near dinner time. II
Il Is earlier and he stops to call on the
hostess for a few minutes, It would be
all right for him to remain to dinner.
providing the hostess asks him to re.
main. The woman guest should never
invite any one to remain for dinner In
another persons house. II no invitation
is forthcoming land there Is really no

for dinner. It would be shocking bad
form for him TO remain II not invited
to do so. And certainly to remain In
the parlor while the others go to dinner
would be quite unheard of.
II an attack of illness has prevented
correspondence. II would be quite all
right 10 write when able TO do 10, espe-
cially II the mans last letter was un-
answered. II the man does not take up
the correspondence again, let 1t drop.

SAYS HITTING IS
SPOILINC BASEBALL
(By Associated Press)

Chicago. June 4-Heavy hit
ting is spelling baseball, Manager
Johnny Evers of the Chicago
Cubs. believes.
"The hard hitting is making.
life miserable for the inhcldcrS
and spelling the game" said Mr..
Evers. 'The balls come down to
the players so fast that there is
a great danger of a man getting
hurt and the rlayers can't afford
to take the chances they used TO
take on bad hoppers.
"Unconsciously the inhclders
arc getting into the habit Of turn
ing and fielding the ball sideways
so as to avoid a possible acci-
dent. for they know the balls are
hit SO hard now that a bad hop
into the face would result in a
broken jaw.
Half dozen players have been
hurt already this season by being
hit by batted balls and some Of
them were injured SO badly that
they were out OF the game for
many days.
"The clean fielding Of few
years ago, is impossible. They say
the ball isn't any livilier, but it
must be or it wouldn't travel SO
fast.
Pulling an infeld in to cut off
a runner at the plate when man
is on third with none or one ont
is almost suicide now. When
that close to the batter, the in
fielder is just trusting to provi
dence that he doesn't get hurt.
