 Invitations to weddings and other ceremonious functions are usually enclosed in two envelopes, the inner one being left unsealed and bearing only the names of the persons in- vited, while the outer one is used TOT the name and mailing address, In writing the guests names on the cards and in addressing invita- tions it is well to remember that where the full name is written on the envelope addressed to the guest, it is not repeated on the card in side. In other words, the persons who are sending the invitation have their full name on the card inside, lut not the guests full name In answering invitations the guest should use his full name on the an- Swer but not that of his potential hosts.
 The formal acceptance to any in- vitaticn, whether it be to dinner, wedding or dance, is the same: MT. and Mrs. Carlton French

To upstart Wealth's averted eye;

To frozen hearts and hasting feet;
To those who 60, and those who come;
Goodbye, proud world! I'm going home.

THE PEOPLES CHOICE"
F. v. WHITE.
Notary Public.
Who'll we get to run :"

w nv ~ W So W All
For months, this has been the secret
query of the Black crowd after it was
apparent that o. 3. had not one shot
in million to win. For once the mys-
FERROUS gentlemen behind the Black re-
gime with its bankrupt treasury and
discredited city hall machine, were up
against it for somebody to be the official
goat. One by one, various names were
suggested as mayoralty timber and one
by one. the prospective victims tearfully
begged to be excused when interviewed.
San Antonio was fine-combed within
that select circle from whence only "the
peoples choice" could come A situa-
ton approaching despair was impending.

WOULD be compelled to announce him
1slf out of the race and~there he stood,
wrapped around with the mantle of his
administration and no sturdy shoulders
to bestow it on.
At. this fateful moment, few slate
makers got together and arranged an
other ticket. The only question at issue
was whether they could make the can

lacked the nerve to wave a second

something had to be done and done

said, the peoples last choice" were
corralled and informed: "Tag, you're it,
"Black, Rieden and Pfeiffer won't
run, we've searched the town over for
somebody to take their places and now
we've come to you. Nobody else will
ruin you've got to. We've got to have

And so "the peoples choice" were put
forth to wage battle for the Black, ad.
ninistration and the empty Golfers and
high taxes and all the rest of the regalia
that goes with "Us Black Boys" at the
city hall.
True, the people may not yet have
learned that their choice has been made

WE ARE NOT ALONE

Sometimes the people of a particular
Texas legislative district wonder where
the people of other districts get the men
they send to the Legislature. However,
we in Texas may take some small COM
fort in the fact that other states have
their troubles in this direction. We are
not the only state that sends gentlemen
with mental myopia and strabismus to
the Legislature to manage Our state at
fairs for us.
Away up in Connecticut, "The Land
of Steady Habits" they are experiencing
difficulties with their legislature. The
existence of STEADY habits" implies the
existence of mental stability for the SIM
pie reason that people who are steady in
their daily behavior may be considered,
in large degree, to be free Of mental
flightiness. Therefore, when people
famous for their steady behavior and
straight thinking let their trolley slip
off the legislative wire it is comforting
to us to know that there "are Others"
Up in Connecticut farming is diff
icfult and precarious undertaking for
the most part. The country is filled
with stones and good deal of it is up
hill In fact it may be said that what
is not uphill is down-hill 1t is re-
ported that at one time there were
thoughts, up in Connecticut, of raising
breed of plowhorses with the legs
shorter on one side than on the other
so that the short legs could travel or
the uphill side of the average Connccti
cut meadow when blowing was in or
| der. Besides, the whole state is no
much larger than the average Texa:
ranch.
However, despite these handicaps to
farming in Connecticut, there arc still
people with gambling blood in thei
veins who cling to the pursuit. Nat
urally, there being farmers in the state
there is farmers bloc" in the state
Also, naturally, this "bloc" wants every
thing arranged to suit the farmer.
Now it happens, that the farmers il
, Connecticut do not care any more thai
do farmers everywhere, for the daylight
saving idea. This means they are agains
, it and against il strong. The daylight
= savings idea does not appeal with an,
5 force to the farmers of the country ant
: it never will. In the manufacturing cen
e tcrs-of which there are many IN Con
: necticut-the daylight savings idea
popular. In such a case as this it woul
r seem the best policy to let the farmer
e do without daylight savings and permi
the mechanics to have it. Producto
S would be the same and everybody woul
d lbc that much more contented. and
