You are correct. One invita-

you and your husband and a
separate one to your sister. In

should always be sent to the bus-
band and wife together, even il
you do not know them both. The

probably due to carelessness or
disregard. Of social form. Your
personal feeling toward this and
your feeling toward your cousin

Walter Johnson, it appears, is

The famous pitcher is not pass
ing out through lack of ability. He
intends to take flier as mag
nate.
Recently Johnson purchased the
Oakland, Calf, team of the Pacific
Coast League. His present inten-
ton is to manage and pitch occa-
sionally.
Unless something should turn up
between now and spring to make
Johnson change his plans, he will
stand out as one of the few star
players to quit the big show while
still great.
1t is failing of most stars that
athcy are the last to recognize the
fact that they are through. Often
"a bad ending dims much of their
former greatness.
& Fielder Jones retired as player
and manager when he was one of
the most sought after men in base
ball.
,s In a sense the retirement Of Jones
was forced rather than voluntary.
The cause of his passing up the ma
siors was a matter of finance.
Feeling that he had been instru-
mental in the great showing of the
Chicago White SoX, Jones, after one
sof his big years, set price on his
services that the Chicago club
couldn't see.
& In all probability when Jones
shanded the club the ultimatum that

kpose that his club would see it in
