FEATURE
Wabash at De Paw Tonight
Tigers Hope Is to
Smother Attack.

BIZ Tines Special
GREENCASTLE, Ind, Feb. 81
Interest tonight will be centered on
the Wabash and De Pauw battle
here. Although De Pauw has been
defeated in close games by State
clubs the team always has put up
good games and is ready to stage
the Traditional battle against the
Scarlet outfit tonight.
Dope does not count always in
the clashes between these two
schools and the scrap very likely
will be hard fought. Through the
season there has been more or, less
weakness at the floor guard position
and Tiny" Hirt has not had the
help he deserves at the back guard
position.
Coach Morrison knows that the
Tigers must put up a strong de-
Tense to stop the Wabash speeders
and has been drilling the players to
that end. Much depends upon
whether the fast dribbling attack of
the visitors can be smothered.
Wabash Is given the edge in the
game even among local fans, but
that will not keep De PAW per
formers from putting all they have
into the fray.
Only two more games remain on
the local schedule, Hanover here on
March 2 and Franklin at Franklin
on March s.

could not be so neglectfuI of social
obligations as not to keep their alpha
bet up-to-date.
There are a few persons in Wash
ington who purposely carry visiting
cards engraved in an old-fashioned
way. The purposes are economy-a
most questionable thing-and the de.
sire to show that they have owned a
card plate for more than one year.
Everybody of any consequence is sup
posed to have a card plate that has
been in the family for generations.
For a woman to go calling with cards
engraved in the 1884 style ought to be
thought as bad form as to walk along
f street with a Floradora hat trim.
med with two,yard feathers. A woman
who would go a-calling in 1925 with
her card case stuffed with cards of
1924 construction would wear puffed
sleeves and high shoes, and would
carry part of her skirt in her hand
to keep from sweeping up germs.
There are some men so inconsiderate
of the social graces that they carry
printed cards.
One cannot object to an annual
style in engraving, but the engravers
should be merciful. They should
change the style of the letters on
visiting cards, but keep the letters
enough like the English alphabet that
a man who knows the alphabet rea.
sonably well can read the card, if you
give him time.

Styles in Engraving.

A proposal comes from engravers
for a change in the style Of the
alphabet once year. One object, and
a praiseworthy one, is to stimulate
the art of engraving, but there are
other advantages. For one thing, it
would give persons of fashion another
set of styles TO keep up with. No cor
rectly dressed man, wife and daughter
would want to hand to the butler or
drop on silver platter a visiting card
OF last years model. They would for
felt their position in society, and per-
sons who have not the discretion and
noble feeling to keep their visiting
cards up-to.date ought to be chased
out Of the social register. A woman
who would send invitations to a
luncheon, bridge, tea or pbonograph
musical on stationery engraved with
last years style Of letters and figures
is impossible. Every gentleman ex-
poets to observe the latest style in
neckties. walking sticks, hat bands and
trousers, and every woman of social
importance observes the latest thing
in skirts, shoes, pearl necklaces and
hair cuts. II II believed that they
