MRS. NIkLER'S WILL
 IN SUPREME COURT
Arguments Today on Disposition of S5OO,OOO Trust Fund

Hartford. May ' QP,-Whether the state of Connecticut had a right to impose a succession tax on person. al property located outside the linn It's and the claimed jurisdiction ot the state, is an important question submitted to the supreme court Of errors for is advice, and heard to- day. in the Fairfield county case of Arthur Silyerman and others ap- peal from the probate court, and taken to the supreme court on reservation.
 Charles D. Lockwood and Walter X. Mcguire appeared for the ap- pellants, and Attorney General Frank F. Healy, Farwell Knapp, in- beritance tax attorney. and Lucius r. Robinson represented Tax Com missioner William H. Blodgett. The ease was transferred from the third to the first district for hearing.
 Appeal From Stamford
 The appeal is from the decision or the probate court for the district of Stamford, uphoIding the deter imitation of the state tax commis- sioner that the estate Of Robert B. Hirsch. a resident of Stamford, is liable to the state Of Connecticut for a succession tax in the amount of $1SS,7So5S.
 Robert B. Hirsch died September 28, 1924. his estate at the time of his death being valued at S2,645,- 065.S5. It consisted of certain real estate, furniture and miscellaneous personal property located in Stam- ford and valued at $46,&o175; bonds valued at S615,642.S4, located phy- sicially in New York. of which those due from Connecticut residents or corporations were valued only at 352I.67: stocks valued at s277,9S4.- 25, located physically in New York, certificates Of but s120 were issued by Connecticut corporations; q share in the New York partnership of William Openhcim and Sons valued at sL6S7,245.34; miscellaneous in tangible property valued at $17,- S91.67. Of which $2S74S was cash on hand in New York; Sl4,92S.67 was life insurance and savings bank deposits due from New York cor porations, and $2,675.52 was a debt from a resident of Connecticut.
 The decedent left a will and two codicils. all executed in New York. The tax appraiser appointed by the New York court reported as taxable all the decedents estate except the realty and tangible personal pro perty located in Connecticut and the bonds upon which the New York statute does not levy a tax.
 The executors took no steps to qualify in Connecticut until Jan. s. 1925. Tax proceedings were inst1- tuted in Connecticut and the eNecu- tors, under oath, filed a statement of the decedents property, and in the report and computation of tax by the commissioner he held that the entire estate was taxable in Con- uectfcut and computed tho tax on that theory.
 The probate court confirmed the computation of the tax commissioner and ordered the tax paid, the cN- eculors appealing from the order.
 The question presented for de cision isw neither intangibles, located

WHO WRITES
FIRST?
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman-
nEAR MRS. BEEcKMAN:

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Is it proper for a young
girl to write to a young man
first, or is it his duty to write
first. if he is away?
2. If a young man does not
walk next to the pavement is it
proper for the lady whom he is
escorting to call his attention to
his mistake?
8. If a girl meets a young
man on the street who should
speak first, the girl or the man?
4. If a young man sends a gift
to a lady, for instance, for Christ
mas, should the lady send him a
gift also?
5. After finishing dance and
when the gentleman with whom
you have just danced is escort
ing you to your chair what should
the lady say?
6. If a girl Is with a boy and
happens to meet a group of girl
friends should she give him an
introduction to each of her girl
friends? A READER.
NHiE young man writes first,
II and especially would this be
so II he is the one who-has- gone
away. But I hope that he con-
sidsrs 1t his privilege" or his
pleasure rather than his duty"
2. No, l think that most ladies
would find this embarrassing,
and that they would rather dis
regard the fact that the man is
on the wrong side. You see, in
a case like this, when one calls
the attention of another to the
fact that the "other" is dong
an ill-bred thing, one becomes
ill-bred oneself.
3. The woman is always given
the privilege of acknowledging
an acquaintance first. The gen.
tleman waits until the woman
either bows or speaks.
4. Not necessarily, by any
means. In giving gifts there Is
no idea of give-and-take unless
the people themselves put this
idea into the giving.
There should never be any ques-
ton of expectation of gifts or
a. gift-for-a gift. OF course, l
know that many times this spirit
is there, but such spirit isn't
worthy.
s. When the dance is finished
the gentleman thanks the lady for
the dance, and the lady, in ac-
acknowledgements of this. says some
thing pleasant about the dance
and something about her enjoy
ment Of it. This nj cans a thank
you az we'll. For instance, she
may soy, "That was a most de-
iigitful dance. l enjoyed 1t very
much"
That is. it isn't hi: necessary
to introduce on such caSsual meet
!ngs. and most people nPW always
do not expect it. Such introduc-
tions seem very forced But.
of course, If you stop ana talk
then YOU would naturaiiN make
the introduction.

The person who sincerely aside period for honest
seevauaon frankly considers what he fnds escapes
from this fault at least.
It helps to put plans for improvement down IN WrlSng
Edward a. FIene the Boston merchant, records that ne
early learned the value Of setting down his plans IN writing
He says he found they to be followed out

The old saying, HE who dreams but does not work u
only dreamer he who works but does not dream Is only
drudge but he who works and dreams master Of all ne
undertakes is especially applicable at the beginning OF

Improvement from combination OF an

A PRAYER FOR THE NEW. YEAR

PRAYER FOR THE NEW YEAR
Great Power that set little decency aght
Within this of flesh and bone / call Myself
Hear now the prayer make for this new year 70 come
ask not now for wisdom for / find
/ do not the little that have;
Nor do ask for power for fear
The brute in me- that power a clubs
Nor riches for know full that
Receive all that earn and maybe
/ asked for these things in years gone by,
And, in measure, they have all been mine;
Each gift craved; granted unto
As all things that granted from your store
But if you have face, Great Power, know YOU smiled
As from that store you gave the thing craved,
For well knew it would not fill heart,
Nor make for beauty in my stupid hands,
So now, with clearer vision and humber heart
come to beg for that one precious boon
Which is, think, the greatest gift OF all.
Help be kind!
Help me be kind in motive and in deed
Help be kind in most secret thought
In every touch / make other lives,
In every contact which they
Cleanse all the singing from my wit,
Purge of envy greed and SNUG self-righeousness.
Make remember only my weakness my own ain
When fools and sinners ask some boon of me-
Help be kind!
Not with the patronizing pity that's lash
At self with pride
That crushes those who show their need to
But with the constant knowledge that whateer / have
Of strength money, wit ceverness,
Belongs to them as much as 1t belongs to
For all of it has from ont your store
And those UhO take brothers sight,
nd whe / with and ridicule,
When l rcked by malice stupidity
besmrched
Help keep your spirit sweet in that dark hour,
Hold back my temper, make me tolerant and sane,
To those who hurt me, to those that might hurt
Help be kind!
Power who made me from the clay
Yet breathed into that clay flash of god-hke fire.
Breathe now again, to light through the year,
my cold, hard spirit with that white
OF your kEndtness!

monkeys?
Why are the sentimental movie

why do people flock to see emo.
tional actors?
Why are publishers begging
popular authors for romantic
novel" why do "love-story"
magazines flourish, while cynical,
highbrow magazines are gasping
for breath?
How do florists manage to exist,
selling violets and roses-and why
do jewelers. still advertise solitaires
and wedding rings?
Why is ST. Valentines day 30
popular-and why is Beatrice
Fairfax?
Why do girls continue to COM
NIT suicide for love" and men
continue to shoot each other over
a woman?
How does Elinor Glyn manage
to make so much money-and
why do divorced couples re.marry
each other?
Why does ANYBODY get mar
ried?
Why does a man cheerfully
unite himself from all the other
women in the world, just in order
to tie himself to one woman for
life?
Why does a flapper stop flap
ping and give up a perfectly good
pay-enVelope, in order to burn her
fingers three times a day over a
gas ranger
Why does a sheik, who has oeen
the darling of the chorus, the
walters, and the taxi drivers, sud
denly slow doWn--and begin wheel

With world full of kissing
acquaintances, why does hard
boiled bachelor suddenly become
soft-boiled, melt and slop over
because he cannot live without
the kisses Of some particular
woman?
Call it Imagination, sex appeal,
spring fever, the mating instinct
anything you like; but, like the

same stock the stock Is
LOVE.
All of the good and beautiful
and wonderful things We do in
this world, as we'll as most Of the
