and il rubber game is necessary

tested Thursday. all starting at 4:45
o'clock; scene, Griffith Stadium.
Chevy Chase won 10 straight
games to capture honors in the
second half of the schedule. Fash
lon Shop took the first section after
= hard struggle.
There are no odds on the final
series. Both clubs are balanced,
experienced and well managed.
John Lamb, who piI0ted Chestnut
Farms Dairy to the Commercial
League pennant last year, has the
Fashion Shop in tow. Toots Wise,
an old Business High and Penn
star and now, with his brothers, a
successful dairyman, and Johnny
BIeir, the MethuseIistic wonder,
are the Chevy Chase strategists.
Fashion Shops pitching talent is
mostly left-handed, with Lefty
Khunert and Ross Fisher dividing
the work. Both of Chevy Chase's
dependabies, Jeff Smith and J. Me-
Carthy, are right handlers. In re-
serve, the Dairymen have Lefty
Flynn, the fireman, and Fashion
Shop from time to time uses Mark
Chaconas on the hill. He plays
regularly in the OIIffIeld
Every position on both teams is
Well filled, which may be judged
from the fact alone that all the
regulars have played with one or
more championship teams. Both
are virtually all.star clubs and for
this reason most of the sandIoi oh
servers are ready to concede the in

The Elegance of the Present Mode Is Evidenced in New Black
 Dinner Gown

Black, when treated with diStinc- ton, becomes the most distinguish ed of all colors. It is also an eX- trcmely youthful medium on account of the present use of colorful trim mings. Jeweled effects are a smart treatment. as well as decorative en- broideries of gold and silver tinsel thread. More conservative effects are achieved with contrasting slips or details of flesh colored chiffon.
 The startling combination of black and silver is responsible for the youthful and chic appearance of the dinner gown sketched today. As a background for ornamental silver stitching. ] have used soft black lace for both the bodice and skirt sections. And because the mode calls for fluttering details in a dress of this kind, there is softly ripping bertha and skirt composed of two tiers of finely pleatcd ruffles.
 The most arrcsting feature, however. is large motif of decor alive silver stitching on the front of the bodice. Silver gleams also on the scalloped edges of the cape and skirt ruffles.
 This delightful dinner gown of soft black lace has close fitting bodice brilliantly embroidered in silver tinScl thread. Two rufflcS of Dlcated lace give interest and movement to the skirt.

Trader the Wood Rat who is so honest that he cannot take a thing without leaving something in exchange. hates to think that he is related to Robber the Brown Rat. but he is and there is nothing he can do about it. Some relationships can be recognized at once. Others are not so easily recognized.
 Perhaps you recall that Peter Rabbit had run across Piny the Pine Grosbeak getting a meal from su- mac seeds. Piny was a handsome fellow. He certainly was. His breast was rose red, and against the white of the snow he looked very lovely. He had come down from the north because up there food was scarce.
 For long time Peter sat watch ing Piny and his friends, for there were many of them. feasting on those sumac seeds. They were so busy that they had no time to talk. When at last Piny showed signs of being through eating for the time being, Peter ventured to ask ques- tion or two.
 Have you any relations down this way now, Piny?" said he,
 Piny stopped to swallow a seed after crushing it in his stout bill. T don't know" he replied. You ought to know. You are around everywhere. I'm told that the Gros- beak family was represented in the Old Orchard last year"
 T presume you mean the. Rose breasted Grosbeak." said Peter. Rosebreast and Mrs. Rosebreast were very important members of the Old Orchard colony. l don't know how we should get along without them in the summer. I hadn't thought of them as being relatives of yours"

 "Who are they?" asked Peter bluntly.
 "Mr. and Mrs. Evening Gros- beak," replied Piny. They love the deep woods of the North just as l do."
 Do they ever get down this way?' inquired Poser.
 "They are down here now" re- piled Piny. At least, I understand they are. I haven't seen them, but I've run across signs of them."
 Peter became quite excited. Really" he cried. What would they look like" he demanded. Should I know them if I should see them?'
 Piny stopped to gather up a few more seeds. Then he flew over to a young mountain ash to try few berries from that. Peter chased right along after him. Peter was getting curious He knew he never would rest until that curiosity was satis- fled. So he chased along after Piny and Mrs. Piny and the rest Of the flock of Pine Grosbeaks, and patient ly waited until Piny was through with the ash berries. Then once
