Dear Miss Flo:-When invitations
for wedding are being sent out,
should one be sent to person who is
in mourning? A. R.
Just as a matter of courtesy, the
person who is in mourning should re-
ceive an invitation. However, no Of
tense should be taken if the person so
invited does not attend, as it would be
very poor form to attend a wedding
while still in mourning.

the very best he can, you are poor

is clearly YOUR duty to carry on and
make the best of the bargain you

to do your utmost to make the hus-
band who is trying so hard to make

than it is for you, and the only way
the load can be lightened is by mu-

Ruth made his best record when
he was playing on the Polo Grounds

he left that field he shook his head
sadly and said he was sorry because
it was the easiest of all grounds on

He missed the frown of the Polo

as stance for right-field batting
when on the Polo Grounds that would

Ruth didn't make a record in every
year that he played on the Polo
Grounds, because there were days when
his sights were bad. Pete Browning
used to beg for a cigarette now and
then to light up his lamps" Pete
said he couldn't hit home runs with
out light and the poor chap actually
believed that cigarettes helped his
batting average.
In two years Ruth had trouble
with his sights and also with any
change in the home-run record busi-
ness. This year he has a line on
the right field stand at Yankee Sta
dunn that is as near perfect as the
straight line in target practice. He
has been welting the ball into the

that it would be worth while to the
