By JEAN WOODSON 4EMy Deb Friends

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. G. Most of my girl friends who are going to make debuts this year have natural, winning manners and a sense of humor.
 The debs have found it is not necessary to put on". Men-and they really are essential to a suc- cessful debut-like a sincere. un- assuming girl who follows the fa- miliar slang injunction of "Be yourself"
 There's Isabelle Perry, tall, stun- ming, and who looks divine in eve- ming dress. But she is so natural and unaffected, full of fun and with laughter always twinkling in her blue eyes.
 Frances Matthews, too, is noted for her witty sayings which are funny without hurting anybody We're all wild to know what each other will wear at the opening black and white ball this month, and of course for the great event. the coming out ball.
 I hope Lucille Elliott chooses green. She's petite and red-headed and looks lovely in that color. Elizabeth Henning has a glint of gold in her hair. Blue is becom- ing, but each girl is planning some thing unusual so there will be some surprises.
 Mother bought my dress in New York for the black and white ball. I just adore it.
 There's lot of talk among the girls and the mothers as to the best kind of costume for a deb. Some are in favor of frilly fuSsy things, others are for severe classic lines letting the face and figure" do the talking, as it were.
 Some come out strong for the girl who glitters" other words something like sequins or beads or other scintillating stuff to attract attention in the ball room and catch the reflection of the lights
 We girls laugh at the pow VOWS our mothers are having. They are really the major generals upon whom the hard work of coming out party in capital society falls.
 After all a social secretary can only do so much-it's the mothers with whom the final decision rests.

Need of Fur Exchange.
Steward Gateway ]

Approximately a million dollars worth of furs pass through Seward annually on their way to fur exchanges in the United States and to private con- cerns. charge of five per cent is fixed by the exchange for handling the fur, a total of $2OO- 900.
 There is no reason why this sum should not re- main in Seward. It can be secured by the estab- lishment of fur exchange, which in turn will assist the rappsr by having correct market reports avail able at each sale for the determining of prices instead of the present system of uncertain reports based previous sales, with possibilities of the price dropping from five to 10 per cent after the trapper has shipped his furs.
 Such an exchange would draw many fur buy CTS from the States and other parts of the Terri tory and have generally beneficial effect upor business.
 To sustain prosperity it is logical to gc after any agency that will keep money at home.

 Most Improved Pitchers-Lefty Gomez, Yankees and Leroy Ma haffey, As.
 Biggest Bores-Nick Altrock and Al Schacht, funny men of the Senators. The boys might have once been funny, but so was the gag about "who was that lady l seen you with. etc."

 Biggest Pain in the Neck-Pat Malone. big, strong man of the Cubs. ". h'

 Most Overpaid Players-Hack Wilson and Dazzy Vance. Robins.
 Biggest Comebacks-Those of Joey Sewell, Yankees, and Sunny Jim Bottomley, Cards.
 Most Unsportsmaniike Acts-Pat Malone's attack on a sports writer half his size, and the shower of bottles the St Louis fans awarded Freddie Leach of the Giants, for a grand catch.
 Uhluckiest Players-Lou Gehrig, who was robbed of the home run championship by Lyn Lary's bone- head play, and Taylor Douhit, who was shipped down the river to the Reds by the Cards.

ERECT SCAFF0LD BUT HANGING IS
 SOME DELAYED
William McAskill, Formerly of Mass. Was to Have Suffered Execution on January l3

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Jan 23.- for carrying out the death sentence imposed on William McAskill, 23. formerly of Massachu- setts, on a charge of murder, went forward to-day despite the appeal of the case to the supreme court of Canada.
 Jail officials at Cape Breton have ordered a scaffold erected, although the supreme court will not sit to consider the case until next month, and the execution has been delayed until March 3rd.
 Breton, was charged with stabbing to death Norman McPherson last September 18th, at Bay St Lawrence, Victoria County. c. B. After pre- liminary hearing of evidence by magistrate in the district, he was committed for trial and the case was heard at the fall criminal trial sitting of the supreme court at Syd- ney, c. B., with Justice Chisholm presiding. The jury found him guilty. and he was sentenced to hang on January 18th.
 The prosecution laid much stress on evidence of a doctor who exam ined the body shortly after death, dHu IcStlIIeu that UedLn was que to a knife wound. McAskill was al- legged to have borrowed knife pre- viously. There were no witnesses, however, to the actual killing.
 McAskill testified that he had been drinking on the day of the murder and knew nothing about it until his father told him. He said his mind was blank from p. m. Sept IS, which was before the time of the killing, until the following morning.
 The appeal of the case was based on alleged error in omission of cer- tain evidence dealing with report ed confession, jurymen holding con- versation with other persons during the trial, non-instruction of the jury on one point, and instruction re- garding drunkenness as a defence. Five judges of the court had or- dered the appeal dismissed, but two of the judges dissented, making ap- peal possible.
 The supreme court of Nova Scotia granted leave to appeal to the su- preme court of Canada, and, in view of the circumstances, reprieved exe- cution until March 3rd.
