Correct Manners
By Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
l.. My brother, who has mar
ried recently in California, has
asked me to write his wife.
Should I write to her first, or
should she write to me first?
2. I have never met the girl
and have no idea what I
should write, although I've
seen her picture. Will you
please help me by giving me an
idea Of what I should write.
T.
/. Your brother is right in
asking you to write a note Of
greeting and friendliness to his
wife. It Is the family of the
groom who welcome into the
family the fiancee or wife. AS a
matter of fact, the members Of
the young mans family should
write to his fiancee at once
after he has told them of his
engagement. If this wasn't pos
SlDlS, Ill your CdSS' tAlc4A yOu
should write at once to his
wife.
2. In your note tell how
heartily you welcome her into
your family, how happy you are
about your brothers mar
riage. Tell her, too, how deeply
happy you are about your
brothers love Of her, what
charming things he has said
about her, and how very much
you are looking forward to
knowing her. And it would be
natural, too, for you to tell
her of your devotion to your
brother, and of your happiness
in the thought of his happi-
ness. Your letter should not
be a bit formal, just because
you have not met this young
lady: but should be richly
friendly and warm-hearted and
welcoming.

The Rhymins
Optimist
BY ALINE MICHAELIs
Futile Things

Futile Things
Sometimes the years seem cold
and gray
AS stealthily, swift day by day,
They steal our dearest joys
away.
They take bright youth and
loveliness,
The gauds we hunger to
possess
And young loves glamorous
caress.
They bear them from us, like
the tide
OF some dark river, deep and
wide,
Whose forces can not be denied.
So ruthless seem they and so
bleak,
So strong to take what most
we seek,
That trust grows faint and
hope grows weak.
Yet years are only futile things
To him whose spirit keeps its
wings,
To him whose heart still scars
and sings.

Plenty Of Tragedy Here
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Sometimes I wonder if any.

regular hours.
Two months before my baby
was born he was arrested in
connection with a hold-up IN
which a man was shot and
killed. When I told my family
was married to this man, they
cast me off. After every one
else had turned me down, my
child was born and the Saliva
tion Army is taking care Of us.
My husband was given life and
is now serving his sentence in
prison. I have worked in
poor families for the baby'S and
my board but no wages, and I've
had to neglect the baby, but
thank God she has survived. I
am doing part time work now
in a candy factory and the baby
is in a day nursery.
I've had plenty Of opportu-
mites to go crooked but I've re-
sisted and strange to say, in
spite of everything. I have mo-
>ments of being happy when I
take the baby in my arms after
a long days work and plan that
her future may be happier than
her mothers. Last week my

cup of flour

612 tablespoons of lard.
212 tablespoons of ice water.
METHOD-Sift the salt and
flour together, then work in the
lard, which should be well
chilled before using. Do not
blend it in too finely, having
the lard distributed through
the flour in small Jumps. This
helps to make the pastry flaky.
Then add the water, a table
spoon at a time, until the mix
ture is held together and can
be rolled out. Roll dough to
about one-quarter inch thick.

four or five inches wide. These

The opening lead was the K

Thinking that it could do no

the AK in dummy must win;

lose another trick, and it was
useless to prolong play.
Had Y been AS partner, in

been one spade trick and one

were so powerful that his part
ner could have gone game with
almost any kind of hand. The
curse of informatory doubling

Stitutes a thoroughly sound in

Christmas Hint

Whether you are making
guest towels and luncheon
doilies or a sheer woolen dress
to complete your fall ward
robe, you will find that it is
the finishing touches which
give them that air of distinc-
ton. Bits of lace whipped on,
narrow ruffles, or hand rolled
hens demand good thread.
Coarse thread is out of the
question. Weak thread only
means continual mending. But
the best six-cord thread, which
is strong yet fine, will give a
dainty French look to your
garment or linens and will last
as long as the article itself.
Six cord means, simply, that
six long cotton strands have
been twisted tightly together to
form a single thread of I'M
usual strength.

The InfOrmatOry Double

AA~ AASA~S A~S%~~AS S~~@~@~
Provided your partner has
neither bid nor doubled, a double
of an adverse suit bid or of 1-No
Trump, if made at the first op-
portunity that you have to
double any declaration, is in
formatory. It asks your partner
to bid, unless he can defeat the
contract for more than can re-
suit from bidding. In no event
must the doubler's partner allow
the double to stand, unless it
can be defeated.
Many players have claimed
having invented the informa-
tory double, but no claimant
has been able to prove that he
invented it before 1911, when
Maj. c. L. Patton introduced
tbs double at the Knickerbocker
Whist Club.
The only objection ever offer
ed to the use of this double is:
How high a bidw shall be
doubled?" Personally, I double
internationally the following
bids: One No Trump, three Of
a major suit, four Of a minor
suit. Higher doubles than these
are business doubles" intended
to collect penalty from the
other side.
Not Widely Adopted
Various schemes have been
suggested to make it clear to
any partner whether the
double means business or calls
for partners bid. Among these
plans is Mr.. S. S. Lenz' idea
that if you say Challenge"
you ask partner to bid or let
the double stand, in case he
can defeat the doubled con-
tract. If you say Double"
you intend to defeat the con-
tract. The suggestion has not
been widely adopted
I just saw the following

ELECTION s KEY
SHOWN TO LIE
IN CORN BELT
Poll Indicates Cow Roosevelt
Is Sure to Win II He Holds
Present Advantage
By COLE Z. MORGAN

The corn-belt country Of
the Middle West appears to
hold the key to the 1892 Presi-
Dental election as the cam
paign moves into September.
This is the deduction to be
drawn from careful study
of the returns thus far tabu-
lated in the nationwide Presi-
Dental poll of The Washing
ton Times and other Hearst
papers.
II Governor Roosevelt should
maintain for the next two months
the advantage he now holds in
that area. and at the same time
retain his present firm grip on
the Pacific Coast States, there
could be little il any question as
to the election outcome.
Gains For Roosevelt
Additional returns recorded to-
day from the eight States Of the
corn country In every instance,
save Kansas, showed additional
gains for Roosevelt. Kansas, the
home of Vice President Curtis
from the outset Of the poll has
been on the Hoover side. Hoover'S
hold on Kansas, however, is still
so small that 1t would not be sur
priSing If that State should swing
over at any time to Roosevelt.
A study of the returns from
these States presents some rather
startling conditions. Wisconsin
and South Dakota, the poll shows,
are giving Roosevelt :najoritieS
larger than HooVer'S total vote.
Nebraska shows q Roosevelt ma
jority that with another weeks
returns may equal the Hoover
total, Minnesota and Missouri
show Roosevelt running better
than three to two over Hoover.
North Dakota and Iowa, though
not as strongly for Roosevelt as
the others, nevertheless show him
we'll out IN front.
Illinois For Roosevelt
The returns of the poll to date
do not give Hoover a look-in on
any State south of Pennsylvania
or south of the Ohio River. At
this time Roosevelt appears to
have Illinois by substantial
margin of safety.
II Hoover gets every State east
of Illinois and north of the Ohio
and the Maryland Pennsylvania
boundary, he would have an even
200 electoral votes. The returns
indicate he has a chance to
swing that block.
Should he hold Kansas and get
all the eight States of the Far
West mountain region he would
still have but 239 and be q short
Of the 266 necessary to elect. It
Is doubtful, however, that he can
make such q sweep of the noun
tainS, since up to this time not q
single State in that region has
swung over to him.
The returns indicate California
and Washington definitely lost to
Hoover unless there is a tremen-
dOuS change before November
