May Lunch With Governor to
Signify Approval Of His
Candidacy

President Roosevelt intends to
leave for his home town of Hyde
Park, N. Y, tonight, to vote there
next Tuesday, and it would not be
surprising if-as a private resi-
dent Of that village-he made
some public move that would aid
the candidacy of his old friend
Governor Herbert Lehman, now
running for reelection in New
York against Robert Moses,
strong Republican contender.
The President has refrained
from mentioning State political
affairs, although he has been i'm
portuned at his press conferences
to dip into intricate State affairs
here and there, particularly in
California and in Pennsylvania,
where the Democratic candidate
for Senator, Joseph Guffey, is get
ting stronger daily, according to
reports to the White House.
May Lunch With Lehman
But at Hyde Park President
Roosevelt can, and it is deemed
probable that he will, ask Gov
ernor Lehman to drop in for
lunch. That would be taken as
an invitation for all good New
York Democrats to vote for Gov
ernor Lehman, former lieutenant
governor while President Roose'

Addressing the Widow

Addressing the Widow
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I would like to know how to
address an envelope to a
woman whose husband died
Just recently? Should it be
Mrs. John D. Smith or Mrs.
Cora Smith, her own name?
Does an engagement ring
have to be a diamond? M.
We should, correctly, address
an envelope to a widow by her
formal name, which should be
exactly the same form that
she used when her husband
was living. Therefore, you
should use the form: Mrs.
John David Smith.
By no means does an en-
gagement ring have to be a
diamond. What the engage
ment ring should be depends
entirely on the choice Of the
girl. She may prefer not to
have any ring. She may prefer
to wait and, instead of having
an engagement ring and q
plain wedding ring, to have a
jeweled wedding ring. This Is

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Please let me know il 1t Is
correct for an aunt to give her
niece a linen shower, or shall
her girl friends give it to her?

THE people of Douglas are vital

it naturally follows as a corrollary,
that they must be interested in
their teachers.
Teachers, you are engaged in a
work that is all-important Much is
asked and much is expected from
you. Much of this is often unreal
sonable, and the critic himself
could not even commence to make
good.
But, teachers, I want to assure
you that the people of Douglas are
not classed among the cronic fault
finders. Instead you will find the
spirit of friendship and the trait
of helpfulness, highly developed.
