Bride Letters
BY EMILY POST.
DEAR MRS. POST: The follow

DEAR MRS. POST: The follow
ing are problems which none Of
Us feel capable of solving. win you
write your opinions in each instance3
% I prefer white gold for my we'd
ding ring and my fiance prefers yellow
gold for the one am to give him. May
we each have what we like? CD My
fiance is from out Of town. Is 1t i'm
proper for him to stay at our house
for q few days preceding the wedding?
(3) How long before the wedding
should the attendants who live out
Of town be asked to come, and must
they be invited to stay In our house?
I'm afraid all these outsiders will be
rather confusing In our moderately
sized house. "a Is 1t necessary that
the bride and bridegroom exchange
gifts? Isn't 1t more useful that the
bridegroom gives something to his
bride and that she gives nothing to
him?"
Answer: % Choose the rings you
like. It does not matter a bit whether
they match or not t2) Certainly.
your fiance may stay with your FAM
lily. Whether he spends the night
before the wedding depends upon
whether you are superstitious enough
to believe that 1t Is good luck for the
bride and bridegroom not to see each
other on their wedding day until they
meet at the church. This, of course, is
nonsense, but many brides are in
clined to follow omens Of happiness
such rs this one, and the wearing of
something old. and something new.
something borrowed and something
blue. and lucky sixpense in her
shoe" (3) Usually they arrive the aft
ernoon before the wedding and the re-
hearsal takes place either that after
noon late, or early that evening. az
The bridegroom always gives his bride
the loveliest present he Is able to af-
ford-if possible a piece of jewelry or
other things for her adornment. II
he cannot afford to give her anything,
then, Of course, he doesn't. She usually
gives him q present. too. but 1t is not
an ezaction as Is the bridegroom's gift
to the bride.
my dear Mrs. Post: My fiance's
list of aunts and uncles and friends is
considerably larger than mine. 1t will
be very dificult for him to cut his list,
and 1t Is unnecessary for me to in
clude any more friends than are al
ready on my list. Must these lists
necessarily balance?"
Answer: The lists Of the two FAM
lilies are rarely, If ever, Of the same
length. Since he has a very large
family. and you a very small one. it
is obvious that his allowance Of in
vitations must be greater than yours.

on the fact that she wanted North
to know the weakness Of her holdings
right away, was entirely wrong. She
bid one no-trump.
If she had stopped TO think little.
she would have realized that she was
preventing North from showing ma
jor suit at the one level. For example,
suppose North had held the following
hand:
sp. K ok Di. OK

The bidding would presumably go
one club, one no-trump. and now
North has to bid two spades. South
must respond with three diamonds.
which is passed all around. and goes
down one trick. If South had made
the correct response. however. the
bidding would have gone one club. one
diamond, one spade, one no-trump-
pass.
After South's bad response Of one
no-trump, however, North, warned by
couldn't explain afterward why he
hadn't at least given an invitation bid
of two no-trumps. 1t was just
"hunch" pass and it happened to
work. If South responds correctly
the hand is played at two or three
diamonds, or, if North is addicted to
gambling. at three no-trumps.
Mrs. Aggressive opened the king of
spades. In the play of the hand, Mr.
Aggressive started signaling for a
heart lead the first time he discarded
on the diamond suit West got in
with the queen of diamonds and
played her thirteenth spade. (South
had held up the ace of spades until
the third round) Mrs. Conservative
had hard discard to make on this
play. Not daring to unguard her
! queen of hearts. she finally threw one
of her good diamonds. Then when
West obediently led heart, and East
took his ace and king of hearts, South
claimed the last four tricks, making
one no-trump.
This is an odd hand" said North
musingly. IF I play the hand, I
think can make three no-trumps."
mo" disagreed East. Il open a
small heart, and we take four hearts
and the queen of diamonds"
If East should lay down the ace
and king of hearts and continue with
small one, North, of course, makes
three no-trumps I have noticed a
tendency on the part of many players
when defending against a no-trumr
contract, to lead the king from the
holding of the ace-king in a suit OF
five or six times without any other re-
entry in the hand. They feel that
they must take their tricks while they
still have the lead. but they fail tc
realize that there is no possible way
they can make the small cards in that
suit If the declarer holds the guarded
queen or the guarded jack. Your leac

card always blanks your partner ir

Hawk had swooped, alighted on the
edge Of the water and waded out
up to his knees. There he stood mo-

Grandfather Frog dived down into
the mud when that Hawk swooped,
thought he. He won't stay there long.
He knows Hawks. He knows that
that fellow. having failed, will not
stay around long and that there
really is nothing to fear from him
now. So he'll come up again soon.
He knows that I wasn't around when
he dived and it won't enter his head
that I may be here now. I'll Just
be patient and wait"
So willy Longlegs patiently waited.
The chorus Of Frogs and Toads,
which had ceased at the appearance
Of the Hawk, was resumed. Only the

Alaskan Eskimo Dog

THOUGH the Alaskan dog spends
most of his life under the
yoke, the proud carriage Of his
L tail proclaims to the world his
kingship. In Arctic America
and on its islands, he Is still the de-
pendable beast of burden.
There are many waste places over
which man cannot travel with his
pack. without the faithful assistance
Of his dogs. Oio prospectors, in days
gone by, depended upon them for COM
pany as well as for drawing the heavy
loads over the difficult passes.
While travelling facilities are far
better today than when the gold rush
was on. there are many trails where
only the dog and his sled can pene-
trate or stand the hardships.
Provided by nature with a deep fur
coat, and for Winter a woody coat
next to the skin, the Alaskan dog
can endure cold. draw heavy loads with
just enough food to keep him from
starving, and keep his sense of direc-
ton to a degree that is amazing.
Today, pure-bred Eskimo dogs are to
be found only in the Far Arctic. The
white man has introduced the Shep-
herd, Dane and Newfoundland. How
ever. these dogs, too. can boast as
famous a lineage as the Alaskan dog
The offspring Of these dogs seem to
combine the best qualities of each
parent. They are alert, courageous,
faithful. and have a high sense of
duty. They will defend their master
with their lives, and even though he
has not been overly kind to them, they
do not hesitate to stand by him
through every known difficulty he
must face during a long, arduous
trip.
All Eskimo dogs are strong. They
weigh about 70 pounds and are from
"a to % inches high at the shoulder.
Their strong, straight legs carry them
easily over the soft snow, and their
feet are well-furred. The coat is a
very deep, warm one. and the inner
coat, next to the skin, is woolly in the
Winter. The ears are deeply pricked.
the eyes alert and cunning. The tail
is carried aloft in q manner that
proclaims his CHEEKY disposition.

Garden makers who failed to
buy dormant roses earlier in the

which were killed last Winter
may still fill the gaps by using
pot-grown plants. These plants,
however. should be handled a lit
tie differently from plants set out
early. They should be planted
with the crown an inch below the

tops should not be cut back at
all. The plants should be wa

A Little Saturday Talk.

A Little Saturday Talk.
"HE test made not long ago
of the new Burlington
"streamline' train adds fur
i ther facts on which we can
build a view of the future OF
railroading. Last year a railroad
tested a streamlined railway passen-
ger coach driven by the same sort OF
engine as used for busses and which
travels over the tracks at high speed
much faster than the Twentieth Gen.
tury Limited.
The Union Pacific has tested still
another kind of streamline train, and
has proved that it will travel with
high speed.
In the Burlington test, a three-car
train of light weight, called the
Zephyr. sped between two towns in
New Jersey. using tracks of the Read
ing line. During part of the journey
1t travelled at 104 miles per hour.
The Zephyr is driven by a Diesel
electric plant and the cost of run
ming it is only about 35 cents per
mile.
Tests of this kind point to the day
not far distant when people will speed
across this continent in about the
same time now used in going by air
plane. Those of us who think that
airplane travel has not yet been MADE
safe enough may be able to get
there" just as fast.
The lower cost of fuel probably will
result in lower cost of railway travel;
and this should lead to far greater
number of persons finding the JOY OF
travelling.
The managers of airlineS will take
steps to make air travel more popular.
T. is quite true that airplanes are safer
today than they were few years ago:
but even so they have long way to
go Air travel ought to become less
dangerous, by far. than auto travel
Automobiles have limited space to
use-limited by the highways-but air
planes have millions of cubic miles
open to them. With the progress OF
safety in aviation. We shall be able to
make fine use of that open space.
Now and then there may be a COLI
sion-but such thing should not take
place nearly so often as on the high
ways.
There will be conquest of the strato-
sphere, I feel sure. Either airplanes
or rockets (probably BOTH should pass
through the upper levels of the air;
and within our lifetimes We may be
able to speed across space at the rate
of 500 to 1000 miles an hour. Going
to Europe may become a matter of
days round trip. UNCLE RAY.
