The tea given by "Rusty"

Saturday night another sur

Charlie Sabins, as it was his
birthday. Just before dinner,
as the SabinS were to leave
home to go to the Duval Tylers

Out got the TylerS, followed by

Sonora Aimee Rowan, who
is one of the handsomest ma
irons in the spanish-speak-
ing colony and who
played such an important
part in the festivities atten-
dant upon the visit here Of
the Mexican polo team, is
having a very gay time these
days fitting from party to
party.
Glimpsed the other after
noon she was wearing a tunic
dress with a jade green top
which was awfully becoming
to her as was her little black
hat. AS always she wore
long pendant earrings, this
time of filigree gold.
That lovely little matron,
Mrs. "Tip" Severance, who
was at a recent tea, accom-
panied by her handsome
husband, wore a gold and
green tunic with a black
crepe skirt. Her tiny tri-
corn hat had the corners
laid very tightly over one
another, a new note and a
very effective one.
Nine. Sanchez-Latour is
particularly partial to reds
and deep pinks and these
shades just suit her for she
has jet black hair which she
wears drawn back softly
from her brow with the ends
caught in a knot at the nape
of her neck. With her rose
petal complexion you can
imagine how lovely the ef-
feet is.
Receiving at a tea the
other day, she wore a gown
of ashes of roses taffeta de-
signed on very bouffant lines
with a bertha effect of the
taffeta around the shoulders.
Mrs. Harold O. Barker and
Mr.. William Baxter spent

as the guests Of Mrs. Bark

supper given by Major Jack
Cohen, of Atlanta.
Mrs. Barker and Mr.. Bax-

quite gay and hope to return

Grasses and tender leaves seem to
satisfy them, and, Of course, they are
more than fond Of salt. Following
the water course, they are likely to
find all the vegetation they need.
September Ia the, usual month for
each to ind q mate. From this time
on the family Of mother, father and
young fawns may be seen together.
The mothers leave the family circle
and give birth to their twins. These
beautiful babies, when only . few days
old, are soon able to join the family,
and though keeping very close to
their mother, are able TO keep up with
the family as 1t goes slowly from place
to place.
It Is not at all difiicult to tame the
little fellows. They think they have
just as much right to enter the house
as you have, and enjoy inspecting
everything they find In 1t.
Like the kudu, they are the sports
mans delight. Dogs are used for
bringing them to bay. The antelopes
are not towards. They meet the on
coming dogs with lowered heads and
can soon dispatch their enemies, If
given half chance. Being good
swimmers. they can evade the dogs
and they can travel at q swift gait
over uneven ground. However, they
are no match for hunters who are
armed and who are well aware of
their habits, 10 great numbers Of
them are killed each year.

After two passes North bid one dia-
mond. East made an excusable over
call of one spade. South bid two
hearts and West stepped right in with
q double. Everybody passed.
AS East said afterward to West:
What was the hurry? There's q lot
Of difference between doubling on the
strength shown by my original bids
and the strength shown by my over
calls. North will probably bid again.
Even If he doesn't, what have you to
lose? Fifty points, perhaps. sup
pose you were carried away by your
singleton spade"
West proudly opened that singleton
spade. East laid down the ace and
king and returned the third round
for West to ruff. Finding himself in
the lead, West was somewhat baffled.
He finally played q diamond. South
won with the ace in dummy and
played the king Of hearts. He was
somewhat relieved to find that East
had heart. The play Of the ace Of
hearts from his own hand left West
with the good queen and jack Of
hearts.
Now over to the board with dia-
mond. The third high diamond was
played from dummy and q club dis
carded from declarer,s hand. West
began to shift restlessly in his seat
and refused to trump. (He had dis
carded q diamond on the second
spade.) A small diamond was ruffed
by the declarer In his own hand.

MY SISTER GLADDIS and Harvey
came over after supper yestidday
and ma and Gladdis started to tawk
about diffrent subjecks. Gladdis say
ing, I suppose you heard about the
Sanders boy clipping with the Waters
gerl.
Yes. now that's what I call an un-
solved mystery, ma said, and Gladdis
said, It doesn't seem to make any
rime or reason, she must be at least S
years older than he Is, and I must
say, without any catSishness on my
part, she looks it.
Not that he's any blushing diamond
in the rough himself, ma said. My
goodness he's one Of the homeliest
men It's ever been my privilege to
gaze upon, and though 7 admit bewty
is ony skin deep, he must be very
thick skinned person to stand that
much lack of 1t, and she cant be
marrying him for his money because
he's as poor as an abandoned church
mouse and just goes from one job to
another like q deserted ship on a
rudderlesS ocean, she said, and Gladdis
said, And I'm sure he can't be ac-
cused of fortune hunting, because her
foxes haven't got 2 cents to their
name, although that's hardly any ex-
cuse for her to dress like such q gawk,
my stars I don't understand how any
man is willing to be seen with her, the
whole thing just doesn't make sense.
Ony one solution occurs to me, pop
said. The poor young things must
of fallen in love with each other, he
said, and Harvey said, I was just on
the verge Of expressing that very
thawt.
Don't be abserd, ma said, and Glad
dis said, That's absolutely rediculliss.
What do we know about 1t, Harvey?
pop said, and Harvey said, Nothing.
Do you think it's too hot to 60 around
and do q little bowling? he said, and

over him and such fear took pos
session of him that he could not have
moved If he had wanted to, which 1t
happened was fortunate for him. You
see, those eyes, small as they were,
fairly glowed with cruel fierceness.
They were the eyes Of killer and
there was no mercy In them. It was
for only a second that those eyes
stared into the bramble-tangle and
Wigglenose was unseen. But had he
moved ever so little he would have
been seen and there would have been
no more stories about Wigglenose, !
fear.
The slim hunter passed and Wiggle-
nose drew long breath. How that
little fellow could kill one so much
bigger than himself he didn't know,
but that he could and would he had
seen in those staring eyes. He shivered
at the memory Of them. And he
shivered again as a new thought came
to him. Dtmly he began to under
stand the terror of Old Jed Thumper.
There was no place that a Rabbit
could seek safety where that fellow
COulu 1lOb 4O11OWs n Va buA484C
would be no protection. A hollow log
or a hole in the ground, such hole
as the one under the old stump where
he had been safe from Reddy Fox,
would be useless or worse. There was
but one way to escape and that was
to break the trail. One could not
keep running forever, and without
quite knowing how he knew it, Wig
glenose did know that that slim little
hunter was tireless. He could be run
away from for q time but in the end
he would catch up unless he lost the
trail.
Wigglenose wanted to get away
from there, lest that dreadful little
hunter return and find him, but there
was. no safer place to 90. So wisely
he stayed right where he was. In
little while he heard footsteps again
and once more old Jed Thumper came
In sight. He had circled, as Rabbits
do. For a moment he stopped just
outside. He no longer looked fierce
as he had when he had chased Wig
glenose. He looked tired and desper-
ately afraid.
who is it?" asked Wigglenose.
Shadow the Weasel" gasped Old
Jed, "the worst enemies we Rabbits
have because he can follow wherever
we can 60. If only there was some
water near might get rid of him.
I've tried all my tricks and all have
failed"
He glanced back nervously and then
was of again, and it seemed to Wig
glenose that he didn't run as fast as
he had before. Wigglenose shivered
as he watched that back trail. Was
Shadow still following it?

Conquering Contract
BY p. Hal SIMS.

West once more refused to overtTump
That placed the king Of clubs pretty
definitely.
South simply led q heart, throwing
West in the lead. West laid down his
two high trumps, but then he had TO
play clubs away from his king-jack-
small. giving South his contract Of
two hearts, doubled.
And in conclusion" added East,
may I ask why you didn't discard
the eight of clubs On the second
spade? You wanted club lead
through, didn't you? What good did
trumping the spade do you? You are
bound to make three heart tricks on

marked with brilliant vertical and
longitudinal stripes and spots. The
males have q white line down the
middles of their backs and their chests
have a fringe Of blackish hairs. The
spots on the body Of the harnessed
antelope vary in number and size.
With their glossy coats, big brown,
intelligent eyes and ornamental
stripes, they are by far the hand
soonest members of the antelope
family.
The males have the horns. They
are placed behind the eyes and have
one or two turns in the spiral, and
the surfaces Of the horns on the
horns Of the kudus, to which they are
closely related.
The coloration Of the sexes Is quite
different. Few animals are so grace
full as these slender-footed creatures.
They travel in pairs or in very small
parties, and are nearly always found
close to water. They are very curious
and love to peer at you from some
place where they. are sure you are un-
aware OF their presence.
Because its stripes and brilliant coat
would make it conspicuous object
on the landscape, the harnessed ante
lope tries to keep well out Of sight.
That does not mean that it is not
well aware Of everything that is going
on. about 1t. It Is claimed that these
animals can see you from q great
way of. A moving object attracts
their attention at once. Where ante
lopes have no reason to fear you, 1t
Is said they will be 80 consumed with
curiosity they viii risk anything to
find out what 1t Is all about. It Is the
same with our American antelope
his desire to investigate Is almost un-
controlIable.
The strong, slender legs enable the
animals to make high jumps, but they
do not seem to care to hurdle objects.
