Bradley Won t
Pick Derby
Winner

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla,
April ~17.-Singing Wood, Sir
Thomas, Cavalcade.
Boldly and with a flourish,
that famous Kentucky horseman,
Col. E. r. Bradley, whose
Brokers Tip flashed to sensa-
tional victory a year ago, licked
the derby possibilities off two
weeks ago.
But that was two weeks ago,
and the derby is two weeks
nearer. The colonel today was
as shy as the spring violets just
beginning to lift their pastel
heads in woodland dellS.
Said the colonel:
"I'lI lay you to l against
any horse you name right
now"
In fact, the colonel was ready
to talk about almost anything
but which of the streaking thun-
derbolts might come home first.
In case you don't know it,
this years derby probably will
break all records for attendance.
That's the colonel'S dope.

ANNAPOLIS, April 17.-During
the present week, Navy teams
swing into full stride of spring
sports, contests being scheduled
for the home grounds in every
branch for the varsity, while plebe
sports have their initial events in
two lines. Midweek sports will be
resumed on Wednesday with q
baseball game against Lafayette
and tennis against Johns Hop

The varsities will be active in
five branches on Saturday, the
outstanding event being the boat
races with Princeton, in which
varsity and junior varsity crews
will contest over the Henley
distance of a mile and five-six-
teenths. Special interest is given
to the major event from the fact
Princeton was the only crew
which won from Navy last year.

Navy crews had fairly good
weather last week and made the
most of it under Coach Charles

have the advantage of having the

to outweigh the Navy to some
extent.

Now that many people are
getting money from the Fed
eral Housing Administration. to
modernize their homes, we find
that much attention is focusing
on kitchens.
OF course you want new equip
ment, an electric ice box and
stove, or a fine new gas stove.
You want an electric washer and
ironer. "a, dish washing ma
chine. "a mixer, a thousand
other things. But don't forget
your walls, your floors, your win
dows, your lighting. They can
make as much difference and
save as much work as your
equipment.
We're showing a picture on
this page of tile kitchen, with
walls easy to keep clean, requir.
ing almost no work at all, mere
ly wiping with damp cloth.
They are SO sanitary that it
would be almost impossible for
a germ to find lodging. And
they won't be marred by the
usual wear and tear on a
kitchen.
Your kitchen will be more
beautiful for such changes, too.
Tile walls are usually plain, but
you can have your choice of
colors. And tile floors, equally
desirable, can be in smart de-

The wave of popularity on
which the shepherd swept the
country ebbed in a tide of
mediocrity from which it has
been rescued largely through
the efforts of Mrs. M. Hart
ley Dodge and the officers and
patrons of the Madison and
Essex Kennel Club of New Jer-
sey.
The Madison outdoor show
has become the mecca of the
fancy. Here the shepherds
have been judged by the lead

When Manners
Are Correct
BY MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN
Drin%nH Cron%I,n~~
Printed Greetings

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
During the past year three
young couples of my acquaint-
ance have gotten married.
was invited to the church in
once instance, and the other
two weddings I was not invited
to at all. sent the three couples,
also their parents, appropriate
printed cards of congratulations,
and my grievance is that I have
not received a reply to any of
them.
do not expect a formal &C.
acknowledgement, but have spoken
to each verbally since, but have
not received a word of thanks
from any of them. I feel that
even selecting card requires
thought, time, often inconVen-
fence and money.
Therefore I would like to know
whether or not it was proper
for me to send cards of we'd
ding congratulations, was it
proper to have sent a gift, and
also is it not proper for the re-
cipients to at least express their
thanks for such cards, via
mouth or telephone?
AS this question has given me
considerable concern I will more
than appreciate your reply. B.
1 don't wish to seem unkind,
but to be perfectly honest with
you it is not in good form or
in good taste to send ready
made, printed cards of congratu-
lation for any occasion. A writ
ten note of congratulation is in
excellent taste because then we
use our own words and the
note has the personal flavor it
should have.
The thought, time, often in
convenience and money" re-
quired to select card are mis-
applied, inappropriately applied,
and should instead be applied
to the writing of a gracious
and friendly note.
However, even if your send
ing of these ready-made cards
was not in good taste, and
even if these friends and &C
quaintances did not regard
them as in good taste, it would
have been proper and gracious
and kind for them to have
thanked you for the cards.
There is a great lesson in
this for you and for many other
readers-to use your own words
for this sort of note, not to
depend on the frigid, imper-
sonal words of the printer or
the "writer" employed by sta
TONERS to devise phrases for
people who don't like to think
of their own phrases for i'm
portant and special occasions.
Your note to me was written
with a charming grace-use
that same grace to write these
notes of good wishes and felici-
tationS.
