ministration. still is the gallant
southern gentleman. Chatting
with newspapermen in the
Poughkeepsie railroad station,
following his visit with the Presi-

L suppose you have met all the
beautiful young girls at Vassar
college?"
The reporters shook their
heads dolefully.
We've done our hest, colonel. "
one Of them said, "but We don't
seem to have much luck"
That is too bad" condoled
House. You really are missing
something. I've never seen such
lovely young women"
Perhaps piped up a newsman,
you could lend us a few telephone
numbers?"
The colonel laughed uproar-
iously.
"Oh. I was only talking in
theories, not tangibilities," he re-
piled.

about 5000 letters a day. Probably
no mail, not even that of the
White House, contains m ore
pathos, more human tragedy. and
yet more unconscious humor than
this flow of letters.
Here are a collection of quotes
recently collected:

This is my eighth child. What
are you going to do about it?"
Unless I get my husbands

business men wishing to finance
foreign sales also to foreign coun-
tries desiring to purchase here.
Despite all the ballyhoo, only
one loan has been made. 1t was
for S4,000,000 and went to the tiny
republic of Cuba. 1t was negoti-
ated, incidentally, by the state de-
partment, not the Import EX-
port bank.
Reason for this inertia is two
fold. One is the fact, that revival
of foreign trade is a lot harder
than the enthusiastic Mr.. Peek
and his cohorts realized. Credits
alone will not do it, unless these
is some prospects of those credits
being paid back.
The second was a bitter clash of
personalities.
Originally, the Import Export
bank was to have gone hand-in-
hand with negotiations of COM
mercial treaties. But Cordell Hull
wanted to negotiate commercial
treaties himself. And he didn't
want George Peek around.
So each went off into his own
corner. And each has done prac-
tically nothing. When the history
of the New Deal is written, the
clash of personalities will get
credit for a terrific toll in errors.

JOHN ROMAN HERE
 AFTER SPENDING
 SUMMER IN WEST

John Roman, wellknown Alaskan pioneer and mining man, who left here for the Westward June 28, arrived here on the Aleutian, to remain indefinitely.
 He spent most of the summer in Seward and in the Sunrise and Hope district near there, where he is interested in mining property. While things seemed rather quiet, there are a number of properties which are being worked in a small way and a good number of people are engaged in small-scale mining, he said.
 People in the vicinity of Seward are enthusiastic about the road work which is being done and further work which is planned, including the missing link" stretch of road. When this is all carried out it will give people near there over seventy miles of fine roads, he said.

1HIS is an easy frock to make

chic that are important in
L late Winter tailored things
An exceedingly youthful effect
Is produced by the single breasted
closing-the unique collar treatment
and the casual cut of the set-in
sleeves.
Straight, slim skirts continue to be
important This has a back pleat to
give the figure jaunty air of free
dom and comfort. The same detail
is repeated in the waist. You'll see
this theme introduced in practically
all the general daytime frocks for
town and country. The vogue for
pockets is deferred to with two of the
patched variety, made with shaped
turned-over flaps and stitched to the
skirt. The simplicity influence, which
promises to be strong for Spring, is
definitely reflected here. Plain though
we thought the mannish shirtmaker
frocks of year ago, these later mod
els go them one better. For they are
shorn of every superfiuous detail.
Frocks of this type are at their
loveliest in the soft, elusive colorings
we find in the new homespuns-the
soft fiannels-the supple knits. In
teresting things are happening in
combinations and designs. Plaids
have grown bigger, checks brighter,

These irritations would not occur in
any one whose blood Is free from irri-

easily realized when we reflect that
not all fat people are subject to either
intertrigo or pruritis.
Local application of soothing salves
or lotions avails little, and this for
but brief periods, for the cause is ever
present, and must be removed before
we can think Of cure of the condition.

She was not afraid. Farmer Browns
Boy had picked that jug up. but he
had carefully put it back just as he
had found it, and to her this meant
that he would not again bother them.
But Danny refused to believe this.
He had been so badly frightened that
he had not yet recovered from it. and
he told Nanny that she wa crazy

found he couldn't make her change

But in this he was sadly mistaken.
He started at a smart rate. but when
he looked back after going a short
distance, Nanny was not in sight
He waited Still no sign of Nanny
He crept back a short distance, and
still no sign Of her.
She thinks that II she doesn't

With this Danny once more started

There were many little paths through
the grass of the Green Meadows,
paths made by other Meadow Mice,
and Danny kept to these for q while.
Once he looked up to see Roughleg
the Hawk just as he started down
from high above Danny fiattened
himself under some overhanging grass
and held his breath. 1t had looked
as If it was at him that Roughleg was
swooping. But it wasn't. He heard
the whistle of wind through stiff wing
feathers, there was q sharp squeak
from Just ahead of him, and then
Roughleg was mounting into the air
carrying a Mouse which had been
running Just a little way ahead Of
him. Danny shuddered and abruptly
changed his direction.
He had gone only short distance
when he had another fright. Yes, sir,
he had another fright that caused him
to freeze in his tracks. This means
that he stopped instantly and re-
mained perfectly still. as still as If
he had been truly frozen. What was

Invitations
BY EMILY POST.

nEAR MRS. POST: My son and
daughter would like to give .
dinner party at our club before one of
the dances for the debutantes here.
VIII you suggest the proper invitation
and advise how long before the party
these should be mailed?"
Answer: The following invitation
should be mailed two weeks before the
evening of the dinner:
Miss Mary Brown
and
Mr.. John Brown
request the pleasure of
name written in)
company at dinner
on Tuesday, the eleventh of December,
at 8 O'Clock,
and to 60 afterward to the
Debutantes' Ball.
"Dear Mrs. Post: ! am at loss to
know how to answer an invitation my
husband and I received this morning,
in which five couples ask us to dance.
We know only the one couple, but even
so, don't know whether dare ignore
the others in acknowledging the invi-
tation."
Answer: This question is always
rather troublesome, because certain Of
these sharing hostesses sometimes re-
sent the omission of their names. 1t
Is possible to include five names in the
body Of your acceptance or regret, but
you couldn't write such list Of names
on the envelope. Therefore, 1t Is
usual to say Mrs John Jones accepts
with pleasure your kind invitation for, "
etc. And address the envelope to the
one at whose house the party is given,
or else to the one you know best, or
the one who leads the list. In other
words, the only way to answer this
type Of invitation Is to address your
letter to whichever of the hostesses
you think best.
Dear Mrs. Post: If boy Is forced
to break an engagement he has made
to 60 to a dinner, should he offer to
get another boy as a substitute? I
think the only reason my hostess was
put out when had to give out, was
that it left her short boy and she
didn't know whom to ask"
Answer: 1t is considered bad man.
ners to break any engagement. and
practically unforgivable to break an
engagement for dinner, for the very
reason that you give. But unless she
asked you to find some one, it was
scarcely your place to offer to supply
her with q substitute-since it rather
implied that she herself would be un-
able to persuade any one to fill your
place.

N VOW here Is q tree that is in
teresting. It has q fine rec
NJ ord and makes q most well
/ \ come neighbor. 1t has been
cultivated In the northeastern
part of our country for some years.
Where it has been left to its own
sweet will It has established lovely
groves, edged streams, and in Canada
has covered vast regions that ap-
proach the Arctic Circle. You can
always distinguish this variety by its
heart-shaped leaves.
It is claimed that all the trees are
of only one sex and that no one has
ever found father tree. This, scien-
fists say, indicates this tree is OF
hybrid origin and may be from a for
eign source.
The tree itself is very handsome
and grows to be rs to 100 feet high,
with a sturdy trunk whose gray bark
is broken into broad ridges. The
branches are greenish and may be
smooth or warty.
The wood is weak, soft and light
brown. The buds are long and slen-
der, and glossy with yellow wax.
Some folks have said the wax keeps
them from freezing. This is not
true. The wax coats the bud to keep
the water it has within, and prevent
it from absorbing more. But in the
Winter the glossy bud freezes stiff, a
matter that bothers it little.
The flowers open in March, some
time ahead of the leaves. They are
scattered over the trees, in dropping,
spikelike clusters. They are hairy,
with Is to 80 stamens crowded on
the disc. The anthers are pink or
pale red, the pistils are green with
spreading stigmas.
The leaves are broadly ovate, acute,
and are finely and bluntly toothed.
The upper surface Is a glossy dark
green, the under side rusty and paler.
Usually they are inches long, and
dangle from slender stems. In the
Autumn they are beautiful yellow.
In May the fruit capsules hang from
stems 4 to inches long. The seed is
brown and lies on a bed of cotton.
The seed baby is thus able to float
lightly on the breeze, while travelling,
or lie on the surface Of the water, as
it goes merrily downstream.
Besides the wonderful forests to
be found in Canada, you will find
these trees from Newfoundland to
Hudson Bay and Alaska, southwark to
Maine. Michigan, Nebraska, Idaho.
New York and British Columbia.
The tree should be planted for its
ornamental properties. 1t is lovely
