HORSE PLAY


HORSE PLAY
Are you going to the races,
Are you betting on the bay?
See those three year old steppers,
Watch them trot, heyl hey!
Tar-ra-ra bum de ay!
Not baker in the set;
Pick your horse most wisely,
Maybe you'll win your bet.
Get out the long distance glasses,
See them prance up and down again!
Who? why the kings horses
And, the kings men.
Across the pond in England
Or down in old Kentuck,
Everyone's talking horses
And praying for some luck.
Horses, horses, crazy over horses!
High stakes and hell to pay;
So bet your money on the winning horse
While somebody bets on the bay.

ChiIdren's Party

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
On two occasions my little boy
has gone to a friends home for
O little party. The little boys
mother asked me over too and I
accepted. She is a very sweet
lady and I like her.
Now I am planning to give
my little boy a party I would
like to have only children at
tend, because I don't feel that
7 can alone entertain children
and ladies. (She had some rela-
tives to help her). I could ask
her alone, but I don't like to
slight all the other mothers who
are also my friends.
Gould she feel hurt or insulted
Il I don't ask any one Of them
at all? She has never visited me
yet. What should I do to act
Justly? READER.
Under the circumstances, and
especially since you aren't in
viting any Of the other moth
ers, I think that it would be bet
ter not to make an exception Of
this friend.
However, very soon after this
children's party, would like to
have you invite this woman who
has been so kind to you, to come

to your home, for luncheon or
tea. She has made two hospi-
table gestures to you, and it
would be gracious Of you to
make some pleasant indication
that you appreciated them.
Handkerchief Initials
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Which is more correct: to
give handkerchiefS with the last
initial or the first initial, or
should handkerchiefs given to
an acquaintance carry the last
initial, and the first initial for q
very dear friend? M.
The really good form, the best
form, is to have the handker-
chiefs embroidered with the
three or two initials Of the per-
son to whom we are giving
them. This adds a special dis
tinction to the gift, and makes
a very definite difference be-
tween the handkerchiefs that
we can buy already marked
with an initial and the ones
that are specially embroidered.
But if you choose to use only
one initial it is better to choose
the last initial for an adult,
and the first initial for a young
person.

COLUMBIA TO CARRY
THAMES BOAT RACE
British Sports Experts 10 Follow
Oxford-Cambridge Crews
With Microphones.

The 1894 Oxford Cambridge boat
race, seth meeting between the two
great English universities on the
Thames, will be described over the
Columbia network Saturday, March
II, from 9 to $50 am. Eastern stand
ard time. The sports expert Of the
British Broadcasting Corporation will
follow the crews with a portable
transmitter.
Oxford's Blues will be fighting to
redeem themselves, for their shell has
not crossed the finish line first since
1928, and by winning last years race
Cambridge established a new record
for consecutive victories. The course
extends from Putney to Mortlake on
the historic Thames. The first race
was rowed in 1929.
One of England's greatest social
days is occasioned by the annual race
between oxford and Cambridge. Boat
day is celebrated throughout the
island empire and the ladies and gen.
tlemen Of the British peerage rub
shoulders with the lowliest to cheer
their favorites. The color of the spec
tacle is heightened as the river is
crowded with all manner of pleasure
craft, leaving only narrow lane for
the racing shells.
