Famous May Festivals.
The May festivals at Miss English's
were justly famous, with a grand
triumphal parade Of the pupils end
ing in the coronation of three kings
and queens. Each queen was preceded
by two little crown bearers and "a
maids of honor. Not to be extended
an invitation was to be excluded from
Georgetown's four hundred. Promi-
nent fathers whose children were in
attendance prepared the orations
which they were invited to deliver as
faithfully as the pupils did their parts
for this occasion of occasions. A
whole band" furnished the music
for the professional and for the grand
ball, which took place in the room
adjoining the school. This day OF
days was concluded with q supper
for all of those in attendance. Pre-
pared with loving pride by the schools
Negro staff, it was justly rated a mas
terpiece of culinary art.
In 1859 Miss Narrower took over the
school because Of Miss English's fall
ing general health and greatly i'm
paired hearing. Miss English. how
ever, retained her own apartments in
the school plant and her interest in
this her educational godchild con-
tinued unabated.
The original school building itself
has had quite as remarkable a history
as the school.
During the Civil War it was taken
over by the United States authorities
Just previous to the Battle of Bull
Run. Perhaps no finer tribute has
ever been paid a Georgetonian than
the placing of this hospital quartered
in THE Seminary" where so many
of his kinspeople had been pupils
under jurisdiction of its eminent resi-
dent and surgeon, DR.. Armistead
Peter. This assignment was made by
the Federal authorities, too, despite
the fact that they were fully cogni-
zant of DR.. Peters Southern SYM
pathies and connections.
To Andrew Carnegie. then a young
secretary winning his spurs under
Col. Thompson Scott of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, was delegated the re-
sponsibility of conveying the wounded
from the battlefield of Bull Run to
Washington. With that vision and
organizing genius which were destined
to build up for him the second largest
fortune in the world, he utilized for
this task the then scarcely known and
newly invented Pullman cars. Under
Andrew Carnegie's personal direction
the first brigade Of wounded troops
reached Washington In Pullmans. 1t
IS not unlikely to suppose that some
of these troops were quartered in the
building which had once housed Miss
English's pupils. II so, that distribu-
ton of wealth program Of Andrew
Carnesies which later made possible
the Georgetown Branch Of the Public
Library, wherein there are today pre-
served certain records Of Miss Eng
nsh's school, forges a new link Of in
terest for Georgetown itself with the
life and achievements of this great
adopted American.

Ideal Expressed.
The ideal which inspired Miss Eng
lish's Seminary is best expressed in
her catalogues own phrasing. She
tells us that her aim was ito promote
the comfort and happiness Of all
within the sphere of her infiuence-in
a word, to so direct and aid them in
acquiring that amount Of mental and
moral culture necessary to render
them amiable, intelligent and useful
members of society" In a further
paragraph she reminds the parents of
students that she takes 1t for granted
that she is authorized by them to di-
rect the efforts Of pupils toward the
attainment Of such moral discipline
as is necessary to secure that object
even though she does not consider it
"as falling properly within our prov
ince as the primary object of our at
tention."

ANTICIPATING THE BID

Spouse most likely will be in your
weakest suit, diamonds. If you
open one spade and your partner
responds with two diamonds
which, incidentally, is now a one
round forcing bid-what can you
rebid?
You can not rebid spades (only
a four-card suit), you have no
other suit to name, and your hand
Is not strong enough to carry the
bidding to two no trump. You
would lie trapped.
Therefore, this hand can not be
opened with one spade. But, since
the hand as a whole is substan-
TALLY stronger than a minimum
opening bid, you are likewise not
justified In passing with so much
strength.
In such a dilemma you should
open the bidding with one club;
ana Cnen, no matter what suit
your partner names in response,
you have created a spade rebid
and, at the same time, you have
kept the bidding at the one level.
II your partner responds with
one no trump or two clubs, you
can pass. Opening the bidding in
three-card minor suit in such
a situation is not dangerous.
There is little likelihood that
the bidding, will be driven to game
, in the minor suit, for minor suits
often are approach suits toward
a possible no trump contract; and
game in minor suit generally
should not be contracted FOR, until
a possible three no trump contract
has been found undesirable.
If your partner does insist upon
the club suit, his hand undoubt-
edly will contain an independent
ly biddable club suit, in which
event your club holding will be
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-04-17

sufficient to constitute adequate
trump support.
Today's hand is an example of
what good players do, to avoid
passing hand substantially
stronger than a minimum opening
bid, where the naming of the only
suit in the hand will leave the
bidder unprepared to rebid.
The same theory is applied in
similar situations when respond
ing or when rebidding. You must
always try to anticipate what your
partners next bid may be and
with what you can respond to it.
If you do not do this, you may be
trapped for rebid.
This is the second important
element of the principle of pre-
paredness; that is, the creation of
a rebid in a hand that apparently
has none but is too strong in the
other requirements to permit q
pass.

Is Spring Tonic
of One Woman
BY ALICIA HART

A spring tonic which stimulates
you mentally and physically, putting
a shining quality into your eyes
and making your smile infectious,
doesn't necessarily have to be a med
icine or a diet. Tt may be fine
book that sets your mind at work
in a new and fascinating fashion.
Or a vacation. Or new friend.
Late last spring I saw a woman
who looked as if she had been Sleep
ing soundly and taking outdoor exer-
else with vengeance. Her skin
was blooming. Her steps were light.
She seemed fairly to dance when
she walked. She appeared about
ten years younger than she had
earlier in the winter. When asked
about the change she simply said,
"Well, you see, I've just learned to
read"
just learned to read! Yet here
was a woman who had graduated
from fine college years before and
who had held many good positions
She meant, of course, that she had
just learned to enjoy, understand
and retain printed words.
Her taste in literature has changed
radically since then. She enjoys
history, biography and the daily
newspapers. Naturally her CONVEX
sation is more stimulating, and her
eyes have continued to shine and
sparkle. She was a nice person
before. Now she is an utterly charm
ing one.
There are others who lift them
selves out of late winter doldrums
into a true Easter frame of mind
by taking up some outdoor sport. A
weekly game of tennis or a round Of
golf do a great deal for dropping
spirits and sallow skin. A three day
liquid diet, followed by weeks OF
sensible eating, will remove extra
poundage which often depresses.

More thought is given to youth

Belzer, Boy Scout executive, told
Seventh District Federation of
Clubs members today at meet
ing at the Claypool.
I'm the Bible we find references
to youth training, and history shows
us that the Athenian youth was
trained to citizenship from his early
boyhood," Mr.. Belzer said.
youth training must be figured
in world progress. The modern
trend is toward giving youth a
greater share in solving its own
problems. Outstanding agencies in
this are the home and church, cou-
pied with character building and
social welfare agencies"

given following Mr.. Belzer's talk.

strokes and rub against the grain of
the wood. Then rub with the grain
until the oil is absorbed and a
