Write Note of Thanks
to SYMPATHETIC Friends

n EAR Mrs. Post: Is it proper to
~ acknowledge notes sent in SYM
pathy with a thank you card? 1 be-
lieve that friends and acquaintance
should eventually be thanked by
note no matter what the extent Of
their expressions of sympathy, but
my daughter feels that for slighter
expressions a printed form could be
used. In fact, she thinks that these
times, and birthday and anniver-
sary occasions are the only ones
when printed cards of thanks would
be suitable. Will you give us your
opinion.
Answer: In return for a card an
other card is suitable. But thanks
for a present or real favor or any,
thing as serious as letter of con-
dolence must be answered by a note
or at least handwritten message.
Sympathy shown to a family in deep
mourning can be answered with
fewest handwritten words on a Wis
iting card. This limited answer is
obviously permitted because of the
effort that any longer reply would
be to one in sorrow. Moreover, less
near members of the family may
write in the places of those most
nearly concerned.
Mourning Husbands Death
n EAR Mrs. Post: I have lost my
- husband and will shortly leave
to make my home with sister on
the West Coast. ~ 1 would like to
send a written note of resignation to
local club of which I have always
been a member and wish you would
suggest what 1 write. (2) Also, will
you tell me whether it would be in
correct to wear black satin slippers
with a black dinner dress while I
am wearing mourning? find it i'm
possible to get suede ones that are
comfortable.
Answer: (1) You write to the Sec
rotary of the club, wording your
note more or less like the follow
ing: Dear Mrs. Green: Owing to
the changed circumstances in my
life and the uncertainty of my ever
returning to XX-town to live, it is
with very deep regret that I must
ask you to present my resignation
at the next meeting of the board of
governors. Sincerely, Mary K.
Blank" ~ Black satin is not suit
able for mourning but any dull silk
would take the place of suede.
Birthday Gift Puzzle.
n EAT Mrs. Post: My sister and
are invited to the birthday
party of neighbours son. Mother
and this neighbOr are dear friends
but we hardly know the son. Are
we each supposed to take birthday
presents to the party? We always
take presents to other birthday par
ties but in those cases we knew the
hostess or host very well. And yet
we would hate to arrive at the party
the only ones to be empty handed.
What do you suggest that we do?
Answer: If were you I would
take a trifiing present from both of
you together-not because it is nee
essary, or even customary to take
present to one whom you scarcely
know, but because he is the son of
your mothers friend.
Teacher on Telephone.
n EAR Mrs. Post: When teacher
~ announces herself ON the tele-
phone, to a student / mean, what is
the proper form?
Answer: This is Miss Green" or
This is Mr. Blakely."

By HENRY McLEMORE
tUnited Press Stan Correspondent,

with any faith, because the ball players and the fans consider him blind robber from start to finish.
 Few friends drop in on an umpire on his days off. Because of the na- ture of his work his acquaintances mostly are ball players-and ball players and umpires don't mix. There's actually no rule against it, but the llnwritten law of the dia- nond says that when the game is over the players must go one way and the men in the blue the other. They don't even stay at the same hotels when they can help 1t.
 What I've always wondered is what the players say to the umpire when he calls a strike on them and they turn around and start jabber- ing at him.
 Sometimes" Parker said, "they are beefing at me. If they smile when they call me what they some times do call me, don't chase 'em. But if they got little bit of a snarl in the voice I shoo 'em to the clubhouse. You know how it is you've got to judge each case on its merits.
 Surprised?
 X "But here's a funny thing. Lots of times when the batter turns around and sticks out his jaw he says something like this: Well, that was the pay off pitch all right; a perfect strike; I could have ridden that into the stands; kick me in the pants after the game, vii lyou?'
 "As soon as player starts talk ing to the umpire, though, the fans figure he is giving me the works and they start yelling for him to pour 1t on."
 Parker told me something I had never thought of before. Presidents have been impeached, judges have been removed from the bench, gov- ernors have been busted and ball players, themselves, are sometimes crooked (you remember the Black Sox, of course?) But never in the history of the major leagues has an umpire been even so much as ques- toned concerning his integrity.
 We're proud of that" Tiny said. Copyright, 1887, by United Press)

New York, April 22-(UP)-Tr1e rain beat down on the roof of the Lincoln hotel.
 I knocked on the door of 1730 and a voice said, Come in" I went in and shook hands with Tiny Parker, youngest and smallest um- pire in the National league.
 The last time I had seen him he was working behind the plate in the exhibition baseball game at the Olympics at Berlin.
 "The Giants and Dodgers are rained out today, all right" he said looking out the window into the wet, outside world. Don't know how I'll kill the time. Glad you dropped in"
 I had never thought much about it--what an umpire does on a rainy day, but here I was about to find out. It won't take long to tell you what he does.
 Nothing.
 Model Ump
 That is he doesn't do things like other people do. Go to the movies, for instances. That's bed for the eyes and you need good eyes when guys like Hubbell and Blanton and Mungo have all their stuff and are nicking the corners.
 Have few drinks? Not for an umpire, Parker said. It might make them jittery and they have to do quite a bit of hopping around, on those close plays at second. Nobody can see through a cloud of dust when he has a head the. size of Gehrig's batting average and hands that are webbing like a Fitzsim- mons knuckle ball.
 There's another reason for an um- pire not drinking, Parker ex- plained. A hangover would make him doubt himself, and if he loses faith that leaves exactly nobody

FOLEY OPINES TEAM IS FAIR
Pitchers Please ugy Coach = TOrringtOn
 Saturday

Naugatuck, April 22.-Coach Peter J. Foley is wearing contented look these days, and when Pete" looks contented, that's news. The reason is the early promise given by his Naugatuck high school baseball team in its opening victory over Seymour high here, 10-3.
 Not So Bad
 Coach Foley told The Democrat today that the team looked pretty fair which is a strong admission for cautious Pete to make. Last year the Seymour team defeated by To score Naugatuck high nine that later captured the Naugatuck Val- ley league title.
 So the opening triumph for the Garnet may indicate good season, the coach believes. He was quite pleased with the performance of his three pitchers, Mariana, Shea and Began, who held the opposition to three hits as a total for the day. MT. Foley believes it is sometimes better to have three fairly good tWirlerS than one excellent pitcher and the other twirlers not 50 good.
 Schedule
 Naugc tuck will meet the Torring- ton high combine here at Recrea- ton field Saturday afternoon and it is expected this will be a good test for the team. Other games on the schedule are: April 28, Wa tertown here; May l, Naugatuck at Ansonia; May 8.

 New York, April 22.-(UP) The bewhiskered old man with the scythe who's been chasing Rogers Hornsby for six years to mark "finis" to his major league baseball career had better put on a sprint if he ex- poets to catch him this season.
 The St. Louis Browns opened their season yesterday and routed Chi cago White Sox, 15-10, but that wasn't the important thing about the days only game.
 Hornsby, who'll be Al years old next Tuesday, started his 23rd year in the majors at second base for the Browns. The same HornSby they were saying was through as far back as 1882 when he started to slow up with the Cubs played tho entire 2 hour and 29 minute game.
 Great Work
 The remarkable thing was that Hornsby not only played, but that he smacked out three nits, more than he did during the entire 1886 season, mad handled three chances perfectly. One of Hornsbys hits was a home run. Not an ordinary homer "a drive of more than 430 feet into the center field stands at Sports mans Park. His other two htis were singles, one of which drove in a run.
 Hornsby has trained hard for this comeback. He worked like slave at the Browns San Antonio, Tex.s camp.
 Hornsby needs 86 hits this season to crash into the circle of players who've made 5000 hits during their major league life. Ty Cobb tops them all with 4,191. Others to make 5000 hits were Iris Speaker, Hans Wagner, Eddie Collins, Nap LaJoie and Cap Anson, the first to turn the trick. Hornsby's lifetime major league average is .359.
 The Browns crashed out 9 hits yesterday, driving Vernon Kennedy, a 21-ganne winner last year, to coverA in the fifth inning after making IA hits of him. They continued to pound Dungan Rigney, who relieved him.
 One Bad Inning
 oral Hlldebrand gave up 17 hits but kept the White Sox in check until the eighth when they staged B 6-run stampede.
 The Browns leading hitters were Harland Gift, who got $ for B." Knickerbocker, who slugged out four hits and Rollie Eelnsley, who also got 4. Joe Vosmik was the only Brown who went hitless.
