Markey, Latona Close.

HUNT. it is claimed, cannot be de-
MED the second ranking position
in view of the manner in which he
breezed through the Middle Atlantic
event without the loss of set, Climax
ing it by swamping Lieut.. James Nc
Cue, an out-of-town player of no mean
ability, in the final. McCue had elimi-
mated such excellent players as Ma
ther, Mitchell and Stan McCaskey.
Mitchell, ranked third, reached the
final of the District. semi-finals Of the
City of Washington and quarters of
the Middle Atlantic. Welsh, McCue
and Garnett were the only ones to
beat him in tournament play. Lynch,
who closely approached Mitchell's con-
sistent record, was a semi-finalist in
the city and District tournaments and
q finalist in the playground open,
which he lost to Welsh. Mitchell was
the only other local racketer to de-
feat him.
A hairline difference was detected
between Markey, ranked fourth, and
Latona, rated just behind. Iatona
was semi-finalist in two tournaments
to Markey's one, Markey was quar-
ter-finalist In two to Latona's one, and
both, in addition, reached the round
of 16 in a third event. Although
Latona won the Federal employees
tourney, the highest ranking player
he defeated was McElvenny, while
Markey lost only to Welsh, Hunt and
McCue throughout the season. He
extended Welsh to three sets once
and lost to McCue only after an
extended match.
Unanimous on Mrs. Robinson,
SHORE, ranked behind McElyenny,
had a record comparable to his
immediate predecessor but was de-
feated by the bespectacled young law
yer in the Middle Atlantic. Mangan
and Mather rounded out the first
10 and Stocklinski earned the elev-
enth position by his consistent per-
fornances. He was found in the
round of 16 in all tournaments except
the Fairgrounds open. Although Hy
Ritzenberg reached the semi-finals of
only one tournament, the committee
felt his defeat of Hunt and Shore
should not go unrewarded. Hence, his
fourteenth rank.
Margaret Robinson was q unani-
nous choice for the women's queen as.
like Welsh, she won every tournament
which she entered-the city, Woman's
League and Army-Navy. Mary Cootes
decisive defeat of Edith Clarke in the
finals Of the District gave her the
runner-up post despite the fact that
Miss Clarke was the finalist In three
other tournaments. Sara Moore won
the public parks and Federal employees
championships, in which her supe-
riors did not compete, and was semi
finalist in the District, city and
Woman's League.

women's first 10, Willie O'Steen (the

Its <games and dances, and make
believe" they themselves are the
children of the distant lands.
Parents as well as the children
are fascinated by interesting incidents
pertaining to getting the dolls. Mrs.
Douglass tells an amusing story of
her attempts to secure 9-inch doll
from an inland tribe of East Africa.
Twice the native intrusted with
this mission returned months later
with long 14-inch doll. The
women of his tribe did not play
with smaller dolls" he innocently
explained.
In East Africa, it seems, only
grown-ups play with dolls, while the
children play mother" with sticks,
knotted at one end, for their babies.
Finally the native was given a nine
inch piece OF acacia wood and told to
have doll made from that A year
later he again appeared with another
14-inch doll and said naively, The
| wood must have grown"
THE children love the six-inch
brown beeswax doll that "Old
Claude the oldest living Aborigine
| OF Australia, made and presented to
Mrs. Douglass. This doll wears only
loin cloth and is bald but for q
slight fuzz. "Old Claude" spent two
years, at the request of the Queen

season for wild beeswax to complete
the doll for American children.
The tiniest dolls in this inter-
national colony of good will are only
an eighth of an inch high bride and

Your Graduation
Announcement
Problems.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: Is it permis-
sible to omit personal cards from

and merely sign our names at ths
bottom? 1t isn't possible to send in
vitations since only few tickets OF
admission to the exercises can be pro.
Vided for each graduate, as the class
is large and space limited. But there
are many relatives who would be in
terested, I am sure. to know that I

Answer: I see no objection to your
suggestion. However, now that the
question of graduation announcements
has come up again, I would like to
suggest a new kind of form to be sent
under such conditions. The usual
form, judging by what my young read
ers tell me, is one that Is sent by the
school and announces the graduation
exercises as having taken place. Each
graduate then sends this announce
ment and incloses his and her own
card. 1t has always seemed to me
that these announcements could be
made more personal were the wording
similar to the following:

years ago, been taught to love the
children of China, the chances are,
they might not be at war today.
Perhaps the best and most graphic
way to do this is by the use of costume
dolls.
And that is what one mother has
been doing for 20 years. Mrs. Hazel
B. Douglass of Alexandria, Va, a
teacher Of little folks, has assembled
Tor this purpose the most complete
collection of costume dolls in the
world. Every country, island and
peninsula is represented.
She conceived the idea at an inter-
national peace conference in San
francisco. There it was suggested"
Mrs. Douglass says, that kindergarten
teachers try as an experiment to teach
peace with costume dolls from the
various countries. The results have
exceeded her fondest expectations,
Her dolls are constantly in demand
for clubs, churches, schools and even
EXHIBITS for educational purposes.
Mrs. Douglass has had many oppor-
tunities to procure authentic costume
dolls in foreign countries. Beginning
with few, she now has over three
hundred silent messengers of peace.
AND because Of her ideal plan, hun
dreds of American children today have
| friendly understanding and deep
sympathy for children across the seas.
y
MRS. DOUGLASS believes that the
child's toys and early teachings
mold his future thoughts and ideals.
And she has found that many agree
with her because foreign lands re-
sponded eagerly to her ideas. The
United States Government, through
Its consuls, also foreign ministers.

schools abroad, lent their enthusiast
tic cooperation.

sent beautiful profile photograph
