(This is the sixth of series

"Buck" O'NeM will discuss the
chances of the Philadelphia

II Joe KrakausKas, Ken Chase,

Henry Coppola pitch to the high
est expectations of President
Clark C. Griffith; if Yves Ferreu'
Jimmy DeShong and Pete Apple
ton reclaim the apparently lost Sc
cret of how to win, the Nationals
may storm the first division.
Another fundamental weakness
that only a complete return to
form by Rick Ferrell can over
come is in the catching staff.
Ferrell last year had his worst
season under the big tent. His
catching was not so bad. however,
as he ranged second to Bill Dlckey
among the regular receivers.
GRIFFITH OPTIMISTIC
Jake Early and Pat Livingston,
two rookie catchers, are on the
club roster this spring. Neither
boy hit very hard last year with
Chattanooga or Charlotte. All re-
ports indicate that Livingston is
the better catcher of the two.
President Griffith processes to be
most optimistic over the pros
poets of his young pitchers. Kra-
kauSkas showed a live fast ball
last season, winning four games
and losing one. His form was any
thing but smooth last year, and
he will undergo a polishing
process this spring.
Chase showed lot Of ability IN
streaks last year. and under the
guidance of crafty Nick Altrock,
may be able to maintain a win
ming stride.
Joe Kohlman was a sensation
In the minor leagues, winning rs
games and losing only one in the
Eastern Shore League,
BATTING PUNCH NEEDED
The pitcher who should help
the local warriors is Dutch Leon
ard the knuckle ball expert from
Atlanta, Brooklyn and way sta
tions.
Yves Ferrell, with a touch OF
luck, may improve greatly upon
his record of last year. Ferrell
lost enough games by one run to
drive the average pitcher to dis
traction.
A real punch in the batting order
is a cardinal need of the Ma
tionals.
Johnny Stone. one of baseball's
finest outfielders, led the Washing
ton club in driving runs home. He
sent SO teammates over the plate.
AL Simmons drove 80 runners
over. Then came Lewis with 79 to
his credit.
TINE FOR TRADES
There still is time for trades to
be made that will strengthen the
; Washington club. President Grit
fifth is trying manfully to make a
deal for Joe Kuhel, and if he can
talk Jimmy Dykes into giving up

tually dumb.
NOW I am not contending that
women invariably show good
taste or Judgment in the selection Of
their clothes. Far from 1t. All about
us we see ladies who look as II their
worst enemy had dressed them.
Withered old women in frocks that
would be too young for their grand
daughters Fat women whose backs
look like a tub Of lard and skinny
women who are nothing but an ana
tomical display Of ribs and vertebra In
the same decolletage at parties. Tall
women and short women wearing

wonders what malign devil influences
so many women to pick out the clothes

II husbands could prevent this bv

knows it would be their sacred duty
to do so, but they would make even
worse blunders than their Marias do.
For the average man has little imagina-
tion about dress, as witness the hideous,
dull-colored, tubular garments he In

crude taste in color, and not one man

Nor do they bear suitability in mind
Every middle-aged wife has had her
husband ask her why she didn't buy
a pink chiffon like the one some pretty

Extending Dinner
Invitation Not
Necessary.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: We are two
young men who would indeed be
grateful for your opinion. We de-
cided several Sundays ago to drive
somewhere for the day and telephoned
a friend more than a hundred miles
away. I asked her If her sister was
at home, and if so, we hoped she
would be free to see us too. They
expected us late in the afternoon,
which is when We arrived. We sat
talking for an hour or 50, and then
suggested that the four Of us 70 for
dinner. 1t so happened that there
was no place to have dinner on Sun
day in that sleepy little town, so we
mad to drive to another 20 miles. Now
we would like to know whether you
don't agree with us that it was up to
the girls to prepare at least a snack
OF supper for us. or else not to have
so enthusiastically said over the tele-
phone, Yes, do come, we would love
to see you!"
Answer-Questions like this are al
ways hard to answer because I know
so lew OF the circumstances, but I
would say that since your friend said
nothing about staying for supper when
you telephoned, you should merely
have gone to see her and her sister fdo
they live alone?) and then. having
stayed Tor an hour or so (as YOU did).
take leave! If when you got up to
60 you were not invited to stay tn
supper, would in your place have
said goodbye and left. It was not
necessary to invite them to 20 out
to dinner with you (you had the per-
fectly good excuse Of having to get
back to town., but since you did in
vite them, can't see why they should
have felt obliged to cook supper for
nEAR MRS. POST: Is it unsuitable
for 10 or IL young women be-
tween the ages Of l8 and 20 to 70 to
a large hotel to have dinner together?
This group comprises q bridge club
and We would like to 90 out some
evening as I've explained above, in
stead Of playing bridge. Some Of the
mothers think that perhaps a group
Of young women having dinner by
themselves will look conspicuously out
Of place.
Answer-In an ultra smart restau-
rant Of a great city-a restaurant not
attached to a hotel, and to which
patrons 60 to dance as well as dine
1t would seem strange to see no mat
ter how many young women dining
alone together. But in any restaurant
belonging to q hotel, such a group
would attract no particular attention.
There would, Of course, be no impro-
priety in their going even to the first
restaurant. but conspicuousness is
never in best taste.

worries about having = good time OF
being popular himself.
All Of the social failures We know
are selt-conscious people who are
baslcally selfish. They always want us
to recognize their social charms and
graces. In case we're little slow In
discovering them, they foolishly talk
more and more about themselves. In
stead OF appearing witty and impor-
tant, they seem exactly the opposite
dull and boring.
So, If you're self-conscious and
haven't all the popularity you desire,
try this new plan: The next time
you're one Of crowd, forget about
yourself and do all you can to help
some one else have good time.
1t won't help you to go about prac-
tlcing popularity as if you were playing
part or rehearsing a speech. Make
it a natural, everyday part Of you.
You're sure to win!
For maids Uho get around:
CMILES and sincere complimel Is
often substitute excellently for
the kisses you often don't want to
give. A touch Of your hand, an in
fection of your voice may work Won
ders, too.
If you reward a boy in this way.
whenever he has paid you a nice COM
pliment or has done some favor for
you, he may never realize that he's
not being rewarded with kisses.
If you can develop the possibilities
OF the smile, the appreciative glance
and the tender touch. you're a maid to
be reckoned with. You've got the So
called red hot mamas gasping for
breath in their rumble seaH-hanging
on the ropes
Being subtle will give you the repu-
tation of being smooth number. Be.

Moment

THERE are some people born with

THERE are some people born with a
complete indifference to window
shades. Dressing and undressing in
front of a window with the shades
clear up means nothing to them. And
when you suggest that perhaps they
are being a bit immodest, they look
surprised. No one can see in a second
or third story window, they'll tell you.
People don't go around peeking at
you all the time, anyhow. And even
if they did see, what would it matter?
They don't know you, and you don't
know them. And anyhow, what's
wrong with undressing? Every one
does it.
They can make you feel positively
evil minded over your suggestion that
the shades be pulled down.
Probably they have a lot of right
on their side. I'm not willing to con-
cede all in the first round to the
shade-down school. Somehow it seems
to me there ought to be a happy
medium. Don't take all your clothes
of with the shades up. But don't be
afraid even to comb your hair until
they are pulled down.
Less fanaticism is my motto
And there are fanatics on both sides

itself. for the same little girl who
made clothes for paper dolls now de-
lights the hearts of young girls from
coast to coast. And she still dislikes

every unusual accent-roWs and rows
of buttons on dresses, gowns slashed
down the back and tied together with
tiny bows. zlppers on sleeves, ap-
phqued flowers at the bust line and
all the other little tricks that make
her designs really young had to be
originated by Miss Kaye, for they
are certainly typical of her.
She knows what young girls want
and she gives it to them She
realizes the things that girls look
for in a dress-the cute little ac-
cents and the bright colors.
They want slim waistlines full
bust effects and slender hips" she
explained, and these dresses are
made to accentuate the bust and
minimize waist and hips" And that
is the secret-knowing what is right
for youthful styles. "Dirndls are good
for the girl with large hips" she
added, for the fullness is a camou-
fage-people don't know whether it's
you or the dress that is bit wide.
We are making dirndls for next
spring, too, so that your fall dresses
will be equally as smart then as
now"
Ellen Kaye is an intelligent, charm
ing person. She looks the part, and
she acts as though she were ready
to step into one of her smart little
frocks and dash off to a fraternity

if she had disappointed us?

w YHOM DO women dress to
\n/ please? Do they get their
" " clothes with view to at
tracing the masculine gaze
or to turn their sister women green
eyed? 1t is a problem as old as which
came first, the hen or the egg, and
as little solved.
A famous man columnist undertook
the other day to unriddle this riddle.
He opines that women dress for men
and, such being the case, he thinks
that women, and especially wives,
make the mistake of their lives in
not taking their husbands shopping
with them and getting the benefit of
their advice and judgment in picking
out their hats and gowns. Such, he
tells us, is the custom of continental
Europe, where husbands take a real
heart interest in their wives clothes
and do not feel, as Americans do, that
they have done all that could be ex-
pected of them when they pay their
bills.
But the gentleman does not 20 into
details as to how the plan works
out, which is perhaps just as well,
because observation has shown those
Of us who have Travelled much abroad
that the rank and file OF American
women are better dressed and more
smart looking than even the same
class Of French women. So husbands
clothes sense can't be so superior after
all. Also, there is abundant evidence
to show that when husband picks
out his Dolly's frock she doesn't stay
any more glamorous and alluring to
him than she does when she selects
them herself. So what?
X X
THERE is no use in getting excited
over the matter, however, for
one Of the foreign customs that will
never be imported into America is
that Of wife leaving the choice Of
her wardrobe to her husband. The
Most trusting woman wouldn't do it,
unless she happened to be married
to man milliner or dressmaker. and
then she wouldn't think his taste
was so hot.
Indeed, the one subject on which
American husbands and wives univer-
sally agree is that shopping together
Notwithstanding that shouldn't be
risked unless they are seeking cause
for divorce. Most men are as terrified
of entering a department store with
their wives as they would be Of VEN
turing into a jungle filed with ravenous
animals with only a woman for pro-
lection. And most wives regard going
on a buying expedition with their
husbands as an ordeal that qualities
them for martyrs crown.
Far, far better our pleasant division
Of the clothes proposition, where the
wife has the fun of buying what she
wants and the husband, having had
no responsibility in the selection,
has the diversion Of ridiculing 1t and
saying: What is that contraption,
your new hat? 1t looks like q COM
bination epileptic flt and a case Of
deiirium tremens." Gosh, you don't
mean to say that wisp of nothingness
is an evening gown! Why, there
isn't enough of it to make a pen.
