1nfantrymen Score 1924 Tri-
umph In Overtime Contest;
Tide Water Wins Tilt

W. L. I. came from behind IN the
final quarter last night, after trail
ing almost the entire game, to tie
up the ball game and then went on
to win by rs to "a in the extra
period over the Y. M. c. A. team in
a Service league encounter on the
Y court.
The win gave the W. l.. I. csgers
u~ndisputed possession of the second
half title.
The game started clean and fast
and closed fast and rough. Gieschen
tailed first for the Y and was fol.
lowed by a two pointer by H. Nc
Keithan. At the close of the quar-.
ter the Y led by 9 to 8. Pretty
pass work enabled the Triangles to
add to their advantage in the second
period, which ended with tn e
Greenies out front by II to 4.
Whereas the first half was
productive of some nice offensive
play, the second half developed into
a defensive battle. Neither team
was able to find the ring and the
quarter closed at 10 to 16. Early
in the final canto, Boylan's two
pointer closed the pay to n point,
but this was annulled by Gieschen's
field goal. Bethea's free shot, Gro
| martie's ringer and Boylan's second
two-handed pitch put the W. L. I.
out front for the first time since the
| early stages. Davis knotted the
count with his only field goal of
the contest as the whistle sounded.
In the extra period, the Y scored
first on Won Oesen's gratis shot but
the w. l.. I. tied it when Boylan
converted. Cromartie then sunk a
shot from the corner for the decid-
ing points.

Proper Dress
For Family
AtWedding
Members in Deep
Mourning Must
Relieve Black
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS POST: My mother
would like to know what she can
wear at my wedding, which is TAX
ing place four months after the
death Of my father. Mother is
wearing mourning clothes now and
will be at the time of the wedding,
but she insists that we 90 on with
our wedding plans especially as
the scene of the wedding will be
some distance from our home. NV
f1ancee is accordingly wearing a
white brides dress and a veil and
having several attendants. Mother
doesn't know what she and other
members of my family who are in
mourning should wear at the
church. There will be no general
reception afterward.
Answer: The most suitable thing
for your mother to do is, 1 think,
to wear black and add purple to
her dress-violets, for example,
either real or artificial. If the lat
ter, she might possibly wear a toque
of violets. Or at summer wedding
she could wear all white. Other
members of the family might add
white in the same way that I have
suggested the violet for your mother.
All white, by the way, is as deep
mourning as all black. Black and
white is second mourning. Black
with purple when worn by a mem
ber of the immediate family at q
wedding) is considered deep mourn
ing-but only on this particular oc-
