UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Now and then we may read bit
about the GuianaS. but we do not
hear so much about them as other
parts of South America. Yet they
are of Importance, and contain
people, animals and plants with
special interest for us.
ThelGuianas are the only colonies
on the mainland of South America
All the rest of the continent (not
counting islands) is composed OF
republics.
Guianas, and Holland owns an
other. The third is classed as part
of the French Empire, but there is
a question as to whether a real
France exists today to own it. With
France under the heel of Hitler's
army. we can hardly think of France
as a country which. owns anything.
Holland. also, -hasssuffered con-
quest, but her casas IS somewhat
different. The Dutch QOen escaped
to England. and her empire has kept
it's spirit of freedom. -
Oddly enough. Dutch Guiana has
entered into the history of the
largest city in the United States.
1t was obtained from Great Britain
in trade for New Amsterdam. The
name of New Amsterdam was
changed to New York. The deal
took place in 1867.

OVERCOAT

West opened the ten OF diamonds,
East overtaking with the jack in
order to make sure of continuing
the suit. South ruffed the third dia-
-mond with the ten of trumps, re-
lieved when West followed suit.
Now South could afford to lose
one trump-but not two. His safest
play was to lay down the ace of
, trumps at once-and that, to his
qualification, dropped Vests blank
king. 1t was then simple matter
to enter dummy with the space ace
to finesse through Easts jack of
hearts.
Now look at the other side of the
picture Suppose South plays the
hand thoughtlessly by going over
to the spade ace to make the first
trump play from the dummy. The
finesse of the heart queen loses to
Vests king. and South then re-
gains the lead.
But what does he do next? Does
he take another finesse in hearts?
Or does he bang down the ace in
the hope of dropping the jack?
Whichever he does-he is just guess
ing. And the advantage of South's
actual play is that it spares him
that guess; for he will lose only
one trump trick unless West has
three or four headed by king jack
in which case no play would sue
ceed.

There are hardly a thousand white

Most of the land is covered with

lands have been cleared to some

Before l close, I must mention
a famous little animal which makes

Mother Is Always Right - This
Time It's About Wearing A Hat
When was first asked whether
the guest of honor at fiftieth
wedding anniversary might wear a
hat in the afternoon, my impulse
was to reply, Certainly not" But
when read on through the letter
decided that as usual mother
was right" This is the letter:
IF wedding anniversary cele-
bration takes place in the house OF
a daughter, may the 'bride'-who
is past 70-wear a hat? This is
an afternoon at home and think
mother should not wear a hat. But
she would like to and says 1t would
hardly look strange to any one
since she doesn't live in my house,
l might add that / am taking it
for granted that the reason why
mother wants to wear a hat is that
she has chosen one which COM
pletes her dress and which is most
especially becoming TO her.
A Young Mans Visiting Cards
Dear Mrs. Post: Will you be kind
enough to let me know whether or
not a young man should leave his
visiting card at an afternoon tea?
Answer: Card leaving is Gus
tom that is today followed by very
few people (outside of diplomatic
circles) and in these instances only
because of a lingering loyalty to
old convention. Which was, of
course, to leave a card in the front
hall at reception or very large
tea to show the spelling of a name
and the address, so the hostess
could add them to her visiting list.
Today, as always, this is important
only when a guest knows the
hostess very slightly.
How to Keep from Having to Say
Yes
Dear Mrs. Post: II some one
whose invitations / have been re-
fusing should invite me so far
ahead of time that it would be i'm
possible to say that I was busy for
that date, how could l put her off
because I don't want her to con-
tinue asking me.
Answer: You might perhaps say,
I'm sorry, but I couldn't make an
engagement so far ahead. I'm not
even sure I'll be here" This is
at least the answer that many pro-
fessional people have to make,
since to break an engagement after
having made it, is definite breach
of etiquette. 1t is also, as you
probably realize, friend-losing
habit that might all too easily be
acquired.
One Initial Suitable
Dear Mrs. Post: Is single
initial suitable marking for all the
household linen and silver? 1 don't
like the combinations of our initials
and thought the initial of my fu-
ture last name would solve the
problem.
Answer: The SINCE initial would
be suitable; in fact, those that are
worked into some kind of design
