Prisoner Has DTS"
 During Court Trial
Man Awaiting Trial in Cage Causes Temporary Recess
 in McPhee Case-Stimulant Revives Him

it was near-accident which prompted him to answer in that fashion. He told the court he met DeLucca at a tavern in Rockville and after beer or so offered to take him home.
 Only a short way from Scott road where the buSses turn, he said that two girls doomed" up in front of him.
 McPhee said, T was only going IS miles an hour, and that required no energy to stop quickly"
 Prosecuting Attorney William K. Lawlor queried, "But didn't you see somebody in front of you"
 The accused said it was hard to see with spotlights shining in his eyes.
 But I saw them 1oomed up," he reiterated.
 Just at that time recess was called when a prisoner, booked on intoxica- ton and breach of the peace charges went into delirium tremens in the prisoners cage and interrupted the proceeding. He was quickly revived by City Court Guard Joseph Garvey by applying a stimulant. The man recovered and was removed.
 When court resumed again, Mo- Phee took the stand and described what happened when he applied his brakes. He said he was not aware that he had an accident.
 Judge Conway could not see where the state had a case for reckless driving and evading responsibility and dismissed the case on the first warrant.
 The judge found McPhee guilty on the charge of rules of the road, for a collision with another car on Church street and Kendrick avenue causing slight damage A fine of $10 and cost was imposed.
 Judge Conway in passing judg- ment on the second case said he couldn't see how man swinging into Church street could collide with anyone. This accident happened a short time after that involving the two girls.
 Other cases disposed today were, Wallace Clapp, 26, colored, of 102 Brown street, charged with non- support, continuance to December 21.
 Willis L. Pond, 43, of 1014 West Main street, reckless driving, con- tinuance to December 16. Pond was arrested by Motor Patrolman Thomas Phelan and Capt. William Duggan yesterday afternoon as re- suit of an accident on East Main street and Frost road.
 Pond, who drives a c. R. & L. Go. bus, was turning into Frost road when he collided with truck driven by Leonard Garnett, B, of 9 Cali van street, driving a General oil truck. One passenger in the bus, George Stevens, 16, of 102 Circular avenue, complained of pain in the back. Both cars were badly dam- aged.
 A nolle was givenJohn J. Yarosi 18, of 105 ECgewood avenue, ar- raigned on a charge of rules of the road.
 Roland Guertin of R. F. D. No. Worceste avenue, charged with il. legal use of markers, given until to day to pay $10, was ordered by thu court to be notified. He failed to ap' pear this morning.

 ON BIRTHDAY

San Francisco, Dec. 6.-(UP)- Diego Rivera, famed Mexican mur- alist will celebrate his 54th birth day Sunday by remarrying his di- vorced wife, Frida Kahlo, also a painter.
 Miss Kahla, 30, said the possibil- ity of renewing their married life developed very recently. Rivera, however, disagreed,
 T have thought of it always. A very short time ago I convinced her." he said.
 They were divorced in October 1889, after 10 years of marriage Rivera came here from Mexico six months ago to paint a large mural for San Francisco Junior college. Miss Kahlo returned only a. week ago from New York where she had been visiting. She plans to go to Mexico City next week while Rivera completes the mural here.

More, rather than less. then, let me
say, please don't do this! Cut down on
cost if you must, of course; but cut
on the cost of the cards! The most
pleasing card is not necessarily one of
high price. On the contrary. if you
hurry the first thing tomorrow morn
ing before all the nice ones have been
bought. it is likely that the total. plus
full postage, will be less than last
moment buying would result in. and
having to take whatever you can find.
plus half postage.
In answer to the many young women
who want to know about sending an
employer a Christmas card, and par
ticularly about including the en-
ployer's wife: 1t is entirely proper to
send an impersonal though friendly
card to an employer. If he is married
Evening star., 1940-12-15

2 HAD imagined that Christmas
preparations would. perhaps, be
J out of the mood of most of my
readers this year - excepting of course
these who have children. But suddenly
at this late date. the yearly questions
about the sending of Christmas cards
and the choosing of gifts are pouring in
upon me.
First, then, in answer to questions
about cards: 1t is getting very late
to have personal cards printed or en-
graved, and if you are planning to
send cards of this sort, you had better
hurry. There is still time to buy cards
that will be signed by hand, however.
Perhaps you feel, as one of my corre-
spondents did, that choosing a diff
ferent card for each friend - card
that has just the right illustration and
message - is particularly appropriate
this year. However, whatever kind of
cards you send, the rules for the use
of names are very simple.
Even when engraved, the titles MIR.
and Mrs. and Miss should not be pre-
fixed to signatures at the end of the
greeting. When written by hand, this
rule is obviously much more strict.
Names with titles, whether engraved
or formally printed. are correct only
at the top of third person message.
If the message is signed by the wife,
she writes her husbands name first.
If he signs it, he writes her name
first. But when children's names are
included, then the fathers name must
come first, since MARY. John. Johnnie
and the baby would give a very
henpecked-husband impression! A sig
nature such as From the Henry
Holidays - all Five" is very appeal
ing and. of course, eliminates all ques-
ton of whose name comes first.
Properly. when sending cards to busi-
ness acquaintance who are strangers
to other members of your family. you
sign your name alone. On the other
hand, when the person is really
friend. the question of business or
social background is beside the point.
and you include the name of your
husband, or wife, and address the
envelope to MIR. and Mrs.
At first thought, l was inclined to
agree with letters asking whether "the
objection to the shoddiness of sending
Evening star., 1940-12-15

very good friends during the year. l
don't know whether he is buying me
something for Christmas or not Must
girl wait until the man gives her a
present before giving him one?"
To Johns friend and all the other
young women who ask this question,
let me explain the why" of the rule:
He is supposed to give her first gift
rather than she give one to him, be-
cause he would be embarrassed should
he be empty-handed. This would be
particularly bad if he had wanted to
get her a lovely present and couldn't
afford it - and had bought nothing!
On the other hand, in this present
day, for girl to give present that is
neither too personal nor too important
would be quite as proper as to give
one to girl friend.
To the typical letter: MAY give
my employer a present." the proper
answer is NO! On the other hand, if
you have long been in his employ you
may certainly buy useful gadget for
his desk or for the Office. If you are
one of many people in general office.
and are asked to contribute to sum
collected from every one to buy some
thing for him, you can't very we'll
refuse. But this is really bad plan.
which ought never to be started. If
some one suggests it as new idea,
stop it if you can.
To the young woman, or man, who
lives too far away to 60 home, and is
invited to spend the holidays with the
family of friend and wants to know
whether she. or he, should take pres
ents for every one in the family - the
answer is again NO. That is. if the
other members of the family are
strangers to you. you would not take
anything. unless perhaps a box of
candy meant for all. or unless there are
young children. 1t is always proper to
take a Christmas game or toy for each
child
When choosing toys for children.
there is, in my opinion. one infallible
rule: If you are fascinated by toy
so that you want to stand and look at
it. or best of all, put it together or
make it 60. it is almost certainty
that it will delight child. If it bores
you, it is very likely to bore him too!

and you know his wife. you send it to
Mr.. and Mrs, of course. II you don't
know her at all - that is, if you have
never even had friendly telephone
conversation with her - then send it
to her husband alone, but to the house.
There is no tabu in signing your
names on the cards in colored ink to
match the printing on the card. The
same ink may be used to address the
envelopes, and the envelopes them
selves may have bright-colored Innings.
Both these details are part of the
Christmas picture, whereas ordinarily
green and red inks are tabus of taste.
Return Addresses Proper
If YOU are sending cards to many
people of whose addresses you are not
sure, and it is too late to find out
about them. then you may properly
write return address on the envelope,
or if you have them, use return-address
stickers. Remember that the postal
authorities especially ask that, out of
consideration for the harried post
office clerks. you place this return
address in the upper left-hand corner
on the face of the envelope instead of
on the flap.
If you want to send one card but
include other members of the family
besides father and mother. but want
to avoid the questionable super
scription "Mr. and Mrs. Blank and
Family" you can address the envelope
to ''Mr. and Mrs Blank" and write on
the card itself: Love to the children,
too" or Our affectionate thoughts to
your mother and father" or BEST
wishes to your Aunt Kate" etc.
Although people in mourning do not
have cards printed with their names,
it is entirely proper that they send
messages to their best friends and rela-
tives - if they feel that they want to!
But no one expects them to!
Sending a card to friend in mourn
ing is a question of finding the right
one - one that is neither too sad nor
at the other extreme. too gay! There
is every reason why you may send
cards to such friends. More than ever
now. they care for loving thoughts.
Typical is this letter from the girl
asking: John and didn't know each
other last Christmas but have become
