There was little to make them
happy after they lost the first game

For seven innings Hudson had a

Luck was still with him in the
eighth, when three Brownie singles
failed to produce the tying run, but

Neither club threatened in the
tenth and darkness prevented fur
ther play.
The Senators runs were earned,
but two of them came the easy way.

Lewis each singled in the first tally.
Then in the seventh, three Brownie

Hudson and Case singled off Den

with pitched ball to fill the bases,

orally overweight, you can lose in

and unless you can count on getting
these from your committee, decora-
tions might better be omitted.
Once you have figured costs on all
these items, you can get a good idea
of your total expenses, and deter
mine how many tickets you'll have
to sell, at how much, to make the
affair a financial success. If it still
looks feasible, the next thing is to
get your invitations or tickets
printed, and start gathering in the
money.
The more you can take in in ad-
vance. of course, the better of you'll
be. Having to depend on sales at the
doors to pull a dance out of the hole
is. the sort of thing that shortens the
lives of committee chairmen.
Posters announcing the dance will
be helpful. Having them printed
costs money. but perhaps an artistic
member of your group can letter a
few, for posting in the windows of
neighborhood stores, on school bull
letin boards. or in other strategic
locations available to you. Also, the
men who conduct certain local radio
programs can often be induced to
announce your dance over the air,
which will be big help If the gen.
eral public is invited.
At the dance itself. see that your
patroneSseS or chaperons are escort
ed to the hall, and if you are hav-
ing a receiving line or welcoming
committee, make them a prominent
part of it. Even for a semi-public
affair, it's nice to have a couple
of "greeters" at the door to give
strangers or partial strangers a
cordial welcome.
If possible. line up a few noble
hearted stays who will give any po-
tential wallfiowers an occasional
whirl. Have a few crowd mixers
and other stunts planned to get
any bashful couples out on the floor
and keep your guests amused. These
should be in charge of an amateur
master of ceremonies with a strong
voice, good line and plenty of
self-confidence --- ....e

handled by some one who is quick
at figures and who doesn't leave
things on buses or in restaurants!

Older People
ShouldPay
Travel Invitation
Same as a Party
For Youngster -,-
By Emily Post

Whenever older people invite a
younger person teither man or girD
to go on motoring trip or on a
cruise or to travel no matter where,
it is exactly the same as being in
vited to a dinner, or to the theater
or to any other party. All bills are
presented to, and paid by, the host
Cor hostess). This question of pay
ment worries many of my younger
readers. In fact typical question
is this one described to me by
boy:
MY best girl friend who has
been my best girl ever since gram
mar SCHOOL, Is going East to college
So am l. Her family is driving her
East and have invited me to 60 with
them. They plan to stay at hotels
along the way. I would like to
know what share of the expenses I
should pay, and how I should go
about it."
As have already explained, you
should have no expenses other than
pocket money for incidentals, such
as papers or magazines, or other
items at the newsstands, or for any
thing you buy.
Dear Mrs. Post: Would it be
proper for a young man and girl to
go on a weeks trip with friends
their own age who have not been
married very long?
Answer: Certainly! A man and
his wife, no matter how young, are
proper chaperons for no matter
whom, or where.
