While she was followed by more

is a breed that must retain its own
characteristics in order to preserve
its identity.

should be V-shaped, set high and

The body should be short, well-rib-

chest. A hard coat of black-and-

by two aggressive and progressive
organizations in Wales, the Welsh
terrier was accepted by the English

Many of the best early specimens
were imported to this country. and
they started quite vogue for a
breed which is still steadily growing.

super-refnements and eXaggerations
which have made other terrier
breeds too great a problem for
many people, the Welshie is a real
little dog.
The Welsh terrier has been used as
an earth-going dog since the early
18th century. The otter-hound pack

Included several Welsh terriers. The
first Welshie exhibited was in 1885,
the year the Welsh Terrier Club was

Hobbies and Lobbyists
News of Activities Here and Nearby
By Edmond Henderer.

1t was the lucky accident of q
casual glance at book found on a
table In the Public Library that
started Miss Lucille Hoyme on her
present hobby. Each chapter in this
book was headed by a letter of the
alphabet. and the text told of the
history and development of these
letters. Her interest aroused, Miss
Hoyme decided to go into the subject
more deeply.
Reference to an unabridged die
tionary and an encyclopedia revealed
a wealth of information, which she
duly absorbed. This has been sup
plemented by wide reading on the
subject since. Miss Hoyme started
keeping a notebook on the material
gathered, and, among other things,
began to copy therein the characters
of all the alphabets encountered. It
thus might be said that the back
bone of her hobby consists of this
collection of alphabets. She now
has more than so of them. 1t is diff
cult to set an exact number, because
in many cases some are so similar
to others as to almost be one and
the same, while in other cases a set
of characters has evolved out of an
earlier set. The alphabets range
from Sanskrit and Egyptian up to
modern Russian and German.
Shortest Alphabet.
The longest and most difficult al
phabet Miss Hoynle has so far at
tempted to collect" is Sanskrit,
which has some 125 characters. She
has not finished work on it yet, hav-
ing just started on the diphthongS
In contrast to this there Is Hawaiian,
which contains only y letters and
is the shortest in her collection.
Apropos of the latter, Miss Hoyme
is very much in favor of simplifica-
ton of our alphabet. Without
claiming the idea to be original, she
points out that there are a number
Of our letters having the same, or
nearly the same sound. This dupli-
cation could we'll be eliminated. and
some other simplifications would be
possible.
Miss Hoyme has not vet collected
Chinese or japanese, although she
has learned considerable about
them. AS YOU may already know,
Japanese is founded on Chinese, and
the Chinese have no alphabet as we
understand that term. Instead their
symbols stand for words and occa-
sionally for syllables. It is therefore
almost impossible for any one per-
son to know the characters standing
for all the words in a living Ian
guage, and it requires many years
of study to master those needed for
the simplest sort of writing.
Collecting alphabets has led the
collector to many other related sub
jects. For instance, the origin of
most alphabets is lost in the early
legends of the people to which they
belong, and in tracing the characters
back to their beginnings. Miss
Hoyme has read these legends, and
from them has often gone on to read
the history and study the geography
of the races and countries involved
Furthermore, this interest in the

Sending pup away to training
school and having him come back
a credit to the breed and his trainer
may be all very well as far as the
training goes, but it leaves both the
dog and his owner little the poorer
for having lost the intimate contact,
the rapprochement, which comes
from training your own dog. The
results may not be so polished, but
the comradery between owner and
dog is much greater.

tically no cost and with lots Of

alphabets has produced natural
interest in the language, and she is
in fair way to become an accom-
plished linguist. She is at present
studying four languages.
Another side line developed from
these interests has been the making
of Illuminated books in the style of
those produced in the Middle Ages,
before the invention of printing.
Miss Hoyme displayed, as a sample
of this work, small parchment
volume containing the Lords Prayer
in eight different languages. This
book is careful copy of the type
of work produced in European mon
astarieS during those centuries when
the lamp of civilization was nearly
extinguished on that continent. The
art of producing such manuscripts
is as nearly lost now as that of
writing was when such books were
made.
To return to the a1phabets, Miss
Hoyme has several contemporary or
recent ones which were produced
for definite purposes, but are not
national in character or in general
use today. One such alphabet is
made up of symbols designed to look
as nearly as possible the way they
sound, and intended for use in teach
ing speach to people who were born
deaf.
Miss Hoyme hopes some day to
1ooryo oh al hotc -
compile a volume giving as nearly
as possible the complete history, with
derivation and evolution, of each
letter. She is keeping her note book
with this idea in mind and building
up the story of each character as
she goes along. At present, of
course, her main interest is the
acquisition of more alphabets, to-
gether with all possible information
as to their origin. meaning and use.
This involves many trips to the
librray and much study and re-
search.
As a relief from the too ardent
pursuit of this hobby, Miss Hoyme
enjoys playing the piano, and she
also has handicraft hobby at which
she shows considerable skill This
last is the production of costume
jewelry, mainly from the modern
and popular plastics. At the time
of our interview in the lobbyists
home at 165 V street NE, she was
wearing a nice ring of her own
manufacture.

Included in Vests holding were

small heart, which I won in dummy
with the queen. I was set one trick
as I could not set up the spades,
although they were split 3-3 M
husband says I should have made
the contract, but has never told me
how. Can you?'
The contract is not an easy one,
but in the circumstances described,
it can be made. 1t presents only
one chance, and when there is only
one chance it should be taken. Your
second play was doubtless to finesse
the jack of clubs in order to 60
through Vests king of spades. The
club finesse lost, and that was a
mistake. After winning with the
queen of hearts, the proper play,
the one chance play, was to lead
a small spade away from the ace
queen. Regardless of whether East
or West won the trick, pass the
next lead of hearts and win the
third lead Of that suit. Then you
can fnesse through the king Of
spades and win four spade tricks
meanwhile discarding a heart and
two clubs from your own hand.
Then lead a diamond; if East wins
with the ace, the side will take no
more tricks. North and South will
