Post

This is an unsolvable contro-
versy: Some of my friends think
| it is in very poor taste to display
cards with wedding gifts. They
think it just encourages people
going around looking to see who
gave what, when actually their
chief interest should be in the
gifts. Some even think that peo-
pie who send very little must feel
embarrassed to have the fact en-
phasized. 1t Is natural, of course,
for the bride to tell what her
parents and the bridegroom's
parents gave, and. possibly, rich
Aunt Agatha. but I'm referring to
the rum -of -the-mill gifts"
While not considered improper
to show them, especially If there
are unusually many. it is in
rather better taste not to.
Anniversary Invitation
Dear Mrs. Post: My sister and
would like to invite our friends
and my parents friends to come
in on their wedding anniversary
day. Our house is tiny. and we
can't invite every one between the
usual 4-to-6 hours for tea. Could
we invite some from 2 to 4 and
other from 4 to 6? Could any
feel hurt and think they were in
yited at the wrong" time?
Answer: You cannot have two
hours and divide your guests. If
the house is very small, you have
to reduce your list to your parents
intimate friends.
Payment for Hospitality
Dear. Mrs. Post: I'm going to
spend my vacation "a week Of it,
in a little town in which my
f1ance works. I'm staying at the
house of some of his new friends,
a young married couple with a
small child who are strangers to
me. I know from him that they
haven't much money and won-
dered how I could pay my way.
I don't want to hurt their feelings.
Mrs. B. has written me a note
inviting me.
Answer: One way would be for
you and your f1ance to take them
out for meals while you are there.
The note of invitation from Mrs.
B. certainly puts your stay with
them on a personal basis and it
would be unthinkable to consider
it as anything else. You might buy
the child a toy-especially if you
find out something he wants.

Redskins Regain Quirk
For Bulldog Clash;
PEBBLES Doubtful
By Lewis F. Atchison

Ed Quirk will be back in the
Redskin lineup Sunday when
Coach Billick Whelchel leads his
men against the Bulldogs in New
York. But the good news was
tempered by doubt concerning
Tackle Jim PEBBLES.
Whelchel and his aides expected
to get more definite information
about PEBBLES status today when
he leaves the hospital. The big
tackle spent two days in sick bay
with his neck in traction, that is,
being stretched a bit to relieve the
pressure on a pinched nerve. 1t
is the same type of injury that
bothered John Koniszewski two
years without anybody realizing
Its seriousness, and finally forced
his resignation before the start of
the 1949 season. It is not i'm
probable that PEBBLES is at the end
of his football career.
PEBBLES loss will be a big one.
It was he and John Steber who
knocked Frank Kilroy for a loop
and opened the way for Rob
Goodies touchdown run against
the Eagles last Sunday. And with
big Jim on defense Philadelphia S
Steve Van Buren found himself
unable to make more than two or
three yards through the line.
IF our rockies had handled
right tackle as well as PEBBLES
did the left side we would have
given the Eagles much more
trouble" commented Line Coach
Herman Ball. "Our backs would
have had a better chance on
offense and the Eagles would have
found fewer openings.
Quirk's return, plus the re-
turn of Moose Stovall, the con-
sistent work of Center AL Demao
and the improvement of Guard
Herb Siegert give Welchel four
good reasons to hope for a smash
ing brand of defensive play
against the Bulldogs. Quirk isn't
in perfect physical condition be-
cause he has been running on his
damaged ankle only one week.
His timing has suffered from the
long layof (since September) and
he isn't as sharp as he will be.

that the picture was taken at a

One of those Monday morning
quarterbacks collared Coach Bo
Rowland of George Washington
at the Touchdown Club the other
day and asked Rowland how come
G. w. permitted the Washington
and Lee fullback to 60 through
the line so much.
THAT was all pre-arranged,"
answered Rowland. I'VE knew
that no big football player like
that could run all night. We let
him run all he wanted to and
sure enough along about the last
period he was so tired he couldn't
run another step. So he had to
pass, and we intercepted the pass" :"
