The only foul claim Flana-
gan can recall in a Preak-
ness occurred in 1854, involv-
ing third place Hasseyampa
against runner-up Correlation.
Jockey Arnold Kirkland's
beef against Willie Shoemaker
on Correlation was disallowed,
although the chart footnote
says Correlation drifted out
and Kirkland had to take up
sharply. For the record, Hasty
Road won the event.
However, Flanagan disquali-
fled Tudor Era in the 1858
Washington. D. c., Interna-
tional at Laurel, giving the
victory to AuStralia's Sailors
Guide.
Another time in the Inter-
national an objection by the
Russians went unheeded be-
cause their gesture of claiming
foul was thought to be the
traditional dismounting salute
to the judges.
An amateur SteeplechaSe rider
years ago, Flanagan appreci-
ates good form on a horse as
much as an art lover appre-
ciates the work of an old
master. And, speaking of old
masters, the steward regards
recently retired Eddie Arcaro
as one of the greatest form
jockeys of all time.
He was never out of balance
leaving the gate or anywhere
on the track" Flanagan said.
Tive watched him time and
again and never saw him
snatch up any horses. He Just
breezed through like he was
criving a high-powered motor
car"
Arcaro will be at Pimlico
Saturday, but as a TV COM
mentator, not a rider.
Hes wonderful on his feet,
too," Flanagan said. Hes one
of the wittiest and most articu-
late men I know-never at
loss, for the right word"
But there's no question that
Flanagan would rather see
Eddie ride than talk. He was
pretty to watcn and gave the
officials no trouble.

MODERN
MANNERS
A Correct Introduction Will
Avoid Uneasy Embarrassment
By CAROLYN HAGNER SHAW

An introduction Is one of
the most important items of
personal contact.
All too often one sees a
poor introduction lead to en-
barrassment and uneasiness.
1t is simple to acquire the
ability to introduce one per-
son to another in an assured
and gracious manner if two
points are remembered: One,
that a man. young or old, is
always presented to a woman;
two, that the name of the
person to whom the intro
duction is being made is al
ways mentioned first.
Two forms in general use
today are considered correct
when performing an intro
duction. The simplest, and
the best, is merely to pro-
nounce the names. MRS.
Brown. Mr.. Doe" The more
formal way would be: Mrs.
Brown, may I present Mr..
Doe"
An introduction may be
amplified in many ways. OF
course the manner in which
the presentation is made is
of great Importance. A pleas
ant smile and an interested
tone of voice will go a long
way towards opening the
doors of friendship.
Above all. pronounce both
names distinctly. A mumbled
introduction is a rude one. A
thoughtful person will en-
deavor to give a converSa-
tional lead to those being in
troduced, such as: Mrs.
Smith, Mrs. Green. Mrs.
Green is active in Red Cross
affairs, just as you are, Mrs.
Smith"
1t sometimes takes quick
thinking, and tact, to know
which name to mention first
when introducing two women.
Correctly the younger woman
should be presented to the
elder. If their ages are ap-
parently comparable, no dis
tinction is necessary. The
same rule applies when in
PRODUCING two men. If either
is older than the other. the
courteous gesture is to men,
ton that name first, other
wise it is safest not to en-
phasize either name.
Other pointers to remem-
ber: a husband always intro
duceS men to his wife, and he
should not use the surname.
Mary, Mr.. Green my
wife" The words my wife"
are addressed to Mr.. Green.
A wife, introducing her hus-
band, should not mention the
surname either. Mrs. Smith.
my husband" is the preferred
form. Young people should al
ways present their friends to
their parents. Mother and
Dad, I would like to have you
meet Mary Smith"
Too-frequent introduction
errors include the following:
Mrs. Brown, meet Mrs. Doe"
or Mr.. Smith, I want to

dreadfully awkward.

Questions, Answers
Question: I expect to be
married shortly, and I am
rather in a quandary about
my announcements. I am a
widow and both of my par
ents are dead. My two closest
relatives are an older sister
and an aunt. Which of them
should make the announce
ment?
Mrs. d. E. S.
Answer: The correct pro-
cedure in this case would be
to have your aunt make the
announcement.

Question: When giving an

NAL affair.
Mrs. J. T.
Answer: There are two
other terms that are both
correct and apropos. One,

opinion the latter form is by
far the most gracious.

Putney said he pointed out in

He indicated, however. that the
organization cannot dictate en-

firms if it is to secure industry
effectively and thus bring added
benefits to the community.
Martin said today that the for

will be framed at the state
level. since it is there that the
labor survey is being directed.
He pointed out. however, that
the survey forms. of which
about $1,000 were mailed. was a
