There was much to do.
Ma felt she did the work of ten
Instead of only two.
Towards night she was so tired
To work she had no will
And then she thought of Sunday
The chicken she had to kill.
Ma never killed a chicken
She left that job for Pa.

Ma thought of all its virtues.
Her worn and toil filled years.
A big, tight lump filled her throat
And she was close to tears.
Then she thought of roosters
And how they strut about.
She thought of Pa then grabbed

And gave a clear cut clout.

was the transfer of John Hope,
who was a third team All Star
selection.
The Redskins have scheduled
games with Hughestown and
Pringle before the opening of the
regular season. Also on the list
is an Alumni contest, both boys

new to the league, Thomas ven-

Dallas Township finished last in

in etiquette. Here they are:
1. First-name calling. Miss
Kent finds no fault with this
practice in circles where it's
taken for granted. She says
that position and age should
be respected, and children
shouldn’t call adults by their
first names.
2, Trousers on women.
“Slacks are not incorrect dress
for resort areas, sports, and
lounging at home,” says this
expert, “but are improper for
2ity wear. Of course,” she adds,
“some women are mistaken to
wear them ever.”
3. The younger set (past
vighteen) after midnight. The
modern young woman and her
young man head for home
alone or with other young
friends, stopping off for a late
3nack.
4. Posture. “I don’t believe
we should revert to the ram-
rod stiffness required when our
grandmothers were young wo-
men,” says Miss Kent, “but a
little more gracefulness of pos-
ture would eliminate a great
American cyesore.”
5. The tyrewriter supersedes
the pen. The typewriter for
personal cor-espondence is now
aot merely approved but fa-
vored. Formal notes, such as
answers to formal invitations,
should be penned by hand. And
letters of sympathy seem
warmer and more sincere if
handwritten.
6. Manners after divoree.
Years ago, divorced couples
TEN IMPORTART ETIQUETTE CHANGES
LISTED BY EMILY POST'S ASSISTALT
Anne Kent, personal assistant to Emily Post for more
than 15 years, has listed for the December issue of
Cosmopolitan magazine the ten most important changes
shunned each other. But today,
many of them remain good
friends or, at least, on sy-al-
ing terms.
7. Women and nicotine.
Sherry’s, famous old New
York society restaurant, for-
bade any woman to light a
cigarette on the premises. The
modern woman reaches for a
cigarette almost whenever er
~herever she has the whim.
8. Calling on new neighbors.
This old American custom is
vanishing, a casvalty of World
War II. Miss Kent belivves
that “people's instinctive kind-
ness will eventually bring back
the courtesy call.
9. Buffet meals replace big
dinners. The modern hostess
who gives a dinner party can
prepare ahead of time, relax,
and ask the guests fo help
themselves.
10. The decline ef chivalry.
Since gaining a more equal
status with men, women no
longer expect deference as the
“weaker” sex. Unless she’s in-
firm or elderly, the modern
woman must hustle for a seat
on the subway. And that old
nats-off-in-elevator rule has
been completely revoked in
business-building elevators.
According to Miss Kent,
feminine independence has
been paid for out ef the cur-
rency of male chivalry. And
many a woman seems to be-
lieve the purchase isn't worth
the price.
