The dame hates stockings.

I quizzed her and later her husband, Burgess Meredith, an Ohio boy who made good about John Steinbeck's play they'll do in Dublin starting July 10. va no intention of getting embroiled in a controversy between your father and this canine, m'boy On the other hand, Gorgon, if you have occasion to answer the phone Hare the telephone disconnected Or that can't be arranged don't answer H.

When the word is properly pronounced, the accents fall on second and fourth syllables, thus: pre-PAR-uh-TOE-ree. (The of the second syllable is flat as in "carrot, parrot." Q. Why does the word "wrestle" start with and why do so many people mispronounce the word as if it were spelled "ras-ael" D. A. The survives from the Anglo-Saxon form "wraestlian," which became the Middle word "wrestlen," which later dropped the and became "wrastle." (Note.

There is no word in English beginning with "wr-" in which the is sounded.) The pronunciation "rassel" was proper when the spelling "wrastle" was current. Chaucer wrote, "The wrastling for this worlde axeth a fal." But the spelling with wrestle has been the correct form for about 300 years, and the pronunciation "Tassel" is now dialectal. Be sure to rhyme wrestle with "vessel," thus: ress'l. A I A 7T- promises he'll get in "on the ground floor." "There's a difference," he says, "between being in on the ground floor and being the ground floor." WITTICIZING Banker J. F.

Ike, by the way, came into a YOUR HOROSCOPE By FRANCES DRAKE room where all the- performers Watch the word gherkin, a kind of small cucumber used for pickling. Do not say "JUR-kin." In English, all words beginning with "gh-" are pronounced with the hard as in ghastly, ghost, ghoul. Therefore, gherkin has the hard sound, thus: GUR-kin. Also watch the third syllable of "mercantile." Not MER-k'n-teel." A careful check of all the accepted dictionaries in my library fails to disclose any sanction for the "teel" sound.

The British pronounce it "tile" to rhyme with "file." But in America, best usage is "till" to rhyme with "fill, hill," thus: MER-k'n-till. Just out, 1947 PRONUNCIATION TEST.

ENGLISH: An almost universal BOBBY SOX CARNIVAL 1CUT I SOUTH A 10 7 5 3 2 5 2 A A The bidding: South West North East Pass 1A Pass 1N.T.

Pass 3 A Pass SN.T. All Pass North should have bid four spades instead of passing to three no-trump. As a general rule, it is easier to make game in a long and strong major suit than at no-trump. In some hands this is a fairly close point, bocause sometimes it is easier to make nine tricks than 10 no matter whether the long suit is a major or a minor. However, the major suit should bb preferre especially when it is coupled with unbalanced distribution and the best results will be obtained in the long run.

As it turned out, the contract of three no-trump would have been fulfilled but for the fact that East happened to be a fine player and very much on his toes. West opened the seven of diamonds, and East restrained the impulse to finesse his nine-spot, ordinarily the best play. It was clear to him that five of dummy's spades could be brought in as tricks. It was clear also that West had led the top card of a worthless diamond ho'ding, so that South was marked with the king. A routine diamond play by East would allow South to win the first trick, set up the spades, and make his game if he had three fast tricks in clubs.

The only chance to set the game was to play on the assumption that West had a heart holding strong enough to win three tricks. East, therefore, acted at once by taking the ace of diamonds and leading the ten of hearts. West carefully ducked when South played the queen. East later gained the lead with the queen of spades and led another heart, permitting his partner to take three heart tricks to set the contract. language, spoken everywhere but in England and New York.
