James Jr. Divorce Figures In Customary Use Of Bride's Initials By EMILY POST This wistful question comes from a husband: "Will you please tell me why everj-thlng in my house has to be marked with my wife's initials? It Is true that I have left it to her In my so long as I live It's my house. And yet, every blessed thing in It is marked my wife's ones as well as present. "Well, I don't care very much about myself, but our son Is being married. He is a surgeon.

Our wedding present to him and his to-ide is a set of table silver. My wife says )t should all be marked M. B. J. lor the bride, Mary Brown Jones.

My son is Robert Haynes Smith. "A friend of mine has put It into my head that the reason why things are marked with the bride's name Ls that If she obtains a divorce, all' those initialed Items are her own. As the father of the groom I don't like the Idea. Perhaps you can explain to me how this all came about, anyway. Please print your answer soon, because we are waiting to mark the silver according to you." In answering this, can assure you that your friend is wTong about the divorce motive.

At least it Is true that long ago when divorces were practically unknown, everything in the house was marked with the bride's maiden initials. Today, when divorce hangs hke a "sword of Damocles" over too many marriages, it has become customary to mark all wedding presents -with the bride's married initials. I do agree with you that nothing Js more stupid than going into a house of the Smiths and finding all the towels in the bathroom marked with a for Jones, as well as the napery tor the table. But there are certain things that are marked for the husband! First, his name on the door-knocker! Glasses lor all beverages not served at table. There is also one new of marking matching bathroom with two cets of initials-half and with hers to hang cn one side of each towel rack, and those with his to hang on Some time I wrote an article called "Party For A Soldier On Furlough" which 1 am now having reprinted and TTUI be very glad to give to anyone sending a 3-cent stamped, envelope to in care of this paper, PERSISTENT A local motorist has a market fori his automobile any time he de -l (ides to sell.

Miss Loroa Tuck, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Edward Tuck of 80 Chatsworth Avenue, Larchmont, and Seventh Lake, N- Was married this morning at 11 o'clock to Pfc. James William Colbert, A.U.S., son of Mr. and Mrs.

Jd.me3 William Colbert of Chatsworth Garden Apartments, Larchmont. The Rev. Thomas A. Sportsmanship Means Playing Fair With Your Parents By DOROTHY DIX A group of girls asks me if I will give them my idea of a girl who Is a good sport. Well, my Idea of a girl who is a good sport is one who plays fair.

Especially with her mother and father. She doesn't take everj'thing and give nothing. She doesn't let Mother sew her Angers to the bone making her a pretty party frock and then, when Mother asks her where she is going and when she will be back, tell her it is none of her dam business and that she will come home when she pleases. She doesn't keep her father hump-shouldered paying her bills and then scoff at his opinions as thoes of a senile Dodo. On the contrary, she recognizes that her paients have worked hard and made many sacrifices for her, and that the least she can do Is to give them a run for their money by being affectionate and companionable to them and causing them as little anxiety as possible.

Has Brave Attitude My idea ot a girl who Is a good sport is one who has the brave attitude towards life. There is not a whine in her whole system. She takes what comes in her stride and makes the best of It. Maybe she would like to be a play girl Instead of a working girl. Undoubtedly she would like to wear the sUks and satins and furs and jewels she sells to rich girls.

Surely she would like to lie abed of a morning Instead of haring to punch an office time clock. But if she would, you never hear it from her. She never bemoans her fate. She thanks God she has the intelligence and ability and grit to hold down a good job. My idea ot a girl v.ho is a good sport is a square shooter.

She is honest and frank and above iward and she doesn't consider that her £ex is an alibi for fibbing and welching and double-crossing. She doesn't hold up the boys who date her and make them spend more money on her than they can afford. She doesn't jolly a poor simp Into taklrvg her to a party and then ditch him and spend the evening dancing with other men. She doesn't have a birthday every time she sees a bag or wriat watch she wants. And.

If she is a business girl, she doesn't try to make sex appeal take the place of good work, and rolling her eyes substitute for accuracy and efllciency. My idea of a girl who is a good sport is one who plays the game. She is not puffed up by prosperity nor down-hearted over misfortune. If she Is rich, she is not a snob. If she Is poor, she Is not a toady.

She is neither a braggart nor a sell- pitier. She neither runs after men nor away from them. If they show her attentions, well and good. If they don't, also weU and good. Life is full of a number of things lor her besides dates.

My idea of a girl who is a good sport Is one who carries on. She is no quitter. She doesn't sit down and wring her hands and cry every time she meets a difficulty. She doesn't give up when the sledding gets hard. She simply Ijcnds to her work and puts her heart and lier back In It and struggles on to success.

Ail ot the big business and professional women are good sports. So are the v-ives who hold their husbands. Because they don't give up the time things go wrong. That is my idea of a gocd sport; That's the girl lor my money.

A Thought for Food SERVE JELLIED MADRILENE Jellied Madrliene FrieU Chicken Dry Ric- Broccoli Com Sticks Chilled Grapes (Recipes Serve Four) JeUied Madrliene One veal bone Mixed soup greens One clove garlic Salt and pepper to taste Three quarts water Three cups cooked tomatoes One bay loaf One teaspoon celery salt Simmer all these Ingredients gently for four or five hours. Skim several times during the process. Strain carefully through a fine sieve. Cool and remove grease.

(Add vegetable coloring if you wish it very red,) Chill thoroughly In the refrigerator. This makes four very generous portions and keeps well in the refrigerator if carefully covcretj. Th? question of whether home-made jellied soup will jell is problematical, but veal bone Is most likely to make It work. However, If you want to Insure the jelling, add one ta'olespoon of gelatin to the above, dissolving It in some of the hot soup firct. This will not make It stiff, an unbearable quality in madrliene.

Encourage Child In Accomplishment Of Handiworks By ANGELO PATRI "He Is such a handy boy," "Kate Is so handy about the house." That is old fashioned praise but just as desirable today as it was In our grandfather's time when "handy" was a compliment meaning gifted in handwork. Most ot what we learn about life we learn through our senses and the most effective of them all Is found in the fingers of our two hands. We touch and get the texture, temperature and weight of things. We handle them, that Is, we change them with the movements of our fingers and the feeling in them to something different and much wanted. We can take a bit of clay and make It into all kinds of useful and beautiful things.

We can take materials of all sorts and through the skill of our hands, change them into necessities ot comfortable living, it we are "handy," Intelligent in our hands. Was Taken For Granted In days gone by this hand Intelligence was taken lor granted. Only dull people were unhandy. To be called "unhandy was to be classed among the unfit. Our recent generation ot children are not allowed to be handy and so are behig cheated of a vast lund ot Intelligence.

Just check on what your children can do with their hands. List their accomplishments against the child ol 1800 and then ask what is the matter with our training ol children. When a child a skill, even as simple a one as tying a knot, he has added skUl to his touch, power to his hands, inteli- gence to his mind. Every skill he masters adds to his mental physical ability and puts him somewhat higher on the upward, lor- ward march toward success. Work Must Be Real There Is an important element In these experiences, however, and 11 it Is wanting, the work will not Junction.

The knot that is tied must be real, must be useful and necessary to the work in hand. Tying knots that are just knots along a string won't do much lor the child beyond exercising his fingers. When he ties the knot In fishllne, a hoisting pulley, a sail line or in a stanchion, he grows by the experience. That knot has to hold or something unpleasant happens. When It holds he feels pleasantly responsible and elated.

He goes up in his own estimation and that is tonic to childhood. What can your child do with his hands? Just see how handy he really is. Encourage him and praise him lor handiness keeping In mind that it Is hand Intelligence you are fostering, not getting a Job done. The good job is the reward of handiness but the real quality we seek Is the intelligence, the the skill. We cannot have too much of that.

A child can forget an old habit when you teach him a new this is the way to avoid bad habits! Angelo Patrl has written a helpful leaflet on this subject, P-10, "Changing Habits." To obtain a copy send 5 cents (coin preferred) to him. 0 this paper, P. O. Box Station G. New York 19, Y.

have a peaceful family. The same would go for the world too, I am suie." Civettinl Is the proprietor of a delicatessen store. A Mamaroneck housewife and former teacher told Mrs, John MuehlUe of 504 Chestnut Avenue, that she wondered It It were possible to keep the peace at all, "Because of the mixture of nationalities and temperaments by Europe, particularly In the Balkans," said the housewife, "wars on a small or large scale seem almost inevitable. A strict international police force? Yes-and right on the scene. Its action should not be dependent at any time upon an act of Congress," "I would like the men I vote into Congress to see that America relies on her own strength." a beauty parlor operator told Mrs.

Julius Silver of Greenhaven. "America will have to be armed to the teeth and have her muscles bulging," she continued. "That's the only way we'll be safe from enemy attack, even by robot bombe. I want one foreign country on our side, though, and that u.ll be Uncle Joe Stalin. He's winning the war for us in Europe nd he ought to have his own way on the continent but I would like him to be our friend In the future." "Let's rely on our own strength; we'll be better off" was the statement of Cnrtord Brower of 550 Mamaroneck Avenue, Interviewed by Mrs.

James Helming. Anthony Russo of the same address told her that "something has to be done. Of course a lot of people against one can win, but I still think we're better off alone." Another woman at that address declared, "We must do something to make for a lasting peace. We must all get together and work on it Otherwise you can't bring children Into this kind of a world. You have no right to, Joseph Crutcher of 1251 Flagler Drive answered Mrs.

Harvey Conover ot the same address In this manner: "By joining a union of nations we would show that we are a nation for peace and happiness. we had a union of nations we would understand what was going on. Pulling together would work better than trying to stand by our own strength. 'United we stand, divided we fair." PROPPED CP. back to back.

RECUPERA'nNG James M. Peterson of 132 Chatsworth Avenue, Larchmont, is recuperating from an appendectomy at the New Rochelle Hospital. BARCIIA ON BRIDGE UNWISE PASS COSTLY 2T CAN cost you just as much to pass when you should bid as to bid when you should pass. That is especially true of opening bids. When you are vulnerable it Is especially important to bid when you have enough for a sound opening.

Failure to do so opens the door for a wily not-vuinerable opponent to begin the auction with a psychic which may talk you and your partner out of a game. Especially be sound when you are in the second hand position, just at the left of the defiler, for then your not-vulnerable foe is in the third-hand spot which is ideal for a. confusing psychic ca'i. 4Kgs A7 64 3 A 8 4 J64 QS7 4 A 10 6 4 QJ952 J4 (Dealer: West.

Pass 1 Pass Pass Pass Pass East Dbl South Pass Rdbl Dbl 4 Players with a penchant for trickery were in the East position at both tables ot the team match where this hand was contested. Both tried their utmost to bamboozle their opponents, but only one of them got away with it. Why? For the simple reason that North had made an Tinsound original pass. At the flrst table North was one of those players who think your cards won't take as many tricks when you are vulnerable as when you are not He therefore wants more strength for an opening bid. His fetish cost his side the deal.

After his pass, it was pretty hard for South to make a vulnerable spade ovcrcall of the heart. North could not very well bid over West's No Trump bid, and when it reached South again, he could not dare to try spades at the level ol two. Can you imagine Soutb's chagrin on contemplating North's original pass, after his side had taken the first eleven tricks? It produced a score of a dinky 250 points for his side. At the other table. East could not bamboozle the opponents after North had opened.
