(2) Are | street introductions considered good form? D. C. ! * * * The gentleman need not make an introduction. (2) Street intro- ! ductions are not good form, un less the group joins and walks on together. Dear Miss Flo:—When a pre senting a letter of introduction, should it be personally presented or sent through the mail? Should the unsealed envelope, in which the letter of introduction is plac ed, carry the address of the per son for whom it is intended? Thank you. F. R. Letters of introduction are usu ally sent with the card of the man or woman to be introduced This relieves the introduction of the awkardness which follows the presentation of the letter, and bet- j ter prepares both parties for the meeting.

Is it nec essary to make an explanation? Thank you. R. D. When a hostess finds that it will be mipossible for her to give the dinner, she should immediate ly notify her guests. If it was to have been a formal affair, she -hould send notes, either by mes senger or special delivery at once. If it was to have been a very in formal affair, she may phone. Whenever possible, an explanation should be given. Whether a formal or an informal cancellation is made, the notefc should have a certain warmth to avoid any sem blance of indifference.

Fred Jones Is Convicted of First Degree Murder Although Alienist Says, He Is Insane. Winston-Salem, Oct. 15.—Fred Jones, a negro, was convicted of murder in the first degree in con- ! nection with the killing of Mon roe King, white, in Superior court here when the jury brought in a verdict of guilty tonight after de liberating 30 minutes. Sentence \ will be imposed tomorrow. During the trial, which consum ed the greater part of the court session today, Dr. Anderson, su perintendent of the hospital for i insane at Raleigh, was examined : by defense attorneys and gave it as his opinion that the negro is insane and was at the time of the commission of the crime. The doc tor, who is a specialist in insanity, was sharply examined by the so licitor who wanted to know if doc- J tors do not believe that the majori- ' ty of people who commit crimes are insane. Dr. Anderson stated that he thought alienists general ly held that about 50 or 60 per cent of criminals are insane or have diseased minds. Swapping Dollars “Howdy, Mistah Jones! Habn’t seen yo’ for a long time. What you al’ bin doin’?” Jones drew himself-up proudly. “I’se suah bin doin’’ a heap ob business, Mose,” he replied proud ly. “You know dat gray mare I used to hab?” “Yes, sir.” “I traded dat mare fo’ some sheep.” “Whe’ am de sheep?” “I dun trade de sheep fo’ some cattle.” “An1 you got de cattle?” “Nope, traded dem fo’ some hawgs.” “An’ what am de hawgs wuth?” “Bout sixty dollars.” “What was de gray mare wuth?” "Guess ’bout sixty dollars.” “Mistah Jones, where you been makin’ eny money?” “Go long! I didn’t say I bin makin’ money; but jes’ look at de business I been doin’!”—Country Gentleman. Home Made Stockings All this talk about North Car olina great wealth, considered as per capita sum, is booster fiction. One reason the State is not weal thier is because it sends away for things it ought to buy a tmeoh. Shings it ought to buy at home. For example, it is estimated that North Carolina W'ears hosiery that costs six million dollars a year, and of this amount buys only $500,000 worth made in North Carolina. The silk stockings crazze is largely re sponsible for this. No wonder hos iery mills here are not as pros perous as they would be if home —Eat Pearce’s New Central Cafe IS READY FOR BUSINESS Fair visitors and others visiting Smith field will find our place an ideal one to get food of the better kind. ^ - r Special Dinner Every Day / Chicken Dinner Served Sundays -- Pete Leventis & Frank Schachner Victory Theatre Under New Management g'mr Only Clean Pictures Shown Show Nightly and Saturday Matinee Evening Performance 7 and !) — Matinee 3 P.
