Bowman, clerk in the direc tory division, is the bridal specialist. He is only one of those in the divis ion who specialize in delivering mis directed and insufficiently addressed mail. Keeping up with Cupid saves Bow m-n a lot of time when the wedding gifts start coming in. ..i-n a tveuuing announcement appears in the papers, friends out of town start sending present.” Bow man said. “They may address the items to the bride, the bridegroom, or either of the parents. Uusually, though, it is the bride. She is likely to be a young girl who has never been listed in the city directory, and besides, she generally moves imme diately after the wedding, and in such exciting times, forgets to leave her forwarding address. "Some of the present are quite expensive and, of course, they are more highly appreciated if they ar rive on time. So I keep an eye on the society section of the papers and make a separate list of the brides and their parents’ addresses. This saves a great deal of time day or two later'when parcels begin to come in addressed to Mrs. June Bride, Atlan ta, Ga.” 1 i Laughing Around the World With IRVIN S. COBB Catching Step with Prevalent Patriotism By IRVIN S. COBB TN ALL the years that I knew “Germany” Schaefer I don’t recall ever having heard his first name. It may have been Hermann. I know the1 initial was “H”. Schaefer, who died quite some years ago, was one of the most picturesque individuals in Big League basebalL After his legs had lost their youthful gimp he was a coach and fun-maker foi the Washington team, and in this capacity shared national popularity with his associate comedian, Nick Altrock. It will be recalled about the time we became active participants on the side of the Allies in the Great War, that individuals and articles bearing names suggestive of Teutonic origin lost popularity. On the restaurant menus German fried potatoes blossomed out as "Liberty potatoes” and sour kraut became "Liberty cabbage.” Schaefer saw the handwriting on the wall. Shortly thereafter, his friends over the country received by mal. neatly printed cards reading as follows: "Mr. H. Schaefer, Baseballer, desires to announce that in future he will be known as ‘liberty Schaefer1.” (Arnicas Ksb VhetaiM. IsO. w. E.
