feel good. We are not like the dog in

clothes. We like TO see our friends dress
up and look as we'll as anybody else.

some, and sing the Bonnie -. Hail

Thank you, friend Gusts. In your
editorial voyage, may you never be-
come stranded, but keeping up bold
front, overcoming all obstacles. Hope
when you do get on your new suit, that
you will not be naughty and put on
airs, but wear your honors modestly-
for you know all human flesh, no mat
ter where it grows, is subject to irrita-
tion!
But friend Gusts. there is knack
in making Told clothes appear almost
as good as new. The Banner. when
forced TO use its old out-ft--or rather
every day suit--apreads it's folds to
the breeze as proudly as If snrobed in

Of renovating the old garb. Il will
