Miss Lizzie Kistler ard her brother
James made a trip to West Penh on Sunday.
Miss Lizzie enjoyed her ride very much,
though she asserts that she does not care to
go out riding very often. We think that
perhaps she would fancy riding with some
one else.
Some Of the ladies growl because the
"Twinklings" were 81 long the past few
weeks. They can very easily get out of it
by not reading every item, but such one
would be one of thousand, for we do be-
liete that if one page of the ADVOCATE were
full of "Twinklings" they would read all
and still turn to the other page for more
Bears grow too, not when they have much
to eat but when they have nothing. We
have not heard of any one getting sore eyes
nor weary brain from reading them. We
whuld feel very sorry for any one so rash as
to allow himself to read every one ami sui
fer therefrom. The "Twinkiings" are only
fraction as long as some of the love stories
devoured by 81 many, and besides there is
no great danger of falling in love with the
hero Of the "Twinklings," while in nearly
all cases the reader falls in love with the
hero of the love story. KIT NORTH.
