There is an old and true saying to the
effect that n little boys first pair OF
trousers always fit if the pockets are
deep enough. That this and similar tru-
isms do not exaggera.e the degree Of
love entertained by youth for its first
wee trouserlets was we'll evidenced by
the remark of Franklinville youngster
who had recently attained to the digni.

them to o large circle Of envyinR ac-
quaintances and friends he returned to
his fond mamma with the question,
"Say, ma. do angels wear 'em?" He
was gently assured that tradition and
