pie can be over-pleasant as we'll as over
bearing. but the former is infinitely pre-
ferable. Habit has something 10 do with
a mans behavior, although disposition
is the strongest element-certainly
when men have contracted habits OF
pride and insolence that are almost brut-
al. Money enters into the life of some
men and makes them naughty and over
bearing, who, lacking it, would have
been kind and ~considerate. Jesus in
Weighed most strongly against pride and
haughtiness, and said the publican was
justified rather than the proud Pharisee,
for all the lengthy prayers Of the latter.
In view Of the shortness Of life and its
many unavoidable cares and troubles,
we think it is a wise thing to cultivate
a pleasant name toward all. "Oh, why
should the spirit Of mortal be proud?'
must be an inscrutable puzzle from any
true and just point Of view. Pride 60
eth before destruction, and a naughty
spirit before a fall" is as true today as
in the long ago when it was written.
Pope calls pride The never-failing vice
OF FOOLS" and wisely, too. There is in
pride and hauteur a disennobling OF men
beyond computation. If pride is moi
vice, ii can lay little pride to virtue.
Why, then, be proud and naughty? Rich
or poor, high or low. should sun its mar
rowing spirit. and learn to practice q
pleasant manner, a courteous spiri. OF
kindness toward all whom We may NEE,
in this transitory world.
Foamy chocolate. Measure a quart o.
milk, reserving enough to wet 20 a

it comes to a boil stir in the corn starch,
wet with the cold milk; scrape three
tablespoonfuls of chocolate, melt it; add
two tablespoons OF hot water and three

All entertainments and everything Of a
social nature were omitted or postponed
during the past week on account of the
storm, so that everyone had to take a
rest whether the, wanted to or not.
1t was vacation week and the students
and pupils had planned many little gath
erings and surprises and on Monday
prospects were bright for a happy and
joyous week, but the best laid plans OF
mice and men gang aft agley" and be-
fore shutdown that unreliable Wyoming
spring weather presented itself and said
you may stay indoors now and I'll have
my good times outside" and all obeyed.
One Of the most delightful social func-
lions OF last week was the luncheon CIV

chatty group surrounding the hospitable

The Handkerchief club, which was 10

A dozen ladies' ventured out on the
street Thursday and made their way to
the home of Mrs. Fred George, where the
regular Lenten tea was held, and hav,
ing once found themselves amid such
CHEEKY environments, guests were in no
haste to leave. Dainty work and light
refreshments added 10 the pleasure of
the afternoon.
Miss Cora Gray is having remarkable
success with her Saturday afternoon
dancing class and the little ones show
u decided improvement. Children should
be encouraged to learn to dance as noth>
ing gives such grace and ease when in
society al this accomplishment. AS a
social amusement and a healthful exer-
else, dancing has much to recommend
It: the chief drawbacks are, however,
the ill-ventilated and over-heated rooms
in which it is generally performed.
1t would lake than banks of
snow to keep indoors a crowd OF healthy,
fun-loving boys and girls and those who
received invitations last week to Miss
Donna Rena STRIKERS home for Thurs
day responded in person and no happier
young folks we're ever found. Gamea
and stories made the hours pass all toe
quickly and it was past midnight before
goodnight was said. Those present vert
