The women Of the First Universalist
Church had an experience meeting
night before last and each woman who
had earned a dollar during the summer
for the Ladies' Circle told how she had
got the money. The tales were told in
rhymes. A profane young man who
was present said that the half had
never yet been told" and that if the
truth were known many dollars had
been laid hold of in quite another way
than that told by the rhymers Now,
I would suggest the following" said
he, "as the true source of most of those
dollars

An old lady of my acquaintance, who
would have beautiful white hair if
she'd let it stay its natural color, has
followed for years the practice of dye
ing it with tea. Since this operation
is confined to her front hair alone,
while the rest is left white, the result
has rather an odd, effect To my great
amusement this lady's little grand
daughter after looking quizzicalIy at
her for some time one day, finally
marched boldly up to her and asked,
Grandma, what makes your bangs all
scorchy eolor?"

Neglect in changing the subject di-
rectly when new topic is introduced
is responsible for many amusing sto-
ries, not the least comical of which is
the following:
A young man whom 1 know had
spent his vacation last year in a small
sea-coast town where he had derived
most of his pleasure from the use of
an old boat which a retired sea-captain
had rented to him for the season.
The boat was pretty well out of re-
pair, and after the young man went
home the captain hauled it up on the
shore, thinking that its days of use
fulness We're about over. There it lay
mer came again it was half covered in
the sand.
With arrival of the first warm wea-
Their had come letter from the young
man asking that he might again have
the use of the boat, and thereby hangs
the tale.
1t seems >that in the late spring the
old captains wife had died and in the
confusion of attending to the funeral,
the captain had forgotten to reply to
the letter, which therefore was still I'M
answered when the young man arrived
To explain this negligence the old man
apologized thus, wal We see, long

The last two weeks at the worces-
ter Golf Club have been the most sue
cessful in its history, if real enjoy
ment of the ancient and royal game
is any criterion of success.
The weather, save for two days. has
been all that could be asked for 1t
has been not too cool to play in ones
shirtsleeves, yet, while not playing,
one could wear top coat without be-
ing uncomfortable
But it is the charms of the clubhouse
and Con Cronin's famous fires in the
open fireplace that complete the enjoy
ment of the season. While it grows
dusk the players gather around the
round table, and relate their adven-
lures on the links, while the fire
crackles and blaZe5 up, casting weird
shadows on the walls. Con regales his
audiences with stories of the time
when he was winning championships
in the Emerald Isle, and tries to make
out that he was never afraid of being
beaten in his last match with Tabb.
incidentally Con says he will never
touch a stick after this year. Nobody
believes that, however. Playing golf
is easier than lots of other kinds of
work
The clubhouse is voted big success
all around, and numberless changes
are proposed to better things next
year. Let us hope they will be car
ried out.
