Daughter - Yes, pa, there are two
young men who have asked me to mar

Father-And are both in way to

Daughter-I think so. Phil tells me
he has a tidy salary, and George says
he is receiving good wages.
Father-You choose George, and you

Poyydering the Hair.

In 1906 the mayor of Yarmouth,
England, issued the following procla-
nation: Owing to the present enor-
NOUS price of corn and the alarming
apprehension of a scarcity in that most
necessary article, many towns through
out the kingdom have set the laudable
example of leaving off for a time the
custom OF wearing powder in their
hair, by which means great quantity
of wheat must infallibly be saved to
the nation, and if the price be not re-
duced it may at least be prevented
from increasing. We, therefore, the
mayor, justices and principal inhab-
itants Of Great Yarmouth, do recon-
mend the example as worthy imitation,
and we fatter ourselves the military
will not hesitate to adopt it, being
fully convinced that appearances are
at all times to be sacrificed to the pub
lie veal. and that in doing this they
will really do good"

impressionable age who recently at
tended a child's party principally pe-
cause the child's inamorata was to oe
among the grown-ups present. AS tho
story goes the smitten ones took occa-
sion to slip off to quiet spot for a
little quiet conversation. There were
plenty of other adults to watch the In
fantile jewellers, and the desertion was
not noticed except by the niece of the
young lady who was abandoning duty
for pleasure. The tiny maiden saw
her aunt and her escort settling them
selves in coy corner, and reached it
at a critical moment, so critical, that
every one in the place was startled by
a piping voice, exclaiming:
kiss me, too, aunty!"
But aunty was equal to the occasion.
Before the knowing smiles had time to
vanish from the faces of those in the
secret she was heard replying, calmly,
but reproachfully:
Certainly will. But how careless
