If anybody ever tells yol that the
editor of the Melrose Beacon isn't
horrid, you just remember that he
wrote this for his paper: lone of
the speakers at a milliner's conven-
tion told the girls to become beautiful
by thinking they were beautiful. We
have known girls to try that without
being able to convince the neighbors.

 tective. Roger O'Mara. She declared that the matter was very urgent and
 the warden consented. Both men re-

 of tears on he~ face and she Seemed
 agitated. She did not speak to Mrs.
