TOTS DO
THEIR PART WELL

The rooms in the old training school
building. used temporarily by the Pill
grim Congregational church. were
crowded to the limit Sunday morning
by the audience which gathered there
to listen to the Christmas program,
rendered under the auspices Of the
Sunday school.
Music was all of the best, Miss
Horners SOLO being the most prom
inent musical number. The chorus
singing by the school was enlivened by
a skillful accompaniment on the vio-
lin in the hands of Mr.. Shafer.
The little people did their part in a
most commendable manner. The
humorous recitation by ADELAIDE Baker
and the pathetic story told b Julia
Reeves could not have been excelled in
their time. The choir singing was also
excellent Altogether the program was
a complete success from beginning to
end. and made delightful opening for
the holiday season.

WHAT SPORTY OLD BOYS TELL THE
STEN0CRAPHER AND MANICURE GIRL

When a man has reached the
high tide of 40 does he defy the
ebb and make one more frenzied
struggle for the pleasurable follies
of fast fading youth?
Is there-well-er- foolish age
between 40 and so, when he Is
more than willing to separate HIM
self from his accumulated dollars,
If by that separation he can ar
range an hours light chat, a tete-a-
tete dinner or a visit to the theater
with some ccmpanionable woman ?
Incidents of the public stenog-
rapher's offices and of those cozy
little hooks where manicuring is
done seem to point that way.
They're always SO lonely and al
ways bachelors" said a pretty
young woman stenographer in one
busy Spokane Office today. "They
drift in about dinner time and
usually proceed in this way while
I write their letters:

tomorrow. Long time till tomor-
row. Say, let's go and have nice
little dinner and then we'll see any
show you like. What. you don't
know but I'm married? Sure I'm
not. And how would you like
your brother to be floating around

know my wife? Oh, well, then If
you know her, of course it's all
