One evening about $3.50, when the

knocks general principles. Probably it
was because that no man was ever

no woman was ever treated whittier than
he treated her. He had the knack of
bein' awful good and loving to her
without being foolish. Experience will
tell, and he'd experience heap OF the

Whenever 1 think of that couple,

do you think of Aleck? The scare we
threw him into that night-wound up his

girl. He never cheeped once after that,

Then the girl put her face in her

City Invites Residents and suburn=
antics to Share in the Blessings OF
the Finished Structure

Three hundred residents of Highland
Park and visitors attended the banquet
given last night in the new bank build
ing by the Highland Park Improve
ment association.
The classic structure built like the
new types of banks, specially decorated
and ablaze with lights, seemed dedl-
Gated to the spirit of progress judged
by the energy, hustle and civic pride
manifested by the Highland Parkites
present.
G. w. E. Griffith, J. W. Merrill, Mrs.
Osmond, Mrs. Hammack and others
spoke OH behalf of the clubs and other
interests represented. Their talks
dwelled on the growth of Southern Cal
ifornia and Los Angeles and partlc-
ularly of the gem of home spots, High
land Park.
Supper was served by the Ebell club
and the Child Study circle and the
viands were convincing evidence of the
expert housewifery of it's members.
