ADVERTISING CURTAINS TO GO.

One theatre in Spokane has abol-

to affronted audiences, says the Spo-

kane who patronize the theaters
would be grateful If the unsightly
and inappropriate drops were taken
from all of the other amusement
places. Theatres are patronized pri-
marily for amusement, relaxation
and education, and the advertising
curtains are both unsightly and out

family sat together in the great kitchen
around the huge fireplace. All the
evening we told stories, ate doughnuts
drank cider, all the time pairing apples
and hanging the long festoons Of quar-.
tiers from the beams. But the dear
little motEer, she 1t was who told the

KILLED BY A BARE


photography plays a larger part IN
the universe of literature than is per-
,haps admitted. A child's artless at
tempts at spelling are refreshing and
enjoyable to the mature mind, jaded

variation from the accepted mode Is
refreshing. Bad spelling which is
studied and deliberate is, however, sell
dom amusing because 1t is SO obviously
the result Of IN effort; but such spell
