A Charming Event

The reception given by Miss Alice
Cannon to the Streabbog contest
class was extremely brilliant and ex-

decorated with choice flowers, and
the electric lights throwing a soft
glow from the triple chandelier gave
charm to the merry contestants.
Delicious cream was served by Miss

IN GIFTS A
GOOD WAY TO LOSE FRIENDS

Don't look a gift horse in the

nevertheless it is advice that few
take, and looking the gift horse in

Don't give horse Cor anything

much better advice.
To act short for effect of making
one think you are generous is the
most dangerous thing you can do. if
you want the good will of any one.
Some do this in good faith, not know

same.

thing shoddy.
Shoddy goods are oftener sent
through ignorance than otherwise.
Generally it is the ignorance or dis
honesty of the dealer. Your friend
may be better Judge of the article
than you, and if not the test of time
will tell them. You get the credit of
acting short in either case.
If you decide that you can't af-

above reasons you can avoid all
chance, whether buying for yourself
or a gift by going to Adams Jew

know to be what it is represented to
