St. Tammany farmer., 1908-02-22

Twelve months later, when Miss
Betty, in her place of honor as the sis.
ter of the prospective bridegroom, was
putting the finishing touches to the
bridal toilette, the blushing girl took
occasion to whisper under cover of a
warm caress:
THAT I'm so happy today is all due
to you, for it was Jacks devotion to
you that first opened my eyes to his
real character. and made me honor
and respect as well as love him."
St. Tammany farmer., 1908-02-22

world But come, it's time to dress
for the prom, and you must be sure
to wear those lovely roses that young
Goldbug sent you. 1t won't do any
harm to flatter him little-you know
that his sister Maud is engaged to
that young Englishman that we met
in Washington last winter, who stands
a good chance of inheriting a title
some day"
They walked away, and a flush OF
wounded pride and self-respect burn
ed hotly upon Miss Amelia's withered
cheek, while her gentler sister whis-
pered pityingly:
Poor child! What a pity that she
couldn't have been bottle baby"
Wait a bit, and we'll see what
metal she's made of, returned Miss
Amelia with shrewd smile brighten
ing her plain face. Boys pretty friend
has a will of her own, or I'm very
much mistaken, and If she likes him,
not ali the Goldbugs or old-fashioned
sisters under the sun will make her
turn cold shoulder to him."
And that evening at the Prom. .
Miss Betty placidly. returned her sis
ter's triumphant smile as she noted
that the belle of the occasion wore,
not the grand Goldbug roses upon her
bosom but bunch of fresh, sweet
violets, the mates Of which adorned
her partners buttonhole.
Boys favorite fiowert' whispered
Miss Amelia, and the two beamed be
nignly upon the handsome pair, whose
enjoyment not all the mothers frowns
or young Goldbug's sulky face seemed
to have the power to dampen.

Decided Improvement Is noted In most

In many cnses accompanied by requests
for Immediate or very early delivery,
Evidences OF increased confidence are
numerous and prices are firmly held where
concessions havo been offered recently
without attracting buyers. Many mills
have resumed after months Of idleness
sufficient orders having accumulated TO
assure an active capacity during the re-

oelier that contracts VIII be placed freely

Recent concessions in the packer hide
