And so she went a-bar-

To buy of Master Cupid.
Good youth, 1 hear you've men for sale
I've plenty shining gold.
So give me youth and beauty too"
Snapped Cupid: They're all sold!"
Then to the neXt-door lass he said:
Pray, what have you to offer?'
She sighed: Good sir. I've naught to

No gold is in our Golfer,

But love? / cannot ask it."
Then Cupid forthwith gave to her
The best heart in his basket.

ENGLAND's REFERENDUM.

T HE Lords amended the budget by referring
4 it to the people. Their action is likened to
a servant asking his master for orders. What
they are, in effect, doing" says the Spectator, "is
TO touch their hats to their master with the very
proper question OF a servant in doubt. Are these
really your orders. sir? | would like to make
quite sure before | carry them out
The picture OF the hereditary peers touching
their hats to the people is interesting Everyone
knows that the Peers are Overwhelmingly oppos-
ed to the budget The simile has peculiar force
when it appears that the servant asks for orders
to save his job and for no other purpose. If the
Peers followed their convictions and rejected the
budget, they probably would pave the way for the
abolition of the House of Lords and the loss OF
their hereditary privileges. The referendum is
dictated by the primal motive of self-preserva-
ton.
The Commons denounced the action Of the
Lords as a breach of the British Constitution,
and a usurpation of the rights OF the Commons.
Framing money bills and fixing taxes have be-
longed exclusively to the commons for centuries.
This is admitted, but the Lords in their cam
paign declare that the land clauses and the IL
censing clauses OF the budget, with the new pur-
poses and modes of taxation are revolutionary
and menace the institutions of the country. When
a money bill has such extraordinary significance
the Lords claim the right of veto at least to the
extent Of referring it to the people. The issue is
fundamental and the election in the middle Of
next january will be an important event in Eng

XMAS SPIRIT in
CITY STREETS
Good Natured ThrOngS HuS-
tie Along in Shopping
District

The crisp air set ones blood tingling
on Saturday and shoppers, who were
out in force. declared it an ideal day
for the occupation of purchasing gifts.
1t was a merry throng. however,
which jostled and pushed and squeezed.
but no one complained, for the real
Christmas spirit was in the air. It
was the last Saturday before the great
feast. and those who had to make
purchases were out in force. It was
late at night when the lights in front
Of the stores were extinguished.
Young folk were much in evidence.
and it was no uncommon sight to see a
young couple standing before windows
cycling the displays. The girl would
point to her escort the beauty Of this
and that gem, while he was mentally
calculating how he would make his
salary stand security for presents.
Children were also numerous in the
afternoon and evening and alert for "a
sight of Sanata Claus, surrounded by
his precious toys One little girl in
snug red hood remarked that Santa
must have been twins, for, said she,
on two street corners had she been
greeted by the jolly white-bearded man
from the polar regions
As the day was a holiday from
school, children took the opportunity
, of visiting the shopping district and
their efforts were rewarded. for the
merchants have a tempting display
, this year.
Managers of the stores say shoppers
! this year have been comparatively con-
siderate and have done their buying
/ early, but as usual, they say that some
will leave the heavy buying until the
last moment. They have requested their
! patrons 10 buy early and not defer
buying until Friday.

NOT DRINKING so

NEW YORK, Dec. 20-The annual
beer bulletin just issued by the United
States Brewers Association indicates
that there has been a tendency
throughout the country to dispense

earlier this year than last. There
has been a falling off of Ala per cent.
in the amount Of beer drank in all the
states, leaving a total Of only $685. ,4s7
barrels produced. only in six States
has there been an increase in barrel
totals. but Hawaii seems to be taking
kindly to civilizations. with an increase
Of 1876 barrels. making her total for
1919, 14.01S barrels. New York retains
her -eminence with 12,572.o4e bar

MILFoRD DANCE I'M PERIL.

w L regret to read in the Milford Chronicle
w jeremiad when all should be happy and
with Christmas cheer. The Chronicle has sus-
picions that the young men Of Milford have be-
come victims of the hook worm or some other
germ of laziness 1t fears that there will be no
Christmas dance in Milford this year. In tones
of despair the Chronicle asks Is there not one
young man with sufficient energy TO arrange
for the annual Christmas dance in Milford?
1t is the duty OF the young men, says the
Chronicle to arrange for the dance and the old
or people are prepared to contribute to the eN-
pense of the affair The dance will not perish f
Colonel Townsend can prevent. Although his
waltzing days are over, the editor comes gallant
ly to the front and pledges five dollar contribu-
ton, in fact, he pledges twenty similar subscrp-
tions from the "old boys of the town. If the
young men will not arrange the dance the Chron-
ice advises the young women to do so and the
old folks will help them.
From a social point of view this is a severe
arraignment of the young men of Milford. Col
onc Townsend should court-martial them If they
do not respond to his strong appeal, put them
in the guard house. What is the matter with the
young men Of Milford? Have they all joined
the Bible class, or are they spending their time
in speak-easics?

HIREl TIREl FIRE!
By 1wN A. NYE.

Rev. George Houghton, ain eastern
sociologist. says:
American men and women to-day
hire their wives and husbands as they
hire their carriages and horses.
Therefore" he says, when they
are not suited they proceed to hire diff
ferent ones" 1t is very simple. The
motto Of the modern lassie is:
Hire. Tire. Fire,
The lassies first hire their mates. ac
cording to Mr. Houghton. and when
they tire Of them they "hre" them.
1t all depends.
In certain circles Of American life
the statement may be true. Ia those
circles an heiress is often put on the
auction block and sold TO the highest
bidder. Some are bartered outright
for foreign title.
There being no ethics in such bill
Of sale. the buyer should be privileged
to sell his property again when be
tires Of it. There is no moral obliga-
ton in the transfer.
But
If this sociologist pretends to say
that outside small set in high life
and a set in low life these things are
so he does not know what he is talk
ing about.
Millions OF happy homes disprove it.
The fact OF the matter is this: A di.
Vorce is news" The fact that tens
Of thousands are living happily togeth-
er is not news
We read of the divorces. We do not
read of the contented homes.
Marriage IN America is held as a
sacred obligation. Millions regard II
as holy sacrament. The home is the
place of mutual sacrifice and affection
That is the rule. The hire-tire-hre
sort are the exceptions.
There is too much Of this talk about
the failure Of marriage. 1t is untrue
TO begin with. II creates a false i'm
preston and misleads many people.

Give scant attention to those pcssi
mists who are forever decrying mod

You don't catch me on the hook OF

They do not know. They have mo-
seen. They know only a few isolate'
cases. They have not seen the rea
thing. And they are probably or the
sort whom no one would want TO catcl
on the hook OF matr,mony.
Americans do not hire their wives

When they turn their attention to good

one criticism, and that II the secret ses-
