Miss Henderson said it looked as If
Miss Plant was fond of housework and
domestic untensils always please a
girl who is inclined that way.
A hand glass was presented Sophie
Brisk with the following verse:
II do not like to see a face so fair
Wasting it's sweetness on the desert air.
And if at any time you have a minute
You can improve it by just looking in 1t
lection
You'n doubtless see it in your own re-
fiection.'
In giving a basket to Louise Nelson
Miss Henderson said that the gift

bright red wig with these words: Il
know YOU are fond of the new style
OF doing the hair and with this aid
you may be able to cover your turban

China. This shade may be a trif1e
light but it is not uncommon to see
three distinct colors on one head
A rolling pin was given Alice Clark
as a necessary part of married happl-
ness. 1t is awkward to lift chair and
dangerous to throw a lamp but effective
work can always be done with a roll

of weather ,
There's no more lazy times. we mus

The Gardeners keep MS busy with speed
that makes US dizzy.
No matter. Rah, Rah, Rah we've wor
the cup.
Gladys Potter was given pair OF
dancing shoes with the wish that they
might be useful as we'll as ornamental
To Ernest Moore: For your gift
had several things in view. L wished
to help you along. A hatpin was first
considered but while that would give
rapidity at fest it's effect would pass
off. This table sauce is warranted tc
be satisfactory. No, matter what the
goal is, a mark. an object, or people
YOU have only to take this bottle and
ketchup,"
Dick Eldridge was given paint
brush with the words: There are
sometimes OTHER things than the sins
of the fathers that are visited on the
