are stiney. But every woman likes to
feel that she is giving something OF her
own. something actually earned, not
merely distributing a part of the money
her husband gives her. That is the
! reason for church festivals and bazaars
And they're fun. too. They give Mrs
Adams a chance to see Mrs. Brown and
meet Mrs. Copp and observe what Mrs
| Dobbs and Mrs. Evans are wearing
They give Mrs French an opportunity
to talk over Mrs. Grants party with
| learn the recipe of Mrs. Ingle's famous
sponge cake. and Mrs. Jackson's raisin
pudding, and SO on through the whole
| alphabet and back
And what if the materials and the
gas and the cooking do cost as much as
the price the cake brings what differ
ence does that make? They are
charged in the regular grocery bill any
way and nobody feels the difference.

The girl you danced with last night
is wearing a white apron today and

Don't you dare to take luncheon at
the restaurant or the club today said
Mrs. Atlanta to her husband as he
kissed her good bye this morning.
Come to our bazaar at II o'clock and
bring two or three friends. Make

will serve as Christmas gifts few
weeks hence.
