LOCUST GROVE

One of the most pleasant events of
the season occurred last Saturday eve
ming, Feb. 10th, when about forty
friends, chiefly members of the Have
ood-Time-Society," met at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Puterbaugh, on
the Highlands. The first part of the
evening was spent in card playing and
social talks, the latter in dancing. An
elegant supper was served at midnight,
which everyone seemed to enjoy. One
of the chief features was the prize
waltz. 1t was rather puzzling work for
the judges to decide, but it was finally
unanimously decided in favor of Mrs.
A. Luth and Joe Dague. A beautiful
prize was presented to each amid the
congratulations and cheers of the crowd.
This was followed by the song enter
tainment, after which the crowd de-
parted, each declaring they had had a
most enjoyable evening and were look
ing forward with pleasure to the time
when they might again enjoy the hospi-
tally Of their host and hostess.
The next meeting of the "Have-a-
Good-Time-Society" will be Feb. oath,
at the A. Luth home. Cards and a
program, to which all are supposed to
contribute, are to be the chief features
of the evening.

soon recover.

IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
Explanation of the Difference Be-
tween Domestic Standards Now
Those OF Long Ago.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there is an interesting presentation of
the difference that exists between the
domestic standard of young married
women of today and those of the past
generation. How did the women of
the middle class of a generation or
two ago manage when they could not
keep help? Following is the answer
quoted from a Companion editorial:
They lived according to their
means; they did not set up impossible
standards, and they knew much less
about the science of bringing up chill
dren. They had no special style to
keep up; gave the children a weekly
bath; kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals in
courses, but put all the food on the
table at once; confined their social
affairs to evening calls and parties,
and church suppers, at which they
wore the same black silk dress for at
least two seasons; in short, every
woman did only what she could, and
her friends made it easier for her by
doing likewise"

why He couIdn,t sit Down

Harry, aged six, is an orphan; but
an indulgent grandmother and kind
maiden aunt have taken care of him.
The first pair of knickerbockers were
secured recently, and it was a proud
moment for the boy when his aunt
put them on him on Sunday morning
and he was permitted to go to church
with his. grandmother Naturally
maiden aunts know very little about
the arrangement of knickerbockers,
and there was suspicious fullness in
front and an equally mystifying tight
ness in the back to be observed. as
the little chap rrudged happily along.
In church Harry sat down, but did
not appear comfortable and stood up.
Harry, sit down. whispered his
grandmother. He obediently climbed
back on the seat, but soon slipped on
again. Harry, you must sit down.
Grandma, can't. My pants is chok-
ing me-" She looked more closely
than her dim sight had before permit
ted, and discovered the new little
knickerbockers were on hind side be.

mainder of the service.

was addressing meeting of his fell
low-citizens. 1t was a labor meeting.

Casey, that you are the great body
polite in this city. You are the roots
and trunks of our great municipal
tree, while we who represent you in
Office are merely the branches on that

Walking for Nerves.

The nerves suffer from want of pure
oxygen. They run like network all
through the skin and when they are
overweight the skin is apt to be dry
and colorless. Walking is an excellent
tonic for the nerves. 1t gives them
strength to control themselves.
If one has means or leisure, there
are plenty of other more enjoyable ex-
ercises. But few forms are so bene-
ficial as the regular daily iaunt of four
or five miles for obtaining a good COM
plexion.
