Last year I gave up smoking, Threw my pipes away, And I received to pun no more On corncob. briar or clay. I vowed to break the habit, Put nicotine to rout; And did I? Well, this minute My good cigar is out. Last year. I well remember, vowed that as I went I'd pay for every footstep And would not owe cent. would not wear garment For which I could not pay. What's that? A bill against me? Please come some other day.

the divided cost of tho essential oil They were delighted at the prospect of delight fully perfumed water for their dressing table and baths at a comparatively small cost, so the original perfume was pur- chased.
 Enough money was expended to secure an excellent quality of essential oil, and to it was added deodorized alcohol to make it of the desired heaviness. The oil was acrid in it's raw state, but the druggist explained this was only because of it's strength. which proved to be cor rect, for when the alcohol was added il became deliciously fragrant and delicate.

A girl well known for her daintiness conceived the idea of eompounding her own perfume at home, and now several of her friends are thanking her for the suggestion.
 Of course this girl knew that the basis of all perfume Is essential oil, that is, the original perfume from which all odors are made. From an importing chemist she found that the price of half dram of this oil was quite beyond her pocket book, and would make enough scent to last one person an entire lifetime. Not at all daunted in her determination to .osaise sn aefpeable perfume. she invited several friends to share her ideas, plus

Peggy has always cherished a secret sympathy, she says, for that much am athematized individual who, when asked for bread, handed out stone.
 Peggy argues from the premise that the aforesaid person had an inclination to hand out Cream Puff, or Chocolate Eclair, or some other form of Glorified Pastry, feeling naturally that the plain 'maldngs" of toast weren't good enough for the hungry one and that the effort to do so much more than was asked, turned out 10 be just plain old stone
 All of which Is apropos Of Peggy's ideas about people not doing what they intend to do, and doing what they never intend- cd to do, but then if we all did the things we started out to do-well many stories would have other endings.
 As it~is-
 For instance" Peggy said the other day, q went in a great hurry to one or the big department stores to get Gar bage Can. We needed a Garbage Can in our small menange and l was delegated to purchase the despised but useful alley ornament" and instead of getting 1t, l went home with a Canary Bird. Now, lie Who is my witness, that l never in my fondest dreams ever expected to own a Canary Bird, nor can understand the mental processes that obliterated clean from my memory, the imminent and inn mediate need of our family for a Garbage Can, but the cold facts were there, star ing me in the face. The worst of th' matter is. that the darned little old Ca nary Bird only lived 24 hours. He pinec and wiIted and finally died inf the sun shine and fresh air, when there he was trilling away like Tetrazzini in dark corner of shop, where the air was thick enough to cut with an axe.'
 "A person who can't be trusted to pur- chase a Garbage pail" I suggested. "is the last one to send forth to a January White Sale" I suggested, at the first op- portunity.
 "A January White Sale sounds exactly like a Yacht Race to me-" said Peggy who is silly to a degree. Reminds me of Sir Thomas Lipton, or some other Ia nous Yachtsman."
 l said nothing.
 January White Sales" Peggy mu.' tered. as we stood on the corner in the rain. waiting for car. "A white winged sailor hat suggests itself to me, instead of-er-er what is 1t we are gong tt buy?'
 The memorandum witing in my glove showed nicely tabulated list of Sheets Pillow Cases, Towels, Tablecloths and Napkins" Besides there were hiero- glyphics suggesting remnants of Swiss Flouncings and three yards Of "all over embroidery. with pink figure, if possible very faint"
 That's for a petticoat flounce," Peg gy said as we looked over our mutua list. I'm going to wear 1t underneath summer frock."
 "What was that you wrote on the Matinee programme the other day?' asked as we drew near the big shop te which the alluring Advertisements en- ticed us, with a January White Sale"- promise. Was it counterpanes? You art always hearing in July and August about somebody who is a good housekeeper buy ing their counterpanes at January White saies-because they are so cIfEAPi'

Connie has q warm spot in his heart
for the fork-handers. In the list of
young men who hurl from the off side
and who will hike to San Antonio
there will be six of the southpaws in
the pitching corps.
The dean of the bunch will be Ed

Krause, Dave Danforth, Clarence
Dixon Russell, young Mr.. Bonner and
Roger Salmon. These six will fight it
out among themselves for the places,
three OF which will probably be al
lotted to the youngsters. Plank, of
course, is a fixture. So is Dandy Dave.
The other place rests between the
euartette remaining. and it will be a
merry battle to see who will stick up
there.
This Kid Salmon looks like a regu-
