"A couple Of million dollars. Of

Mildred gave a little gasp and it

"Oh, what a joke on Dad" she

~ ONT misjudge the man who
marries for money; no one else
on earth works quite so hard
for what he gets!
The modern straight and narrow
figure clad in the modern thin and
fluffy waist, is not doing much to
boom the old-fashioned strait and
narrow path.
Holidays are greatly overestimated,
Think Of all the energy it takes to
get back into harness again!
MY CREEO-By CELIA THAXTER
For darkness passes-storms shall not
abide,
A little patience and the fog is past
After the sorrow Of the ebbing tide
The singing floods return in JOY at
last.
The night is long and pain weighs
heavily.
But God win hold his world above
despair;
Look to the east, where up the lurid
sky
The morning climbs! The day shall
yet be fair

laugh. 1T looks mote like a lazy

There were two lounges in the

a miniature grand piano.
