lady we'll into the eighties, who has
h,en suffering for years with cancer
and whose death has for q decade
been regarded only as a matter OF
few months in the future. Lo and
behold, she has taken up the modern
dances and Is right now quite expert
IN them all! l was telling Of the re-
msrkable improvement in her condi-

fin Young man remarked that per-
hans she ought to invent a new step
which could most appropriately be
called the Radium Rip.
The phrase had a ring to 1t ana a

silken slip strip,
Hold tighter and dip to the RddiuTt

the front yard. I don't really blame
the cow. There has been SO much
doing in the way of parties in the
front of the house lately that you
couldn't expect a perfectly feminine
cow to stay in the back yard. The
curiosity as to what was going on
would be too much for any woman.
