Choosing a Bride

The man who goes to choose a
bride should cautious be, and
falcon-eyed, or he will harvest
woes; it is a most important
chore-more so than going to the
store to buy a suit of clothes. If
you have dreams Of pleasant
nights around the fire, and home
delights, sidestep the giddy maid
whose thoughts are all of hats
and gowns, and other female
hand-me-downs. of show and
dress parade. And always shun
the festive skirt who'll never miss
a chance to flirt with men, at any
cost; she may seem sweet and
charming now, but, as your own
and only frau, she's sure to be u
frost. And when you see a
woman near, who bankers for a
high career, and combs her hair
back straight, who says she's
welded to her art, whose brow is
high, whose tongue is tart-oh,
Clarence, pull your freight! Sc
lect damsel safe and sane, who
has no folly in her brain, who
wants to build home; if you
can win that sort of bride, peace
shall with you and yours abide,
and crown your old bald dome.

WAR EMBARRAssEs SCHOOLS.
Large Amount of Material Is Bought
From Abroad. ;.

Because large amount of the ma
terial used by the public schools Of the
District is imported from abroad.
Washington's school system is to be
somewhat embarrassed on account Of
the war. 1t is believed. however, the
inconvenience will not be serious. and
that many of the necessities may be
duplicated in this country.
Brushes, paints. test tubes. glassware.
chemicals and countless other things
which could either be obtained more
cheaply abroad or were Of better quail
ity, have been bought Of foreign firms
in the past. In some instances the
articles desired have not been obtain
able in America. For the most part.
however, it is believed little difficulty
will be encountered in getting substi-
tutes
only recently the school officials con-
tracted to buy 585 dozen pairs of
scissors from a German firm. where the
best values. 1t was believed, could be
obtained. The shipment of the scissors
could not be made on account of the
war, of course, and now the schools
will have to use an American-made
article.
