Evening Chat
Parties and Parties.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

We're going to have a party for
fathers birthday tonight a little
friend announced to me the other dsy.
Her mother laughed. The party
consists chiefly of a birthday CAKE
she explained deprecatingly.
But it's a party just the same" in

it, Aunt Ruth?"
I'm sure it is if you feel that way
assented.
And later when 1 passed the house
and saw the light shining out of the
living room windows and the little
youngster in her besty gown with her
nose pressed against the window
watching for father, and two more
youngsters dancing excitedly about
behind her, 1 felt quite sure there was
going to be just the incest kind of
party, even if it's only material mani
festation was a birthday cake.
After ALL what's a party. but a fes-
tive state of mind?
You can't have a really successful
party without that, and you can have
a happy party with that and little else.
Once on a time there were two
young people who were marooned on

one.
Now these young people were socia-

town where they knew every one and

At first they tried to forget their
loneliness in work, but they soon found
that you can't work all the time and
work we'll.
Finally they had a bright idea and
this is what they did. Since there was
no one to invite them to a party they
decided to give a party themselves
every Saturday night (the time when
you've tried all the week to be gooi
and feel special need of payment in
the shape of some festivity).
Whom did they invite? The only
people they knew-themselves The

Then they both dressed up in their
very best, turned on all the lights IN
the house and dined in state After

or had an open fire and just talked.
A pitiful party you say?

But still he never had to read
All day about the foreign war.
Job had to fight his way through life,
His battle tales would fill Al book;
But still twas imitation strife
He never had to fire cook.
Jobs troubles sought him everywhere;
They came to him from near and far,
But still he had no need back there
To dodge the snorting motor car.

His lot was hard as any mans;
And yet he never went to jail
