wALLFLowERs TAKE NOTICE

"The modern mar Is not strong for early marriage" says a com mentator in the December issue of the Woman's Home Companion. "He knows that it means sentence to hard labor for him, because he knows what it costs to keep the modern family.

We have our play day with the jolly, lively girl, because she is mighty good company fer the time being. She is not an xious to marry and settle down any more than the man is."
