A blush is something that was.
The blush is rapidly becoming e4-
tinct. Poets say Violets are the only
things that blush, but if women's
fashions keep up like the last two
years, the violets will all be sitting in
the first row with us.
If the bathing suits, back-to-natuTe
dances and all the other blush hard
eners of 1916 were going on ten
years ago, everybody would be go
ing around with faces like October
tomatoes.
Artificial bushes can be obtained
for women at drugstores and for
men at the 18th hole.
If bushes were still popular, my,
wouldn't fight and wrestling promot-
ers be rights?
The only persons ever known not
to blush are theatrical and movie
press agents.

SWEET TOOTH DISCOVERED
PsstoffIee Department Employees
Lay In Candy Supply.

There II an unsuspected sweet
tooth" among the employees OF the
Postoffice Department.
This fact was brought to light
when a local candy Arm offered the
postal employees special rate on
candy. provided that 500 pounds were
purchased. There was considerable
skepticism among the workers about
obtaining the entire amount, but when
the list went around every man
aligned IL. Some signed IL twice.
To date-the list has been open
three dayE-more than one ton ~
candy has been paid for. II the pres.
snt demand continues, the Arm that
contracted will either go out OF busi.
ness or do considerable charging.
Some OF the men are evidently lay
Ing In a winters supply. The largest
single order yet placed was for
twenty pounds, Whether IL II the
idea OF getting something for nothing
or tho love OF sweets, the sale OF
candy to the postal employees Is going
merrily on.
