@Smart Set Must Be Right

When the case OF Miss Della Smith
was called in police court this morn
ing, her attorney pleaded that his
client was suffering from a badly
sprained ankle. The case was con-
tinued. Miss Smith. who is a smart
set leader, interfered when her escort
and another man engaged in a fight
outside a cabaret last night and
kicked the would-be intruder on the
chin, although he was standing at mis-
full height at the time. This effort
caused her TO lose her slipper and
sprain her charlottesville (Ky) Ex-

 Regarding the Persian language. we all have a few words from that source in our vocabularies, although we may not be aware of our indebtedness. There are about dozen words in the English dictionary which trace to Per sia.. tbe most common being perhaps orange" although this was thought by some to be derived from the Latin 'aurum" (gold). Sash" meaning q ribbon or band the sash" of win dow is the Latin "capsa"), shawl and "taffeta" are other Persian words which have become thoroughly ac- climatized, as have "chess, caravan "lilac," ''dervish" and "lac," while 'emerald' and indigo" ''azure."

Sympathy With Nature.

Iris an evidence of how directly we are related to nature that we more or less sympathize with the weather and take on the color of the day. Goethe said he worked easiest on a high ba rometer. One is like a chimney that draws well some days and won't draw at all on others. and the secret is mainly in the condition of the atmos phere. Anything positive and decided with the weather is good omen. : pouring rain may be more auspicioi.' than a sleeping sunshine.

He did it all and infinitely more.
He became as good a friend,
as good master, and as good man
as the good old city knew, or any 9TH
er good old city, town, or borough, in
the good old world Some people
laughed to see the alteration in him,
but he let them laugh, and little heed
ed them; for he was wise enough to
know that nothing ever happened on
this globe, for good. at which some
people did not have their fill of laugh
ter in the outset; and knowing that
such as these would be blind anyway,
he thought 1t quite as well that they
should wrinkle up their eyes in grins,
as have the malady in less attractive
forms. His own heart laughed; and
that was quite enough for him. .
And 1t was always said Of him that he
knew how to keep Christmas well. II
any man alive possessed that knowl-
edge.
May that be truly said OF US. and all
of us! And so, as Tiny Tim observed,
God bless US every one!
