Wouldn't you like to go to a wedding
sometime when all the dress suits had
lost the salvaging scent of moth balls
and the elbow length kid gloves the
symbolic SAVIOR of the garage?
Shoes at $50 a pair should promote
the hopes Of all the old maids into
joining the barefoot dancing fad.
We refuse to divulge the identity of
the Mexico girl, who, when she heard
a friend speak Of the "peace map of
Europe" said: 81 just love jig-saw
puzzles, don't you?"
When you say a woman is a born
manager it is not necessarily a re-
Election on her husband.
Think less about the outset and
more about the finish is a good warn
ing for girls contemplating marriage.
A good suit of clothes covers just as
much man on the merchants dummy,
sometimes, as it does on an animated
mate.
When asked why he didn't marry
again, a Mexico widower told us the
average ambition, according to his OBJ
servation, was usually satisfied with
one success. We consider this an
other argument ~favoring equal suf-
frage. Who ever heard of a hen
stopping her productive duties after
the first egg?

to her mother: 81 guess the rabbit

BEGIN SEAL KILLING THIS YEAR

SEATTLE, Jan. 11.-A few years
ago, when pelagic sealers fiourished
and seals were killed on the rookeries
it vas the favorite trick of milady to
develop a hollow cough which left her
better or worse half the alternative
of sending her to Florida for the
winter Or purchasing a sealskin coat.
Seals then became scare through
the unceasing demand, and the gov
eminent stepped in and halted the
killing
This brought relief to father and he,
since 1910, when the government
took over the herds, has been able to
lay up a little money for the coal
bill. Comes now H. ]. Christoffer,
assistant agent for the United States
Bureau of Fisheries, with the depres-
sing information that the seal herds
on the Pribiloff Islands, St. Paul
and st. George, have increased to
such an extent that the government
will start killing this year and put
the hides on the market. All this
means that history with reference to
the sealskin coat, is going to repeat
itself.
