Discuss High Cost of Living

About $50 attended the masquerade
social given by the Junior class of the

walked through tin cans sand sticks of
wood and up the other stairs, where
they were relieved of their eye ban
dages and allowed to purchase tickets
for the rest of the entertainment.

Best Of all possible candies for the
children Of the house are those you
make at home. Instead of giving them
the pennies they ask for to buy all
sorts of sweets whose ingredients no
one vouches for, take a little time
yourself. For the price of a little sugar
and few other ingredients you always
have on hand in the larder you can as
sist them in making candies that will
harm them only when they partake to
excess.
Homemade candies cannot help but
be pure. And there is fun for all in
making them, more fun in eating them
when YOU have had hand in the
making.
