new granddaughter who has not

daughter home. Mrs. Mcintosh was

dreadful weather and the prevalence
of measles in so many families.
Miss Blanche Barnes gave the
children of her grade original val
entines consisting of white tissue
holders of popped corn tied with red
ribbons on which was a tiny red
heart. Most of the children in her
room gave valentines to Miss Barnes
and they all love her and think she
is the best teacher in the world.
All the younger children had valen-
tine boxes in their rooms and
merry time was spent just after
school Wnen the dainty missiyes
were distributed among the pu-
pills.
One of the dear little boys in Ma
rietta who has a globe of gold fish
for pets has named them for the He
brew children who walked Jun
scathed through the fiery furnace:
''Shadrack, Meslach and Abedne-
go" He must have reasoned this
out by analogy from the fact that
the little fish remain constantly in
water and never drown. Which re-
minds us that some one infers peo-
pie grow old because they cease to
have enough water in their sys-
tems-they literally dry up. And
the discOverer Of this fact asks. as
clincher to his theory, did any
one ever hear Of a fish dying of old
age?
Mrs. Tom Read entertained her
AZ club on Wednesday using the
Valentine motif in decorations ana
refreshments in very lovely way.
The chicken salad was moulded in
hearts, the cranberry jelly was also
in hearts and hot rolls and coffee
were served with the delicious SALAD
course. The score cards were adorn-
ed with Cupids. Beside the club
Mrs. Read invited to fill places of
| absent members Mrs. S. H. Hall,
Mrs. George Sessions, Mrs. Tilden
Conner, Miss Exa Bennett and Miss
Lula McMichael.
Charles Dickens said: what
ever | have tried to do in life,
have tried with all my heart to do
well; whatever l have devoted my
self to, l have devoted myself to
completely; in great aims and III
small, l have always been thorough
! ly in earnest"
This reminds us that Dickens is
said to have been a space writer,
which accounts for his verbosity
very logically, but his style is at
tractiye to young people especially
who have life before them in which
to read. Happy are all those NOR
tails who find in books if not the
true EIysian fields" at least green
