VILLAGE GOSSIP

People who don't run newspapers
have little conception of the joys and
complexities that chase each other
each week in the assembling of so un-
pretentious a publication of the vii
lage weekly. There are things that
take place SO complacently and yet
unexpectedly that one is kept between
feeling of pleasant anticipation as
to how something is going to turn out
and a state of mind bordering on in
sanity when it does come out. These
reflections are based on the well in
tended mention last week of dainty
little baby up in Fort Lee, little Kath-
leen Moore, whose wondrous eyes and
perfect beauty had so appealed to the
editor, who had seen her for the first
time and thought she deserved a
place in the sun of the village gossip
column. The tribute to little Kathleen
got along very well until the close of
the compliment, where in saying,
"What joy baby is" the derned
printer mussed it up and said, what
a joy boy is" and Kathleen a girl
baby! Well, we swore all right; but,
then, Kathleen will be Joy to many
an admiring boy one o. these days.
And, Kathleen, here's our apologies
for this mixup, and that printer will
never do it again.

The wagon wrecked by the Public
Service trolley car several weeks ago
at Bluff road was still in the spot it
landed after the accident. Last week

in Palisade also looking after the
facts in the case. He said he thought
it would not go to court. The man
was not seriously hurt, it is now said.
But the wagon was.
Little Malta Ebell, who was so dam
gerOusly i'll several weeks ago, when
the influenza was so prevalent, and
who came near being victim to the
terrible disease, has fully recovered
from pneumonia and is able to be
about again. Malta has grown very
thin and emaciated, and her former
friends scarcely know her. She does
not go about great deal, but has been
on the sidewalk some on bright, warm
days.
Look out, all you boys with air RI
