the platter and he came to the table,

| A steak roast was given last night in
the country, but it was SO very small
that those who attended thought 1t
would not do for the paper. However
they say there was one big thing about
it and that was the steak. They were
big enough to mention in any society
column the way they sell these days.

Who says she is worse than all
dressed up with no place to- co., She
has just finished making new dress

MORE serious things in our town thar
that, just at present.
