Nn RlNCESS PEGGY is here!
Salute her, all We FrigidsW
cried the herald on the wall
OF the palace.
Hail, Princess Peggy! Hail,
Tanner of Giants" cried the crowd
of glistening creatures within the
gates, their tinkling voices sound
ing like the music of silver bells.
Hail, hail!' echoed the icy walls.
Peggy foated across the draw
bridge and through the gates. The
glistening creatures opened a path
and bowed low before her. Peggy,
looking at them closely. saw that
they were like icicles in tiny human
shapes. Some were as handsome
as Sprites, and some were as gro
tesque as COLLINS. All were nearly
transparent, but they caught the re-
fected hues of the clouds and
glowed with many coiors.
They made such a beautiful sight
that Peggy would have liked to
linger admiringly, but she felt> her
self borne on by gentle breeze into
a huge vaulted throne room where
sat in royal state Crystal, queen Of
the Shows.
Peggy gasped when she saw the
queen. Wondrous fair was the
ruler of the Shows, but it was the
fairness of the snow itself. Her
dainty form and features seemed
carved out of block of frozen
wilderness and she was as fragile as
statue of ice. l.
"Welcome to Cloudland, Princess
Peggy" tinkled Queen Crystal.
Where is your Giant-taming
charm" t1
But, haven't any Giant-taming
charm" answered Peggy, much TAX
en- aback at this abrupt question.
II said ! hadn't when / read your
message on the window pane"
"Oh-my, oh-me, oh-my," sadly
tinkled the Frigids who had crowd
ed into the throne room after Peggy.
tut. tut!" tinkled Queen Crystal
reprovingly at her subjects. "You
may be sure if Princess Peggy
hasn't a Giant-taming charm, it's
because she can handle the monsters
without it," She turned to Peggy
with bright smile. Come up,
my dear, and share my throne.
You'll need to rest a bit. You're
tacklinp a couple of terrors in
Blooey and Blizzy.' ;.
"Oh-me, oh-my, oh-me, oh-my,"
tinkled the Frigids mournfully,
sounding just like Japanese wind
bells. :.
who are Blooey and Blizzy"
asked Peggy, little nervous chills
beginning to run through her.
Peggy Crept out Of the ruins.
Crash! A great chandelier hang
ing from the ceiling fell to the floor,
smashing to smithereens. There
came a great roar from somewhere
below. Then the whole throne
room shivered and shook and rocked
like a ship in a storm sea. The walls
cracked and great chunks dripped
from the, vaulted roof. ...-
Peggy was hurled from the
throne, but as she was only a breath
of air. she did not hurt herself.
Queen Crystal went flying back
ward, and Peggy expected to see her
broken to bits. Fortunately, how
ever, she landed right on top of a

am 20. I love her very much, and
1 am sure that she loves me also.
Now, Miss Fairfax. please advise me
what to do, as she intends to 60
there again soon. p. D., JR.
I must remind you that being en-
gagged to a girl really doesn't give
you the right to control her. Why
is it that you don't feel that you can
trust her? Is she untrustworthy, or
are you a little jealous? Your love
for each other ought to imply conf
with her, with that in mind?

SOCIETY
Home and Friends and
Peaceful Pursuits Make
Very Merry Christmas

With peace hanging high on the
worlds Christmas tree, we will all
trim our own little individual fir
quite brightly. Many of our boys
will be in their home this Christ
mas and many of them with a gift
from Uncle Sam, just a piece of
paper-but, oh, it means so much!
Home and friends and the peaceful
pursuits once morei 1t is for these
returned victors that the girls will
dress their prettiest.
They tell us that the trench eye
hungers for chiffons and the SOL
dier will want Christmas just as it
was before war darkened the world.
We're singing a reformed version
of the old Christmas carol which
swings along like this, Then bring
your curls, We merry. merry girls.
The yule tog to its wearing"
Never were our shops so filled
with slustrous things and never was
there such zealousness.
The satin gown seems to hold full
sway. One particularly youthful
model combines two tones of ruby.
The apron front attached to the
shoulders, leaves the back perfectly
plain. The buttons are of the same
glowing shade of crystal and the
long tassel is made of narrow satin
ribbon in the lighter shade. A cap
of gray and ruby angora wool is
worn with this pretty frock. Black
satin is ever favorite! We see it
everywhere this year, in the tea
rooms and at the matinee. A gown
of such chicness we saw the other
day. Large buttons and double
band of angora around the skirt
gave it Partisan look. A cunning
vestee of white satin edged with a
tiny band of the angora and spark
ling beads of jet. The collar leans
bit toward the Medici frill wrich
is predicted a great vogue next
spring.
The evening gowns this Yuletide
are indeed creations. One glowed
like the heart of rose for its shade
was just the same as the blossoms
we find in Our garden on June
day. Twinkling crystals trimmed
the bodice and with an evening
wrap of the same rosy shade and
with its snug collar of gray fur the
costume seemed the very embodi-
ment of the Christmas season.

THRILLING WITH UNCLE SAM

The other day a policeman visited
the store of Christ Pete, a Bulgarian
grocer, at Denver to secure list OF
foodstuffs the man had on hand for
the federal food committee. Pete
handed the policeman an empty blank,
having made no attempt to fill it out
and said:
Il have no time for monkey husi-
ness. If President Wilson wants to
know what ! have in my stock. he will
have to come and look at it him
self"
Grocers in Julcsbur@ who have from
the very start observed the various
rulings Of the food administration AMI
lived up to them to the letter, will be
interested in knowing that Pete sud
denly had change of heart. They
all do when they grow flippant and
q little later on see steel bars loom
ing just ahead of them. Pete's an
swcr was taken to headquarters and
within five minutes he was notified
by the federal food authorities that
he had his choice of doing one OF two
things-filling out the food blank
properly or paying fine Of $1,000
and going to jail for year. We need
not tell YOU which Pete decided to do.
This is only one of thousands of in
cidents showing The tendency of a GER
tain class Of people to ignore the gov
ernment orders, particularly those or
ders given by the food and fuel admin
istrators 1t is higl, time that a few
examples were male. so that every
one could realize that these food rules
are not joking m2ttor and must not
be trifled with. Some grocers are
complying with every order received
and asking no questions. They are
sensible enough to realize that moth
ing unreasonable is going to be asked
of them, and that every order means a
step nearer the end of the war. For
that reason when some fellow like the
Denver grocer gets smart with Uncle
Sam, nothing gives them more pleas
ure than to know that he has been
promptly sguelched.

the aim. The work is well under
way, already have been organized in
January for this years campaign of
food production.
The department is emphasizing the
economic production of food through
these gardens and, therefore, points
out the following important cautions
,a) No home garden should be
raised except by labor of the family;
IN other words, home garden with
hired labor is not advocated. The hir-
ed labor should be released to engage
in general farming to add to the food
stores Of the nation.
tb) Garden seed especially of Ger
tam important standard crops such as
beans and peas, must be conserved and
not wasted.
(c) Good soil, sunlight and air are
necessary for good gardens. 1t is a
waste of seed and labor to plant or
land not suited or where shaded, u
large part of the day.
(d) In small, back yard gardens
plant only those crops which produce
large quantities on a limited area
such as string beans. tomatoes, lima
beans, beets and onions. Corn, peas
potatoes and other such crops require
more space than is needed for Other
crors.

OUR SACRIFICES ARE SMALL

Every day there is something to be
done by the individual citizen toward
winning the war Every American
is volunteer. The food administra-
ton has emphasized the need of meat
and wheat for our soldiers and our
allies. Wheatless days-two Of them
have been established; there is one
meatless day and one porkless day:
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1918-04-04

one meal a day must be wheatless.
These are simple sacrifices and easi-
ly made. We have been denied lit
tie, and as far as conserving food is
concerned, the American people are
suffering nothing. We can do much
more than We are doing and before
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1918-04-04
the war is over, necessity will doubt
less occasion more sacrifice

The American nation may be liken-
ed into team in which, to win, each
shall play the part for which he il best
fitted. Are you playing your po-
sition!
