is running of inquisitive officers to insure safety and frivolity. Each man, each woman, has an invitation to at tend.
 Wolfville Days
 Wolfville daysi How much that says. what multitudes of things it brings to mind. One sees a picture of pretty women and daring men. The roulette wheel, whirling. bright lights. gay laughter and snatches of song. These were in the days when joy was unconfined, with little or no conven- tfons, when men would fight at the drop of hat and stake all for a smile from soft eyes.
 Now those days are only memories in the dim vistas of the past. But they have been dwelt upon and talked over and dreamed about. Wonderful stories have been written concerning these exciting times. and greedily they have been devoured by every boy and girl as soon as they are able to read, thrilling stories that keep ones inter est until the bitter end. Not only for children but by every man and woman who have red blood in their veins. For men were brave and honorable and whe nit came to some gun play they were ever ready. If the phrase. "a good old scout" had been coined in those days it would have been word thread bare from much use. Fortunes were lost and made in night
 So in Bisbee we have all these things presented to us in imitation at the Elks club. So realistic do they seem that it is very hard to believe that the years havn't been rooled back and that some shooting iron" will soon take an active part
 Many Women Attend
 The women were there in gala at- tire with flushed faces. gambling, and with a sincere hope that the Goddess Chance will be kind and continue to smile for the rest of the week. For the very best cause in the world, "a Thrift stamp that will be a war bond bye and bye.'' A note of pathos is felt when the thought comes of our fighting men who have so many needs. But soon it fees with the knowledge that we are doing all that we can by buying these baby bonds. Only joyful thoughts can remain where lights are so bright and music is so gay. Stories that you have heard come fiocking up, and you rub your eyes and expect to see a dance hall girl come tripping in.
 The frocks the women wear and the trim bushes ssuits of the men bring us back out of yesterday. But the spirit is the same for human nature never changes and the primeval is ever latent. only glGssed and vaneered by civilization. The fascination of it holds one spell-bound; the click of the dice and the sound of shuffling feet overhead and then an occasional "bet- ting on the red breaks tEe silence" Men and women mingling, bending. above the roulette, earnest, grave and serene, all sood sports, and good losers, too.
 Then to go above and watch the dance brings ones fancies back 50 or 70 years. A man goes around and takes up a dime after each dance, which is very interesting and also very modern. This is a splendid idea of charging a dime for each dance. be- cause there are a great many people who only care to dance few dances during the evening. This makes it possible. then they may have mole money for the gaming table-that be- ing the real days of '49
 This week of frivolity at the Elks club promises to be a memorable event Money isn't wasted when buy ing Thrift stamps, so to squander it with a lavish hand on these worthy things is commendable-and just look how much fun one gets doing it.
