THERE'S A MAN IN OUR TOWN
Who spent most of the night one of
these hot ones on the lawn in front of
his home. People passing wondered
what that white object which took on
such huge proportions in the dark
could be. but aside from the cars
which turned the corner at frequent
intervals and the family dog which
barked every time any danger threat
would have been lovely here had 1t not
been for some honey bees, which saw
him first, and proceeded to remind
him that the front yard was well
guarded by them every night. The
sting of the bee is worse than that of
prickly heat.

THE LETTER OF a DEBUTANTE.
Dear S. r.: If 1t isn't a hardship
to be a debutante in war time and
hot weather. I'd hate to have really
/ hard luck. There just isn't a thing to
do but study shorthand and either go
to picture shows and be bored or knit
and worry about the war. But still
the most pleasure even a debutante
gets these days is that derived from
| the feeling that at least our knitting
counts as much as our older sisters
and that We do not lead the worth
less, selfish lives that our sisters did
when they were our age. 1 forgot
to tell you that there Is a picnic and
swimming party and a dance occa-
sionally in the evening to break the
, monotony of life and to keep up the
| morale of the younger SET" as some
| choose to call US.
| Did you meet either the bride or
| the bridegroom of a few days ago on
! the street the day the event came off :?
! The bridegroom wore a smile that
looked as tho it was permanent and
the bride looked very much 'as for
me, more than ever"
, Wasn't 1. fine that we girls under
the able direction of Miss Julia Lari-
mer TOOK in over thirty-five hundred
dollars for thrift stamps and baby
