THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who was very disappointed young
matron yesterday afternoon. Her
small daughter is year and a half
old and from day to day the fond
mother has been watching her hair
grow so that she might tie a bow on it
and realize that she really had a
daughter. So yesterday afternoon she
got some hair together that she
thought would hold a bow. and Sc
lected the color most becoming to her
daughter from among the collection
of hair ribbons which she had all
ready waiting for the happy hour.
When she got the large bow adjust
ed she was very proud of her success
and Kept her child in the house for
some time. as long as she could con-
| scientiously do so on such an after
noon. just to watch her and imagine
how beautifully becoming the decid-
eddy feminine things were to the baby
girl, whom she was already seeing
growing into young womanhood.
Finally, however. she let her go out
into the yard to play. and she didn't
care if the neighbors. too, had a little
treat by getting look at her dangh-
ter. who was a real girl" In a short
time the mother went to the door for
another peek and it was then that the
| blow fell-the little fairy was out in
la IL =
procession of about ten boys. each
| carrying a gun, and. horror of hor-
rors! she, too, was walking with a.
stride and had a small gun over her
shoulder. Who can expect to rear a
dainty girl in war times? This mother
| has decided to let the Spirit of the
| Times have it's way.
