BRIGHT BITS

(By Lady Contributor)
The whisper of beautiful woman
can be heard farther than the loudest
yell of duty.
!, Some wicked wretch has most un-
kindly said, "Old maids are embers
whence the sparks have flown"

sDo you know that you talk in your
Sleep" said Mrs. S. to her husband,
the municipal Judge. "We1l, do you
begrudge me those few words ?" he
snapped back.
A widow said to her daughter,
sTWhen you are my age, you will be
dreaming of husband" "Yes, man,
replied the thoughtless little hussy,
| "for the second time"
We were asked the question few
days ago. why some women are
called Amazons ?"
Oh, we don't know, unless, perhaps,
err it is because they are uncommon
|ly wide at the mouth"
A woman who has never loved,
hugged, kissed, played with, listened
to, told stories to or thoroughly
spanked child, has missed the car
dinal joys of life..
We are enjoying at the present time
the most gorgeous moonlight season.
a few evenings ago a couple of young
men casually dropped into a certain
home for an informall call. The fam
lily were seated about in pleasant
groups on the spacious veranda, and
F'two" were swinging in the swing. A
young lady approached. The "reaI
sweet" young fellow, seeingy as he
supposed an intrusion. remarked
playfully and with beaming simper,
''You need not look at me as tho you
wanted to eat me-"
"Qh, no." sweetly replied the young
lady as, she turned to find another
seat, 81 never eat green's"
"Oh, sir" said a fond little bride, to
IA telegraph operator a few morn
ings ago, 81 want to send a kiss to
my husband this morning; how can
dc it,"
Easiest thing in the world, mann" !"
said the obliging operator. "All you
have to do is to give it to me, and I'll
transmit it right away"
''If that's the case" replied the
blushing young thing, ''the director
ought to put much younger and hand
somer men in your position
Says one lady to another, 81 can
trace my ancestry back through nine
teen generations"
"You CAM" said the friend, "and
what else can you, do?"
With blush. the dear soul looked
to see how far she had dropped.

Those are fortunate boys and girls
In Ocala who are not at the mercy
of homefoIks too busy and too self
seeking to see that they have the
right kind of food, the right kind of
associates and the right kind of fun
and the right kind of home study.

Seemingly the most popular litera-
ture of the current month is the forid
prcnouncements of the seed and fash
ion merchants. 'No mere writer of
modern times."r says an exchange,
could rival their editors in the gaudy,
sparkling workings" If poet should
present a faded wisp of parsley or a
tattered vision of moonglow-silk.
after the effervescing manner of the
seed and fashion merchants, the
blankest wind of blank verse would
be worth couple of dollars per line.
lie Titan could handle his pigments
as THE greens and silk dealers do their
praises, he would be something more
than an old master, and there would
be statues of him in every park in the
United States, including the new Tus-
cawilla park In Ocala.
It's wise dove indeed that knows
i his own feathers these times.
