The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1920-11-19


An Ocala girl is reported to be hes
itating whether to get married or 90
TO work. She probably means whether
TO get married and work overtime
We understand there are seven
0cala men who assert they have never
kissed a girl All we have to say is
their education may be complete in
other respects but they are accom-
plished liars.
There is gentleman in our town
who has ordered that the front door
OF his residence be closed every night,
a thing that has never been done dur
ing his residence of thirty-five years.
Upon being question why, he said:
well, you know we have baby In
the house now and somebody might
want to steal her.
An Ocala banker says the average
housewife is extravagant. Yes, we
admit there are some persons who
prefer beefsteak to beans.

We haven't read Antoinette Dom
lnelly's new book, "New Waistlines
for Old" not that we would object,
but no one has sent US a copy. But
We will say this much, we have read
of il and we have liked what we have
read, because this is part of what it
said: Now sit me down and eat, I
pray shall temptation beat, for if /
yield before I'm through, I'll surely
gain pound or two"
At last one of the ambitions of our
life has been realized. We have seen
a newspaper picture of a tennis player
without one foot in the air. These
are certainly revolutionary times.
The reason why many men and
boys are not popular with some
girls Is simply because they have not
the price.
Get busy with your paint brushes.
Ocala looks fine, but clean up all the
old spots.
So
If any one has more money than
they know what to do with, give it to
home missions. Maybe some of it
Sill be spent in our town.
Anything that adds to happiness
cannot be a waste" said the young
woman who has learned to smoke a
pipe.
The windows in the shops would do
credit to a city many times the size
of Ocala. Do your Christmas shop
ping early.
Don't be a tight wad. When the
roll is called up yonder it won't be a
bank roll.
The thing that gets our Mamie is
how the chronic loafers manage to get
enough to eat and wear.
We believe one reason why lots of
people do not go to church, is they are
afraid the minister might give out a
hymn with such absolute sentiments
as work for the Night is Coming"
If the price of hogs keeps on drop
ping, in the course Of little time
some merchants and landlords won't
bring six cents.
The cost of manicuring in some
cities has gone up something awful.
And yet we know of several hands
right here in Ocala that cost more to
hold than that before the game is
over.
The New York Morning Telegraph
says: English women have set good
example to their American sisters.
They have discovered that however
soothing q cigarette may be after tea,
or at any other time, for real solace
tker is nothing equal to companion
able pipe, preferably of briar, brought
to state of perfection by much use.
The preference for pipe smoking Is
growing; in fact, has become habit
d1uOIA& IAlC UESb U1Su dlAu Al1UoI 1cAon-
ionable in the kingdom" If such is
to be considered as ian example to
American sisters" please excuse US.
Americas best bred women were
raised by old fashioned mothers who
scorned tobacco habits as undreamed
of for the feminine sex.

All over the country we read of
s'bobbed hair clubs 1t seems that
there is lurking in every woman's
mind these days a wish for bobbed
hair. They say with their browning
glory clipped, they have an added
sense of freedom, and that with wider
skirts French heels viii be abandoned,
and more gymnastics and other sani-
ties enjoyed. Well, maybe so, but we
are wondering whether whether hair
bobbing is reckoning the lovely and
now fully enfranchised sex. Bobbed
hair introduces another complexity
| into the unguessable riddle-woman.
There's a gentleman in our town
who delights In getting up at early
