The city auditorium has never been
described as a Bower of beauty and
charm" But those who know are
prophesying that after Saturday night
it will be hard to resist saying those
very words. For it will be deliberately
decorated in spring colors and filled
with spring roses and other flowers.
The ugly woodwork will be hidden for
the most part by lattices covered with
trailing vines and blossoms; the lights
will be shaded. the corners screened.
You will be going to a flower garden
and you want to have your happiest,
sweetest disposition with you to be-
come the beautiful spot.
The Cinderella story of sudden
transformation from rags and ugli-
ness to elegance and beauty is not
more wonderful than the change that
it is to come to the big auditorium.
So it will be a Cinderella party in
more ways than one. For who knows
how many people are going to seem
much more lovely and delightful to
their friends that evening? And, too
this charming person is going to be
there herself, they keep telling me.
Glass slippers have gone up since the
war when there was such a demand
for glass in field glasses and trench
mirrors, SO Cinderella will be quite
choosy about her partners, wanting
toes when dancing. Yet they will be
made of extra fine glass and will not
shatter easily and she will smile
sweetly and say mot at all'' at the first
offense. But il any one tries to keep
her after the stroke of twelve, let them
bewarei Her godmother, you know,
doesn't like Cindy to stay out late and
she will make trouble for any one who
keeps her past midnight Godmother
is extremely old fashioned.

ARE YOP ONE OF THEM?
Are you one of those guys that think
they are a lot of something they can
never be and that strut up and down
the avenue in funny looking clothes
and wear funny little nustaches and
have queer ideas about the old world
ohA W d Ilf1HS anu that YOU want
it paid without going out to collect it;
Are you one of those poor deluded
boys who think that the world re-
wolves around you and that it is you
that makesthe world revolye and that
there is no one in the whole world any
brighter. smarter or wiser than YOU
and that even your old daddy is a
poor fish with q lot of wornout ideas
about life and that he should listen to
you and not you to him;
Are you one of those wise birds
that think school is made for girls and
sissies and that you are entirely toe
bright to have a teacher tell you any
thing, and that there is nothing in the
broad land that you don't know and
that if anything clever is thought you
are the one that thinks it out and that
no one could possibly be any better
posted than you;
Are you one of those brainy ginks
that no matter what happens every
thing bores you and you have seen sc
much that every one else is ign orant
and you stand on the corner and won
der how it is people can get along
without your advice;
! II you are you had better get a new
Idea of life because you are going tc
pull up with an awful thud and have
| a package handed to you that shows
| you that you don't know anything
And I guess that will be about ALL.

THERE Is A MAN IN OUR TOWN
/ Who went to a party a few nights
ago. had a good time as he should
and when it was time to depart he
got his coat and hat, said goodby and
Il have enjoyed myself to his hostess
! and started out, the music of his
whistle sounding on the night air
After he had gone three blocks he
| stopped suddenly with an awful realf
cation that he had forgotten some
thing. In. minute it came to him
/ 1t was his wife. She was still at the
party. And his wife is not a recent
requirement, either.
