The way some things are being re-
lated about some families. seems to
US that father would rather take his
teeth to the dentist than little job
of darning to his daughter.
The New York papers are Dragging
about their swell disappearing beds.
Well, they are welcome to them so far

tangled disappearing bed.
An exchange asserts that it is 60
ing to cost more this winter to be

under the circumstances we can very
well afford to postpone the whole bus

These late midsummer evenings,
