make them respect the law"
And then think of all the clothes
we give these people:" said Mrs. Jack
son Elder.
Carol intruded again. ooh yes.
The clothes. l was going to speak of
that. Don't you think that when we
give clothes to the poor, if we do give
them old ones. we ought to mend them
first and make them as ~presentable
as we can? Next Christmas when
the Thanatopsis makes it's distribu-
ton, wouldn't it be jolly # we got to-
gether and sewed onHthe Clothes and
trimmed hats, and made them"
Heavens and earth, they have
more time than we have! They

don't believe we'd better start any

a privilege to hear Carols dear gem

move on the part of the Minneapolis
clubs to elect another State Fedora
ton president from the Twin Cities.
And this Mrs. Edgar Potbury they're
