IN THE SOCIAL WORLD
JUNIORS GIVE PLEASING
DADNCE AT SCHOOL

Leave it to the Juniors was a
remark made at the dance held in
the high school last night, and, left
to the Juniors, they conducted a
social affair which could not be out
classed by any recon dance held in
the institution.
The ugliness of the bare walls,
pipes and gymnasium equipment
was neutralized by a p%rofusion of
evergreens, banked all about the
place, on the balcony, along the
sides, and given life by touches of
red. In the middle of the dance
floor a huge Christmas tree, decor
ated with a myriad of colored lights,
reached almost to the ceiling and
was consistent with the approaching
season In one corner a similar
decoration was erected about which
were grouped the chaperones. made
comfortable in easy chairs by a
thoughtful committee. A large "23"
in gilt numbers on one of the walls
lent evidence that the Junior class
We're hosts.
Toward the close of the evening
homemade fudge, ice cream and
cake evidenced that the class knew
well how to please its guests.
Jasper johnson was the chairman
of the dance committee and was as
sisted by Bertha MaeDowall, Anita
Pfeiffer, Joseph Wurtzel. Rose Wolf
son., Sam Convery, Paul Rasmussen
and Frances Splitter. Corson's Or
chestra furnished the music.
The chaperones were Mr.. and
Mrs. Glenworth Sturgis, MI. and
Mrs. Victor Wisner, Miss Eleanor
Martin, Miss Muriel Foete, Miss
Florence Stauffer and Miss Marion
Burns.

MMuu

Somebody says that the
Invalid Is not short lived, but his
family may be-"
In the n Of most neighbor-
hoods, there is a chapter about the
pima who suffered from nerves"
all her life. l recall one who for
years disguised 'laziness' as
nerves" AT eighty-ive she is pref
". dainty and seren when she isn't
nagging somebody. And she still
dictates to her youngest daughter,
who, at ~ffty-seven, has neither a
past % a future. except as a slave
TO dear mothers nerves."
IL the new psychology is ever TO
be of any value to women, IT will be
in the way Of exterminating these
victims OF nerve sprees.
If they can't be taught that they
are takers, who like TO deceive them
selves, then they might be so
neglected by their s~ubservient
relatives that they would make a lit
tie personal effort to save their own
precious lives.
Comes this story Of heroic treat
ment, as devised by a young hus-
band:
MY wife had her own checking
account from the first week of our
marriage. She went through a pri-
vate school and has all the accom-
plishments of a child of fortune, all
though her family never had money
until her father made 1t. She had no
background of restraint.
THE men of my family have
strict ideas about financial integrity.
"Our credit in the community is the
basis of our family pride. Imagine
my shock when / found that my
bride was destroying my credit
Like thousands of girls today.
she set out to spend, as a bride, the
total earnings of her husband-with-
out any training in the art of spend
ingi
"She overdrew her account and
then she concealed her bills from me.
II tried to teach her a little bust
ness sense but finally gave up. l
closed her checking account, and
had all the bills sent to me. I gave
her a cash allowance for spending
each month.
