THE FLOWER OF WOMANHOOD

The womenfoks | used 20 know
Were womany, and sweet;
They didn't smoke, mems clothes,
Or talk loud The street
They didn't transparent gauze,
With shoulder straps for waists;
They didn't their faces o'cr
With perfumed paints and pases.
Far dearer than the noisy dance
To them love and home;
They their skirts a proper length,
When forth they CHANGED to roam.
The of mother in their cars
Was strangely dear and sweet;
They loved to for little ones,
And guide their baby feet.
They heard the awful jazz,
That hurts our ears today;
They the honid scenes,
Some movie films display.
They loved the solid, precious things
Cared for froth and foam;
They knew the dearest spot earth
Was a well-ordercd home.
The type is not extinct, thank Cod
And mid the crazy ,hrong
Of pleasure seekers, FOOLS and cranks,
They sing their clear sweet song.
The flower of womanhood still lives
The world TO cheer and bless;
To fill each home in which it blooms
With love and happiness.

The annual meeting of the Vii

at the Library Monday afternoon,
with a good attendance. This is
always an interesting occasion, as
the work of the Society is so con-

Some people think that all they
have to do is to sit back, and the

will keep the village clean, and in
order, make it beautiful and fit to

HE STARS OF EILMpoM.

The picture stars whom we have learned to respect
and admire from constantly viewing their work upon
the screen, and whom we have invested with a sacred
ness and immunity from ordinary Shortcomings of
humanity because of the highly moral lessons their
pictured characters portray, cut a sorry figure when
the veil is lifted from their everyday lives. They are
angels no longer. They are as drab and common as
humanity ever gets. We are shocked at the things
they have done, said and written in their private lives.
They have lost the high place they held in our esteem
and our interest in them is no more than pity for their
weaknesses.
There are possibly many actors and actresses in
pictures who are above the mode of life commonly
lived in picture colonies, and against whom there is
no breath of scandal. 1t is unfair to them that the
actions of other and less moral members should be the
means of smirching their characters or professional
regulations, yet they are made to suffer just the same.
As the stars, one by one, fall from the picture frma-
Dient, those remaining are cast in shadow.

need of general reformation, in both personnel and
product, as the moving picture industry. 1t grows

The one thing most in the way of a fairly ~satisfae-
tory adjustment of living conditions in Casper, Is ex'
crbitant rents. When landlords come TO their senses
and learn that the war is over and we arc on the way
back to normal conditions, and reduce rents to hg-
ures within hailing distance of labor pay checks, Cas-
per will still be the best town on earth
Living costs, SO far as provisions are concerned,
arc on a fair basis Other iieecssaries like shoes and
clothing are likewise within zach again after their

Of the ordinary payroll worker.
Are the landlords going to remain obdurate and re-
fuse to be readjusted along with their brothers, the
merchant, the grocer, the shoe man and the rest?
Are the landlords going to be the ones to give the
city the only black eye she will exhibit to the public
in the matter of coming back to fairness and nor
malcy?
