Apart fro mtts ancient religious

Alexander the Greats accordingly,
issued an army order to shave. It
is curious to notice the reversions
of fashion IN the matter. The huge
monuments of the Assyrians show
the conquering armies full-bearded
and only the slaves and captives

~BONNER

Since her husband had died and had
left her very poorly Oh the cynical
relations had wondered what had MADE
her ever marry him In the hsst place.
And some of them had said that doubt
less she had had her eyes shut when
she took him.
But such was not the case. She
had always been very happy despite
her poverty. They had been generous
ever with their little, and the relatives
who were hopeful that the jewels she
possessed would later realise them
something had said that fools and their
money were soon spotted. They vsre
afraid that others who were more
friendly and more sincere would be
left that which they felt as blood heirs
should be theirs.
The little old lady Of whom they
talked for a long time had wanted 70

1T all depends upon what you call

1T has been out about a thousand or
two thousand years, that's ALL" she
added.
She had told me this story with
genuine relish, but afterward she had
been glad she had not been able to
buy the ApOcrypha then. She found
she really could not afford Il; she
could AFFORD nothing to speak Of, at
the present time. And Easter was
coming along, too, the time when she
wanted always to make some special

NAL.
