Quite absolutely, utterly bored with
Christmas. She always received some

Yes sir! she was bored with Christ

pletely bored with Christmas!
Engagement Relieves Boredom.
Perhaps her boredom was by way

when he flashed his dark humorous
eyes. s.,
Ruth and nc had been engaged just

sometime,in the indefinite future from
January TO June. Harley, upon his re-
turn from travels abroad with the, Eu-

in several fields but had not felt lCca-
tel until employed by a firm dealing
with plumbing, heating and household
appliances. After a year with this
house he had notion he was making
