Drawing the Line.

An actress who had retired from the
stage and bought little house in the
country. decided to start chicken
farm.
Accordingly, acting on the principle
that all big businesses have small be-
ginnings. she bought a hen and set
ting of thirteen eggs.
AS she had no knowledge of poul-
try at all she wrote to poultry jour
nal asking how long the eggs would
take to hatch out. The paper replied I:
"Three weeks for chickens and four
weeks for ducks"
Some weeks later she again wrote
to the paper:
MANY thanks for your advice. How
ever, at the end of three weeks there
were no chickens hatched out, and.
as did not want any ducks, took the
hen off!"-Poultry Journal.

New Club to Keep
Things Moving

One club that we can assure you is
truly non-political is the Royal Ten
which has been organized lately by
some of the upper classmen in the
local and neighboring high schols.
The motto seems to be, Keep
Things Moving" that is from a social
standpoint. They plan to hold some
elaborate dances during the winter
season.

It's An EDemtM Season
Written after Consulting Our Modus Oberandi
by ". ]. Davies

The editor is gone again. This
time we are to look over events
of the season and write EN- up
ready for his delectation when he
returns and final disposition made
in the direction of the waste bas-
ket, or shears. Honestly now
folks there is not much news and
yet there's a whole lot of it de-
pending on the nature of the
news you want TO read For in
stance the whole dang paper
might be turned into a Society
News" column. The sub-editor's
head has nearly turned hind end
foremost in trying TO dodge the
people who would like TO have
him at their parties. There are
parties and parties and more par
ties. They are card parties. To
start with well hear of a Bunco
party then well hear of Finch
game, a game of whist (progres-
sive. Of counsel bridge comes too
and a 800" party. Then it will
start again reversing the order.
Lodges. Ladies Aids, clubs, circles,
blocs. neighbors. and all manner
Of organizations and institutions
vie with one another for a date.
The old, the middle-aged, the
young and the kids make sure of
a date for a party a month ahead
of time. Not satisfied the moth
ers make parties for their babies
SO they may get together TO play
Bunco. Sometimes they occupy
a hall. sometimes a home and
were it not for the vegetables
some would occupy cellars. Some

parties are very fond of the Gel
lars anyhow.
The best time for these social
parties is hard TO determine.
Sunday would be a crackeriack of
a day if it wasn't for the show
on Sunday night. Some like them
exactly at two p. m, standard
central time. while others like TO
break up about two a. m, slow
time with the clock fast. Some
parties have music but only some
of course, it sort of harmonizes
things and tempers- When mus
ic is used it usually is church
music, solemn and grave, with
wonderful, flowing strains which
helps the players to feel the &C.
stasies of the game. Jazz is ia
booed. Refreshments are served
at all parties. 1t would be rather
a dull time, you know, without re-
freshments. Chocolate patties
with pink misunderstanding, we
think it is called, are very much
in vogue this season.
Then the browning event is the
awarding Of prizes. Prizes for
winners in several classes are Civ
en-, for instance, the one whose
hair is fixed incest, the one whose
face is best articized, the one
whose language most nearly APP
proaches Wells and sometimes a
prize is given TO the most popu-
lar lady. You sec the elevating
tendency of these parties.
The manner of departure is
very affecting, and wishes for the
success of the next party is al
ways made.
