"She must have been pretty when
she was a girl"
You've heard the remark. 1t is
applied to a woman who has passed
the first fresh beauty of her youth,
her devil beauty" the French call
it.
1t doesn't matter what fine evil
dence of character has come to re-
place the baby-doll features. 1t is of
no importance that her face shows
a record of problems met and con-
quered triumphantly. 1t counts but
little that the woman has sought to
keep her mind alert, and maybe a
trife ahead of the procession.
AS a matter Of fact she may not
have been "a pretty girl when she
was young" She may have lacked
that poise she now possesses. She
may have possessed only a regula-
ton set of features instead of a
first emerged from the school yard.
But it is curious nobody ever
thinks of a mans looks in connec-
ton with his youth. No one ever
a~ppraises a mans substantial paunch
in terms of his college days.
HE was a fine rooker when he
was a Junior" HE must have had
a good figure when he helped to win
a football championship" You
hear any remarks like those.
Mems looks are generally accepted
"as Isl and no questions asked.
What a comfortable situation it
must bel

THE FIRST NIOLETS
Into the garden they came. 4
group of merry laughing girls. 1t
was an old fashioned garden and
the pale green of early spring was
gently covering the gray of wintee.
Along the brick wall the arbutus
nestled. unfolding its buds and Civ
ing to the world its fragrance. Jane.
a light, carefree creature. sprang
ahead and as they turned a corner
in the brick wall, there in one cosy
nook of the garden was a delightful
little tea table waiting for the girls.
How delightful" cried the others.
The sun cast a rudy glow over
the snowy cloth and the fragile
china cleaned. They clustered
about. but someone suddenly ex-
claimed, where's Beth 2" Imma-
diately they all arose but Beth, a tall
blonde girl. came smiling up the
walk. Cupped in her hands she had
a bunch of fragrant purple violets.
OH" they all exclaimed togethe-.
and a robin in a tree nearby began
to carol a melody. They stood quite
still listening until the song was
| ended, then Beth gently put the
violets in a glass of water. where
they reposed while the girls had
their first springtime tea with all
the world looking on, smiling and
happy.

TROOP OR NO TROOP?

Does the state Of Wyoming want a
cavalry troop?
There are a great many things that
a state, community or an individual
may want; but before getting it there
are two questions which should be con
sidered: First, is it needed? Second
what will it cost?
During the days of close figuring
and high taxes the people of the state
might well ask these two questions.
Do we need a troop in the state?
What does it cost the people?
AS some aver that the Federal Gov
eminent pays a greater portion OF
this expense, does not change the que
stion. What ever the Federal Govern
ment pays comes. directly or indirect.
ly out of the pocket of the people.
Directly through the income tax, in.
directly through tariff and other
means of revenue, all OF which must
be met by the people.
1t is claimed that SIS 900 was spent
In Lander last year for troop. A
Perhaps, no one denies it. Yet about
sixty dollars a month when they could
have earned a hundred, but that is
not the question. The people must de-
eide if it is a good investment Does
it pay and do we need the troop?
Once we all were for a troop and
the Armory. Experience helps some
and If we once drew a white elephant
Is no reason why we should continue
to feed said elephant.
