Tickets Going Fast
for "GLass OF Fashion

Plans for the club affair to be
held next Monday evening are ma
turing nicely. "The Glass of Fash
ion," will, of course be the big fea-
ture and everybody is curious about
that. The dancing and the break
fast will be enjoyable and as soci-
ETY. has been rather quiet for some
days past, all will the more enjoy
the evening Of fun and frol;c, its
unique feature adding to the at
traction. The demand for tickets
at Solomon s and Clements is in
creasing. Those who have not got
ten their tickets would do well to
see to it at once.
The entertainment is to be given
as benefit for the club debt. The
obligations of the club financially,
as well as socially, must be met and
when they can be by such delightful
methods, it is certainly enjoyable.
The club had a lot of courage to
push its building to finish when
others were hesitating to go ahead,
and that same courage will see it
through to finish. Two hundred
determined women can do anything,
when they pull together.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
PAPER BAG

Once upon time, as Uncle Wig
gily was hopping home to his hol-
low stump bungalow, he heard a
voice sailing behind and saying:
"Hold on! Wait minute! I
want you'll
"Oh, no; no, indeed! Nothing like
that!' thought the bunny gentle
man to himself. "You re the Fox
or Wolff know you are-and you
want to nibble my earsi"
SO Uncle Wiggily hoped on all
the faster, but when he heard a
jolly laugh close behind him the
bunny rabbit turned and saw Mr..
Whitewash, the polar bear friend.
What's your hurry, Uncle Wig
gily?'' asked Mr.. Whitewash. 81
am lonesome and / wanted to walk
with you.
Ion, excuse me! l thought you
were the Wolf or Fox said Uncle
Wiggily. "Of course III walk with
you, Mr.. Whitewash."
Then the two friends walked along
together until, all of a sudden, I'm
Gle Wiggily saw an empty paper bag
on the ground where it had been
dropped, perhaps by the delivery
dog boy from the grocery store.
I'm play little trick on Nurse
Jane with this paper bag" said
Uncle Wiggily as he picked it up.
How will Won rlay q trick on

harm, I think" said Mr.. White
wash, also laughing.
Then the polar bear gentleman
went his way and Uncle Wiggily
went his way, and as he hoped
along the bunny rabbit blew the
empty paper bag full of air tying q
string around the neck so none of
the air would get ont.
"This will be q fine trick to fool
Nurse Jane" thought Uncle Wig
gily, as he looked at the empty bag,
now full and big and round, like a
balloon. And, as Mr.. Whitewash
said, there is no harm in it.''
Holding the bag as if he might be
carrying something very valuable,
like chuncks of coal or diamonds,
Uncle Wiggily drew near his hol-
low stump bungalow. He was laugh
ing to himself, thinking how sur
prised Mrs. Fuzzy Wuzzy would be
when, all of sudden, voice called,
asking:
What are you giggling at7''
1t was cross, impolite voice and
as soon as he heard it Uncle Wig
gily felt that he was going to have
trouble. He turned around and there
he saw the Bob Cat.
Hum!'' snarled the Bob Cat,
looking hungrily at Uncle Wiggily's
ears. "What have you Thereof and
his eyes glared at the empty but
blown-up paper bag. What have
you Thereof
Nothing answered Uncle Wig
gily, truthfully enough, for really
there was nothing in the bag but
air, and that doesn't count.
Nothing! Nothing in that big
fat bag!' howled the Bob Cat. -
don It believe you! Here! Give it
to me!' He reached out his paws
for the bag, but he grasped it so
hard clasping his paws together,
the Bob Cat did, that he burst the
paper bag.
HBang!' it went with a noise
like a gun. 'Bang!'

ing for shade and ornamental pur-
kposes for 10, these many years. If
everybody becomes interested, the
thing will be done, and this little

tributed its part toward making
America "the garden spot of the
