The SUNSHINE GIRL.

Dear Bill: Below is my feeble
tribute to a frail little girl in
the office who, regardless Of her
ills and discomforts, has spreau
sunshine here and there and mas
shown that she will never accept
defeat and will set an example
for those who are inclined to
give up:
Here's to the little lady
Who tips the scale at eighty.
With her office problems so welghtV,
6till her disposition might be termed
''Eaity."
Her witty stories and ever ready
smiles
Notwithstanding her many trials,
Have chased our discomfort and blues
for miles.
Her flower-bedecked deak
Bespeaks the sunshine she spreads
To those who appreciate her hest.
90, our hats off TO the little lady
Who weighs no more than eighty.
JAKE.

We older folks talk lot about

As matter of fact, II is the most

before the boy knows it himself.
And it's that same intuition that

to two babies playing in a sand-pile.
