The young couple that must make
sound investments in furniture will
find many reasons for choosing fine
reproductions of colonial pieces.
The best reason is that this type of
furniture has been so widely admired
and used that 1t is of lower price,
considering the quality of materials
and workmanship, than any other
kind.
This Gov. Winthrop desk is a splen
did example of the solid mahogany
Colonial furniture to be found in
nearly all furniture shops today. Its
serpentine front. claw and ball feet,
and beautiful wrought brass handles
and key plates are characteristic.
Desks of this type are priced vari-
ously according to size and the elab-
ora tion OF their cabinet work at
Sfl5 to Sl15.

FIRST FEAST IN IIEOROT.
Drawing: Hrothgar's Costume).
1t Is said that a million candles lit
the hall, Heorot, on that night when
first King Hrothgar opened 1t to his
people and thames for feasting. The
sun had scarcely set when many
brave warriors filed into the hall to
feast and receive the gifts which
their king had promised for their help
In building this greatest of feast
halls.
Hrothgar and his fair queen,
Wealhtheow, came into the han when
all the company had gathered there,
Both were dressed in raiment fitting
the rulers of the War-Danea and they
walked to the great throne in
Heorot taking their seats-after
which the thames and people also
were seated.
Then did King Hrothgar cause his
pages to bring many gifts to the
throne, which he. Hrothgar. did dis
pense to his loyal subjects. Thus did
the feasting begin. And none did
think of that foul fiend who even now
was roaming the fens and marshes,

PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION

S EACH special season comes
around in the spinning year, we
naturally consider it not only in it's
personal relation to us, but also from
the point of view of our work, of our
aims and purposes, and at no other
time, perhaps, do we pause so long
as at Christmas.
Among all the many opportunities
which open before us, may we not
find the possibility of bringing back
to our homes some of the beauty of
the time which still casts it's spell
over us, at it did when we were child
rem, even though we sigh for the
glamour and the joy of the Christmas
of our youth.
Let us take time to make it pos
sible for them (the children) to have
their plans and mysteries and sur
prises, to earn, so that they may know
the true meaning of generosity, and
to find at least a portion of their
pleasure in that which they have done
for others" Child Welfare Magazine,
December, 1928.

BE CONSIDERABLE

ONE of the important features in
the shop early and mail early
campaign, which is being put on
throughout the country by the post
office department, is the proper adj
dressing and securely wrapping of
Christmas packages. When you wrap
your Christmas packages, wrap them
securely, put your address in the up
per left corner, so, if by any chance,
it should go astray, it can be returned
to you and not sent to the dead letter
office. The people of our community
last year helped to bring joy and hap
piness to thousands of postmen and
clerks. Let's do our shopping early
and mailing early again this year, SO
that we may again enable the post
men and the post office clerks to eat
their Christmas dinners home with
their families and at the same time
assure ourselves of having our Christ
mas presents delivered to our friends
in order that they may be opened on
Christmas morning.

TRAGEDY
By THOMAS ARK-E CLARK
Dean of Men, University of
Illinois.

THERE are good many tragedies
in the real world today, as there
are in books, and / have seen not
few of these OF all those that l have
seen | think the memory of Arnold
though that was not his real name,
comes back to me most wildly and
haunts me most often. ArnOld's trag
edy was a tragedy of drink.
There are good many people
drinking today, thoughtlessly, reck
lessly, because it is clever or expen-
sive, or illegal, or devilish, to do so,
and not because they have an appetite
for drink. Otherwise sensible people
take the habit lightly, girls joke about
it, college boys play with it as chill
people take it to prove that they can
afford the stuff City officials wink
at it and order the police to arrest no
one unless it is absolutely impossible
to do otherwise, but to get the fell
lows off the main streets. Few really
try to decide whether prohibition is
blessing or crime.
1 was called to Arnolds room one
dull gray Saturday afternoon in VIM
ter. 1t was necessary that l come
quickly, the messenger said There
were three or four fellows in the room
when l entered, and the air was heavy
with tobacco smoke and sitting with
the odor of whisky. Gilbert, sitting
crumpled up in the corner of the room
with his head in his hands, looked up
white-faced and terrified as I entered.
No one spoke, but speech was unnec-
essary. On the bed, CHASTITY and hor-
rible, lay Arnold dead.
| got the story out of them brOkenly,
for they were all too agitated TO talk
coherently. Gilbert had furnished the
whisky and they had spent the after
noon gambling and drinking. 1t was
lark only that was intended, but
there was a good deal of the liquor,
and they were all soon under it's in
fuence. Then suddenly as they were
in the midst of their hilarity Arnold
had pitched forward upon the table.
Iney tnOugnt IL joke at nrSt. put
nothing that they could do would re-
vive him; he was quite dead. Stag
gering, they carried him to the bed
and sent for me.
/ recall all the details. of the inquest
two days later-the mother of Arnold
broken-hearted, Gilbert searching in
vain for comfort and consolation, and
the dead boy lying upon the bed, the
fumes of liquor still coming from his
lips. There was nothing to be done,
nothing to be said; there is not now.
Gilbert departed and I have never
seen or heard of him again.

SAFETY AND EXCUSES


a N EXCUSE is a poor relief in an
automobile accident An excuse does
not mend an injured limb, bring the
dead back to life, or repair property
damage. An excuse does not ease the
conscience of the driver of an auto
mobile which figures in an accident,
no matter how plausible the excuse
may be. The public wants safety
not excuses. A safe driver never has
to make excuses for his driving. Safe
driving constitutes the application of
common sense, obedience to the rules
of the road, and the traffic laws, and
perfection in the fine art of being a
gentleman.
