letters TO Santa next week as we can
handle. This paper goes to press each
week ON Wednesday morning and the
final run is made on Thursday morn

space to publish the letters of the old

Just as joke For this reason we ask
the older boys and girls to refrain
from sending in letters and save the
space for The children, who take their
letters seriously. The Editors.

that Immediately after the shooting
in the Perkins home. Dorothy fell
across Templetons body crying, II
didn't mean to do it."
Did she say i killed him." ask
ed the prosecutor.
Yes, sir; she did say it; at the
"a me time she said. L didn't mean TO
do it, Harssel answered.

Only the King, when he wears his
royal robes once in lifetime, or the
military man, in his uniform, has any
right today to color or gorgeous at

But the primitive man will always
deck himself out when he wants to be
imposing, be it the red Indian with
his feathers or the African King with
top hat and glass beads round his
neck. They will put on their best.
their grandest, for receiving an hon

a council of war. And | rather like IT;
it shows good will, desire to please
or to impress.
Desire for Finery.
To return to women: 1t is said tina I
the desire for finery leads more girls
astray than almost any other cause.
and l suppose this is true. The love
of finery seems an inherent part OF
woman. TO be bred in her blood, TO be
part of her irresistibility.
The desire to look ones best is not
entirely selfish desire; there is hom-
age in it. The host receiving his
guest. the subject receiving his king,
the worshiper appearing before his
god, even the victim being led out to
sacrifice, puts on his best for a last
time. Mary Stuart and Charles L both
decked themselves in their royalest
attire as they went TO the block.
Marie Antoinette was not given the
chance to do so or for sure her erst'

that supreme and final occasion ar
rayed in her finest adornment.
