How to Tell a Story.

Listen to the most popular girl you
know-the next time you meet her at
Il dance.
If she's at all the usual type of big
| timer, you'll hear her relating some
| aneCdote with a great deal of gusto-
and getting an enormous laugh from
the boys with her every word.
If you listen carefully, you'll notice
that the stories she's telling aren't
world-beaters for humor and wit.
In fact. she's probably just giving
an account of her shopping this after
noon, or the awful luncheon she at
tended the other day
But she's putting her little speech
across with all the hreeZiness of
popular stage star, who knows what
the audience likes and gives it to
them.
How many of you girls can tell
story so that it sounds frightfully
good, even II it isn't? How many of
you know how to cut out all but the
most essential points, so that the yarn
Is brief and amusing.
Not many, IN afraid. After endur-
Ing an awful tea in New York, listen
ing to half-dozen young things chat
tering, one may be forgiven for seem
ing slightly soured.
oh, the stories they We're telling,
And the way they We're telling them!

Aunt Ruth always wears for evening
dresses. Isn't she a scream She's
not really my aunt, You know. but
she's always taken a great interest in
me. Well, what was | going TO say"
| etc, etc.
BY the time the raconteur has
worked around to the real point of her
story, nobody cares about her pearls
or the color of them or anything else
she's talking about--everybody is
| just praying for a quick ending.
/ It's nice To be able TO put across a
/ good story-it is one sure way of
making a hit with the men.
/ But you must learn TO stick to the
/ job at hand-not to go rambling off
on side tracks. which only confuse
and annoy your hearers.
/ You must remember never to tell
story that lasts more than couple
| Of minutes-at the very outside.
| No matter how howlinGly funny
may be the tale you're unfolding, if

! If you're going to tell stories, tell
I them well-or cut them out of your
/ program entirely.
( Don't let yourself become one of
/ these pests whose beginning of a
! story is a signal for every one else to
! run away, and stay hidden until the

How's Your Diatolic Pressure ?

a specialist in mental and nervous

writes that a correspondent whom

has lost some excess weight upon
treatment to correct endOcrln imbal-
ance. The specialist apparently sits
up nights trying TO conceive ways of
destroying his own business, for he
SAYS:
There is one subject I wish you
could attack in Your inimitable way.
and that is the matter of blood
pressure. The majority Of people be

so many people disturbed and anxious

There is a fine sermon for people

and he places his educated finger on
the sick spot-anXiety about blood
pressure. 1t is laughahle, if ones
blood pressure is not too high, to
think of an individual becoming anX-
ious about his blood pressure and

CHAPTER X.
The Movies.

After supper, which, in spite of
Madeline's attempts to make light
conversation, was not the most Cheer
full meal in the world, Jack suggested
going to the movies.
"There's "a good bill at the place
around the corner, noticed the post
ers as | passed" he explained, and
Madeline, who interpreted the con-
straint between Jack and ROsalind as
a lovers quarrel, said quickly:

RoSalind laughed.

lightly.
Madeline flushed to the roots OF
her hair.
"Oh, Rose" she said, expostulat-
inGIy.
But it's true" Rosalind returned
quickly And you're quite wrong.
Jack and l haven't quarreled. We
understand each other better than we
ever have before, don't We JaCk?'
Jack stood in miserable silence. He
never could combat Rosalind when she
was III one of her hooking moods.
Her tongue tripped along faster than
his; he never could seem to think
of the right thing TO say. And, be
sides, her refusal had cut deep into
his heart He loved her and until to-
night he had always had an idea that
some day she would marry him.
Kind hearted Madeline came TO the
rescue.
"All right. if you really want me,

that il is not all right. The patient
who insists on knowing the exact

Wisenheimer family and as such he
is pretty certain 10 assume he knows
about as much as the doctor knows
about medical matters, or perhaps a
little more.
People with the high blood pressure
obsession or anxiety neurosis rarely
understand what blood pressure
means. They cherish a ready-made
fancy that it is new-fashioned way
of saying too much blood" or too
rich blood" or plethora, and often
they do themselves a great deal of
harm by reSOrting TO the frequent
or habitual use of cathartic salts in
the foolish attempt TO thin the blood

any case, and a thing which has

there is no scientific ground for the

because of some underlying disease

HOW 1T STARTED

birth could marry beneath him, so to

riage, the wife being q "morganatic"
wife. In the origin of the term we
find an interesting story which sheds
light on this old custom.
.'Morganatic" is derived from the
root morning" or the German "mor-
gen." it being with the Germanic
princes that the practice originated.
And did such marriage take place in
the morning? No. 1t was from a diff
ferent circumstances that the word
took its origin. That was the "mor-

settled upon the bride, usually the
morning after the wedding, in lieu Of

PARADE DRAWS MUCH COMMENT
 FROM PUBLIC
FINEST PARADE IN YEARS PRE- SENTED DURING FOURTH OF JULY PRoGRAM-vIsITo iM- PRESSED.

Crash! Bang, Boom! The citizen: of Seward and visitors were awaken ed Saturday morning, the 4th of July to the shattering concussions of a battery of 21 guns saluting the dawn and the arrival of the National Day Smoke began to pour from out chim neys shortly thereafter and by o'clock, the streets of the city be gan to fill up with throngs of peo pie awaiting the start of the parade the first event of the celebration.
 And the parade was one to well be proud of
 Shortly before II o'clock, under the skillful management of officer of the day, Gus Manthey and a few willing assistants, the floats and au tos were lined up, and headed by the standard bearers, drum corps and bu gler, set forth jauntily about the streets of Seward. Hundreds of people crowded the walks gazing with interest at the patriotic and beautiful scheme of harmony slowly vending it's way along. Clever clowns and impersonators turned flip. Hops and in general created a ripple of mirth by costumes, and of their antics.
 As cameras clicked and wild blares from tin horns resounded, twenty-one automobiles, floats, and dog sled pass ed in review before the cheering citizens and visitors to the city. The prize winner for the best patriotic float, was the beautiful Colonial slipper float, entered by Mrs. Me Mullen and Mrs. Weybrecht. A gi- gantic slipper of white with buckle of red, white and blue, with four daintily clad children, was as a gem amidst a foliage of evergreens.
 Owing to the artistic and unique patriotic float, entered by Mrs. Claude Shea and Mrs. Erikson, the judges, were forced to make special sec ond award. This float was entitled, 'The Making of the Flag" The la dies chose an appropriate subject for their entree Highly decorated in greens and flags, four small child ren Were grouped about the out spread flag.

 Sylvia Sexton took first prize in having the best decorated auto. Her car was literally covered with garb of green crepe paper, to which clus- ters of white daisies sprung from. The second best award was won by the bathing girls car. The car was draped with flags and bunting. 1t was stated by a close observer. But the young ladies themselves! The beyy of charming Seward feminity, clad in the newest of styles bathing costumes, held and filled the eye, until they disappeared from view. The bathing beauties consisted of the Misses Katherine Neville, Helen Bal derston, Cecil Leslie, Melba Johns rud, Clara Manthey, Mary Greenfield, Viola Sheldon, Dorothy Baughman, Alice Murphy, Betty Dykstra, MT. B. B. Green, overseas expert auto driver, drove the car.
 The third best decorated auto award was won by the Seward Bakery. A loaf of bread about ten feet in length, held up by a force of bakers and helpers. The car was dressed in white with interminglings of the na- tional colors. Other splendid floats was the Methodist Church contribu- tion of car load of children, all waving flag.
 The childrens float also came in for much favorable comment. These children were likewise presented with flags which were kept in motion thru out the entire march. McMullen's Grocery store had it's delivery auto in line, with decorations adorning it. The large auto truck from the local naval radio station, appropriately decorated and with men in uniform on it, pleased everyone. Joe Bad ger with his decorated Ford was one of the many bright spots in the line of march.
 To Don Shellhorn went the first prize for the best decorated bicycle. The best clown was Roberta McIn- tosh. The best male impersonator was Patricia Ray. The best female impersonator was Wilfred Stump. Ernest Bailey walked off with the award for the best sustained charac- ter.
