IF YOU CAN'T GO BACK TO YOUR OLD HOME, MAKE

that you fill such small niche in the place where you live
Perhaps you looking back former home where

Because you have this in mind you have really
settled down
You take passive interest in the town where you i've
You indifferent on-ooker in the where you
are working for competence.
You have really gotten into the spirit Of the place
and so you always homesck for your former home
You might have many good friends but you put

STAGE |S SET FOR
 ANNUAL MASK BALL
GAY GALAXY OF COSTUMES Ex- PEcTED, ACCORDING TO
 PREPARATIONS

Patrons to the annual firemen's New Years Eve ball tomorrow night are asked to pay strict attention to the leaders of the grand march who have been under training for the last week. The line of march will be form ed at II o'clock and will be headed by a troop of young girls, garbed ap- propriately in page costumes, and with large trumpets with which to herald the march. With close atten- tion by the participants little difficult ty is expected making the spectacle one of beauty.
 Three judges will be seated on the musicians platform where they will review the marchers and choose the prize winners. Those selected will be presented with a ticket on which will be written their award. This ticket is to be turned over, later, to the prize committee who will hand out the prizes. Each winner is asked to sign their ticket in the space allotted for that purpose.
 Of particular importance is the an nouncement of a special dancing num- Der by a local artist. This will take place just before the grand march. It is said this number, and there may be other special numbers, will be a spectacular surprise.
 Walter Holben, will be master of the punch. His many years of ex- perience in this line has gained him the title of being one of the few men in the country who know that almost vanished art of the proper concocting of fragrant, thirst-quenching fruit punch.
 The music is excellent as is attest ed by the large number of visitors to the hall this past week listening to the orchestra at practice. There are a variety of good snappy numbers and the time is perfect.
 In order that no one lose an oppor- tunity to win one of the many door prizes it is requested that the ticket stubs be saved. The ticket and stub each are numbered and in the general drawing, at a later hour, the cores bonding stub number to the ticket drawn from the box will be awarded a prize.

And that Of course is because
they're in love with love, and there
seems to be a fatal attraction about
the people who have had experience
in making love, and krfow what to

the young people of their own age
seem so. callow land impossible to
them, and there is a lure about hav-
ing older persons in love with them
paying them little attentions, say
ing subtle batteries. And pity comes
in TO the cast, the same sort of pity
the 17-year-old girl felt when in the
novel she has been reading, Lady
Guinevere's mistreated and hand
some husband falls desperately in
love with the milkmaid. pity for
the husband, not Lady Guinevere,
you may be sure.
And added to the general confu-
sion in the heart of seventeen is
usually that fatalistic tendency to
believe anyone's lovemaking, even
when in the back of the mind is the
knowledge that it might be pure
hokum. It's something like counting
daisy petals to test love or counting
the seeds in an apple-you remember

five 1 cast away,"-and on and on.
