Story of Damon and Pythias
Damon and PythiaS were citizens
Of Syracuse and were great friends.
Pythias was arrested and con-
demned to death by the tyrant
Dionysius the Younger, but OBJ
tanned permission first to 60 to his
home to spend several days In ar
ranging his affairs, on condition
that his friend Damon would agree
to remain as hostage and to suffer
the penalty should Pythias fail to
return. Pythias did not return at
the time appointed, and Damon
presented himself for execution,
but expressed his unfailing belief
that his friend had been unayoid-
ably detained and would appear II
humanity possible. The spectators,
who pdtied his credulity, proceeded
to the place Of execution. Pythias,
having been detained, arrived on
the scene and rushed through the
crowd to take the place Of Damon,
who refused to give It up. Each
determined to die for the other.
The tyrant, himself present, struck
with so great a friendship, par
doned both and begged to make the
third In such q loyal alliance.

TIGER Uses Businsss Partner

The tiger Is the fercest OF all an
Imals and the enemy Of pretty well
every other creature In the jungle.
But there Is one animal with which
a tiger often keeps on good terms
the jackal, says PearsOn's Weekly.
When a tiger grows old and Ia not
as quick and keen-sighted as he
was, he comes to a sort Of business
arrangement with q jackal. The
jackal seeks out the prey and leads
the tiger to 1t. Then the tiger does
the fighting and, after having q
good meal. the jackal takes what
Is left.

bridesmaid at q friends wedding,

1 have been planning to wear with
red shoes ard a red sash. After
speaking with a few Of my friends,
they tell me that a bridesmaid Is
not supposed to wear white.
CAS- / do not feel that I can 20
to the expense of buying a new
gown, would it be appropriate for
me to wear the white outfit with
colOred accessories as described?
"F."
No one but the bride would have
the right to answer the question
as to what a bridesmaid at her
wedding should wear. 1t is the
bride who decides this, and she
should have, and undoubtedly will
have, definite ideas about what
she wants her attendants to wear,
and whether or not she wishes
them to wear white. So you must
consult with her about your dress,
plans.
