Like Train kissing Depot

When the two lines rushed at
each other it was light a freight
train kissing a depot. You could
hear the crash from the rock
bound shores of Maine to far
u prettier places. The score, %
to II, sounds like the IittIe.pOta-
tOeS-hard-tO-peel had mel the
lumber yard skulI-buSters, who
decided to rash them instead.
It was backwoods vendetta
in the high rent district. The
two teams both benefited by
the contest. With the winners
getting a hundred dollars extra
per man. It was this extra bit
of muscular bribery that made
the lads go to town like a wolf
in a famine.
The result was the boys were
as earnest as a sneak thief in a
lock and key store. And as
tough as veal Dreaded in marble
dust.
They went at each other like
dogs meeting each other in a
sausage machine. And mixed
like the stuff they put into a
martini.

Rural highways over Vance county

said prisoners here were being used
to repair such damages as had &C.
Cured as rapidly as possible.
Most of the loss sustained has been
in the washing of roads in places
T1e said no bridges had been carried
away as the result of high water in

repaired if there were any lengthy

DEITY will no doubt get a
~ cheap variety of soft coal.
It has a much lower heat value
and therefore she will have to
use so much more to get the re-
quired volume of heat, that she
will spend as much or more for
this coal than for a better grade
before the winter is over. It
burns quickly at first firing and
will throw off excessive smoke
unless special precautions are
taken. Betty may have extra
charges on her bill for delivery
and storage unless she has
checked to the contrary.

The eyebrows are the frames
and must be clear, defined and
cleaning against your smooth
skin. We no longer accent the
frames and you will be def in
the coloring and avoid the firm
defined line, but paint light
hair like strokes with the well
sharpened pencil point.
A touch Of eyelash grower
will assure the glamor to the
arch and a suggestion of oil on
the lids makes them youthful
in their softnesS.
EyeShadow is the rule for
everyone who will apply it with
restraint. Small eyes are made
interesting with the shadow
blended almost to the eyebrows.
Always keep the rim Of the
lids dark. This is done by a
pencil that will easily trace the
line at the roots of the lashes.
Miss Neff reminds us to keep
the shadow well within the outer
tip Of the browS when they are
set far apart, but for the close
set brows it may be blended out
toward the temples. =

DENNY has previously called
L coal dealers for prices and
studied the relative values of the
various types on the market be-
fore she places her order. She
orders semi-bituminous because
it is low in moisture, ash and
sulphur; has a high calorific
value. She asks for dustlesS
coal. This has been treated
with oil or calcium chloride.
This treatment usually in
creases the cost from 10c to SC

She went to a lot of private
schools, and two days after she
finished learning about business
at the Washington School for
Secretaries, she was called by
the Willard. She was assistant
to the secretary to Frank Hight,
first manager Of the Willard.
Six months later the secretary
went away and never came back,
and Miss Ward was secretary.
Small Visitor
Cr0Ued TOrr-T0nl
Nine years later. she still is
coping with problems of
employees, guests, employers and
more guests. One of these
guests, a few years ago, brought
a small boy with him on a visit
to Washington. The small boy
saw an Indian on the streets,
selling tom-toms. When he got
back to the hotel, he told his
father, and father set out to look
for the Indian to buy his son q
tom-tom. He couldn't find the
Indian, and anyway, they had
to catch a train.
So when he got home, he
called the hotel and said, would
they please find the Indian and
buy his little boy a tom-tom?
But by this time the Indian had
completely vanished from the
streets of Washington, and not
a soul in town had a tom-tom.
Boy Got 1t
Via Chicago
Miss Ward found a guest
who lived in Chicago, asked
him to visit the World Fair
when he got home and get
a tom-tom for her. So the little
boy got his tom-tom from Wash
mgton by way of Chicago. You,
can see from this how things
go for a person who decides to
be a secretary to the manager
of a hotel.
She loves sports and goes to
everything - football, boxing,
baseball, basketball. She missed
the Army-Navy game Saturday,
but she doesn't make a practice
of it.
She's married, to an attorney
in the General Accounting Of

I don't. I don't believe women

band thought it would be fun
If she cooked, for a week, until
they could find one. She says
it wasn't.
