A SUMNER romance is like
heat-lghtning nobody takes il
very seriously; it's all over be-
fore you know il, and it seldom
does any damage.
One of our most beautiful di-
vorcees has Just walked TO the
altar for her fifth romance.
Funny, but the oftener a woman
has been disappointed in love the
less cynical she seems 10 be-
come about men and marriage.
NOT UNTIL a bridegroom
begins TO tell his bride all about
his romantic past does he realize
how little Of II was romance and
how much of it was imagination,
adventure or plain bunk.
These new fancy hats with all
their bright bands. which the
men are wearing, are the only
gay note in a world of gloom
but most Of them are vivid and
startling enough TO make a rain
bow for the war clouds.

Have a big platter OF green
corn. a few sliced tomatoes,
bread and butter and there's
your meal .. only don't forget
d pot of GOOD coffee.
For dessert well. surely
you baked a cake before you
left. The best kind for travel

Fishin' Supplies
Take along a few cans Of
baked beans and some brown
bread 4. . a slab of bacon and
