A cH FEC AK o CHATTER s

We bought some plants from Mrs. W. J. Erskine who is selling them from her greenhouse for Griffin hospital fund. Looking over the assortment we finally decided the hospital was doing us a favor to offer such wide variety of home plants. So, for getting the altruistic urge which had motivated us at first, we broke down and bought twice as many as we had planned.
 Please do keep your pet dog or dogs either in the house or chained up after blackout hours. We women may prove our cour- age when real battle comes, but we're darned sisses when we hear ominous growls coming from some unseen dog while we're walking home in the dark.
 We'll probably be fired for this one, but our best laugh of the week came through 8 prominent Kodiak matron. Stopping at the Mirror one afternoon, after hav- ing been out of touch with things for awhile, she took one look at Editor Lamme and said, "Oh, I see you must be on your way to get a shave, so 1 won't detain you.'
