Hiya Neighbor-We took time
out to count the number of days
until Christmas and, believe it or
not, there are just so left before
the all-important day rolls around.
D;scounting the Sundays and two
Forthcoming holidays, that leaves
exactly al shopping days in which
to decide what to give who, buy
it and get it done up in holly
paper and ribbon and placed under
the Christmas tree. Do you think
you can make it in that time +?
. Does that four sided box af-
fair we see over the streetlight
on Madison street, in the vicinity
of Pitman's store, have anything
to do with the Christmas lighting
that's to decorate our downtown
section this year? If so, we like

Nl generation had used brains, maybe
we wouldn't be in this mess now"
Abby Daley held on to her smile. To the
best of her knowledge, her fifteen-year-old
daughter never allowed herself to be exposed
to news headline Yet, just as she was on
everything else, she was an expert on world
affairs.
Maybe so. Only what has that to do with
Sylvia Ingels?"
Liz shrugged and dumped handful of
records off her lap. She was wearing blue
jeans rolled slightly below the calf of her long
legs and gold sandals on her bare feet. When
she stood up, Abby quickly sat down.

For a moment, Abby wanted to lean over
and smack him. Then she remembered that
he had his troubles, too. He was head OF the
English department at the over-crowded,

problems.

Marriage is a sacred contract and
should not be entered into so light
ly. If she holds other peoples hap
piness so ightly-her husband and
her little boy must certainly have
suffered because of her selfish con-
Germ for her own desires-I don't
know what consideration she can
expect from others.
But that's water over the dam,
as the old saying goes, and her hus-
band is happily married again.
Her second bad mistake was in
letting her lover hold her so cheap

and children when he can have
them and her too? Half the men
who promise to divorce their wives
for other women have no intention
of doing so. The women who breaks

BEAUTY
please tell US girls how to be
beautiful" writes young seeker
after pulchritude.
We all love beauty; if we do not,
there is something vitality wrong
with us. God has filled the world
with loveliness, just to make US
happy. All nature speaks to us Ian
guage so beautiful that sometimes
it amounts almost to pain.
The delicious radiance of the sun
shine, the song of the bird in the
rain, though so very different, finds
an answering chord in the human
heart. The sunshine brings life
abundantly, while the. caroling of
the brave little songster, on a cold
wet day, bespeaks such faith and
contentment, that it makes US
ashamed to murmur at our lot and
helps US to be more trustful to our
Heavenly Father, who has provided
for the wants, even of His little
children of the air.
We also love beauty that is spir-
jtual, mental and physical. Some
how when we see a woman with a
beautiful face, we are greatly dis
appointed if she reveals stupid
mind, or a shallow selfish soul.
1t is a JOY to find combination
of graces; but in these articles we
shall endeavor to help our lady
readers to make the most of the
physical attractions that nature has
given them, Or to improve the de-
fects that mar their good looks and
detract from their happiness.

Girls, remember it is much easier to
keep your good looks by rational
methods of living, than it is to re-

For example, if your teeth are ne

after care can repair the ravages.
You'll probably be using artificial
