The Waltz Group of Washing i

bers heart-decorated cards which
arrived in the mail yesterday. This
doesn't mean that the trustees OF
the group have suddenly gotten
sentimental about their dancing
colleagues. They just happened
to be sent out at the Valentine
season to notify members that
the last dance Of the series. on
April 27, to be something very
special, will be announced later.
It's safe guess that something
as good as last years bal des

wonder why the big hearts were
put on the cards. I like what
was underneath just as well.

Post

A grandmother comments as
follows: MY grandson brought
several friends home after their
theater party for coffee and
doughnutS. There were three
girls. The hour was near mid
night. My daughter had the
doughnuts in the house. When
she heard them come in she put
on a very nice dressing gown and
went downstairs so she could
greet his friends, particularly to
let them know there was someone
stirring in the house. After max
ing coffee for them she disap-
peared upstairs. My daughters
husband was furious with her;
said she had no business meddling
downstairs. / agree with my
daughter but I don't think 1t will
improve family matters any II
express my own view I'd rather IL
would come from you.
If your daughter had put on
dress (and hope fixed her hair)
her going down to greet the young
people and making them coftee
would have been entirely correct.
| If her husband had criticized her
because she was not properly
dressed, then I agree with him.
Cigarette Digging
Dear Mrs. Post: I'm a young
man struggling through college.
I work several night week IN a
drugstore to earn spending money
so I can have a few weekend
dates. One girl I take out pretty
regularly. She never has any
cigarettes and always asks me TO
buy her pack. I don't smoke and
) she doesn't-much. Don't you
think girls should carry their own
; cigarettes or, at any rate, not
ask a man to buy them?
Answer: think this girl is de-
, finitely unfair! She surely knows
that you have very little money
and that you don't smoke. To ask
you to buy a package of cigarettes
every time you go out Is either
: heartless or lacking in intelli.
gence. I see no help for 1t but
, to show her your change anc
! say frankly, 81 have just enough

Nut Shells
Furnish Clue:
To Burglary

1t might have been several
days before Ed. nj. Stevens. of
$40 Fremont road learned of the
fact that his home had been bur-
glarized. had it not been for a
tell-tale trail of nut shells Upon
which he stepped barefooted in
his home Saturday morning.
Stevens. who works the second
shift at E. o. d. had returned
home shortly before midnight
and prepared for bed. In walk
ing across a room his feet came
in contact with some very sharp
objects. Investigating, he found
that they were walnut shells.
Since Stevens was the only
person home he concluded that
his house had ben entered by an
intruder. Looking around his
room he found that a Masonic
ring, set with a diamond and a
wrist watch we're missing.
Entrance was made, Stevens
deduced, by a pass key used in
the front door, as no window
or door had been forced.
Police are investigating the
strange burglary.
