of the I League Summer Sommer School Woe to the I i woman student who seeks to make a per aper personal hero as well as an instructor of Mr John Carlson He will teach the feminine fem fern mine pilgrim to the Woodstock shrine how to paint if she will m but he refuses absolutely ab ab- to be the centre of a n. cult Then ahen theres there's Mr Chichester Only last summer one of the favorite

worthwhile worthwhile while it was best perhaps to give it allup all allup allup up now once and for nil all and go to work in a city office a mere business man This was the signal which brought the

like the windmills windmills wind wind- mills of Holland That is what they call running over to get some Dutch stuff It is easy to understand when one looks around Woodstock why the horses of th the
