Show I w I H n (HA I I h R Ri IX w B PTBR all, per- haps a great !' many' things that I have been said Hi 111 about a certain M I pjmuKaml member of socle- H ty are not true In H the least. Of course there must have H been some fire to start such, a volume H of smoke but several things have m come to pass recently that rather shed B a different light upon circumstances. M It seems not unlike the old, old story of the two sisters, one so pious, so M righteous that the community was H ever ready to set up a little shrine H in honor of her many virtues. While fl the other was a veritable black sheep M in the flock, inky black in comparison H with her sister's many graces; and M the family were so sorely tried with H her many shortcomings, that they H were sorry she bore the family name M ' of Smith and gladly would have of- H fered young Brown a nice bank ac- H count to take Susie off their hands. H Then something unexpected happened H and they found that after all Susie H was right, while priggish, pious Polly H fell from her pedestal with a mighty H crash. Locally we have just the same H condition and the dear old Tabbies H have worn themselves to a bunch of Hw fiddle strings talking about the short- H comings of Polly and extolling Sister H Susie to the high heavens. Well, be H that as It may, Sister S. has not been H so active in certain church circles or M been a star member of so many D charity boards, nor director of quite as M many Institutions as sister, but there M are many less fortunate in this world's m goods than Sue who are ever ready i to chant her praise and it may be that underneath her devil-may-care spirit of M bravado there is more real charity m than in all the membership cards that WM sister holds. IN one of the most exclusive residen- tial sections of the city an artistic bungalow is nestled among the shade H of many old trees that for years have H been famed for their delicious fruits M that the thrifty housewife has patriot- H Ically placed on the pantry shelves for H use in winter days to come. There H are many good things both to eat and H to look upon in this little home, and H not the least is a pair of cunning kid- H dies who are at the very patriotic age H when toy guns point daily toward the H Hindenburg line and regiments of H broom stick horses aid the brave Al- H lies as they drive toward Berlin. The H mother and daddy have impressed the H little ones that when the "Star- Hf Spangled Banner" is played they must H always stand at attention, as all good B soldiers' do and stop work or play H while the band plays the inspiring H strains of the nation's anthem. A few H nights ago the little fellows were ready H for bed and the evening prayers were in order before mother tucked them up for the night. The small white-robed white-robed figures knelt side by side in front of a window seat. Suddenly down the avenue came a band and the strains of the American anthem were wafted on the evening breeze. In an instant up jumped little Jack and with an insistent foot kicked his .younger brother in a plump portion of his anatomy ana-tomy as he said: "Don't you hear, it's 'Star-Spangled Banner!' Get up, kid, and finish your prayers after the band goes by!" ONE of the most delightful social affairs of the week was the tea given by Mrs. Fred C. Dern on Tuesday Tues-day afternoon at her home in Federal Heights in honor of her coursin, Mrs. Robert H. Allen, who is a guest at the Samuel Mclntyre home, and Mrs. William Wil-liam H.
