Now in my last I roport. i was honrst in saying Bill was dead. Ho has come to Uhilh life all at once, since being report- |"ySrt. cd dead. You know Bill has a perfnt rival and is thinking of getting p.Hw married soon and ho knew it would not do for him to remain ,e^jf silent, for fear his girl would think that Optimus reported things correctly anil the rival would got the I V advantage as dead mon are to ho "~~ avoided. From Bill's news items I ho is very much alive in watching and reporting the happenings of the time.

The young people ot the Kp- \ \y( worth League had a social gather- Jewel iug a the residence of Mr and I Mrs .1 M Yoder last Friday night. I A Optimus would have been glad j to have been present, but he is I not classed as one of the young | people, and had no special invitation to be on hand, so it was thought best not to let him know much about this meeting for fear he might write up some of the dudes and dudines. My account of this gathering will have to be quite meager. From what I can learn the Lenfim hnd n nlnnannt ?0.._ ...... .. I--"- j and profitable meeting. The host and more especially, the hostess, did much to make the young people enjoy thsmselvos. Optimusj got a glance at some <?f the dudes, j and was particularly struck at the Vtfgjn artistic way in which they had JE y their hair parted in the middle! fi and curled over their temples in ft ringlets, and the nicety of their J cigarette putfs as they chatted to j , the dudines, who were all smiles I ij in ribbons rutiles and frizzled hair. urf Nature has done much for these hut they are about to ruin the ^ handiwork of the Creator by arti-1 fieial means. | We noted Saturday and Sunday I Messrs Sam Kell, Jr., John Hailes, and John Hall driving KnKini around accompanied by some of I'eed our fair young friends who can tell what these visits mean better than Opti.mus cao.
