MANDY: "Mr. Clerk, I'so looking for a pair of nice Sunday sHooh. .^kiu come Wid me, Liza, 'cause you knows more about what de styles is dun I does, as you stayed up in Filly-Deify so long. 'Course, I can't bo foolod myself, but you can hepp me out. What I needs is a slipper, but I shore don't want nono of dont that h is made out of strings and straps wid" the foots a-showing all de time, and when you has a hole in yo stocking, you simply haster stay at home ef you wear dem kind of slippers. Mr. Man, please let""me see a pair of oxfords slippers wid a silver buckle in a size. .. .lemme see. . . .wasn't for my feet, 1 could wear a -wide 7, but you better show me a wide 9." CLERK: "Sit down. Try this one on." MANDY: "Why white man, dat ain't no grown folks slipper: dat s a sho-nulF chile's shoe. You shorely is mistaken ef you call** dat a large 0, it feels more like a small 0. I haster stand on -my feet so much, I specks you better lemme see a 10, but I know a 10 is too big, 'but I jes want to tfy it on so's you can see dat mel/be a long 0 will fit me better. Ouch, you quit dat squeezing my little toe. Ef dat's a 10, it looks like I better try to wear my old ones. l>is is-a funny town: Ef I was in Atlanta, I betcha I could find a narrow 7 dat would 'be plenty big for my feet. Liza, how come you don't tell de man de kind of shoe 1 wears? LIZA; "Mister, please get Mandy de biggest shoe you all is got in dis store: Mandy can't wear none of dese here dubble A's anil dubble E's. What she needs is a dubble .) or K. I knows Mamly's feet all right, and dey needs cow-hides and when I says cow-hides, I means cow-hides, not caff-hides. Now, detn looks mo like it." MANDY: "Mr. Clerk, befo' I tries dem shoes on, what is day worth and how much is de down payment?" CLERK: "Three dollars, spot cash." MANDY: "Dat's too high to pay for shoes enduring dis repression, 'but I will let you try dem on. I has corns, and my bunions never did get well, and wasn't for dem, I feels sure dat I could wear a short 6, but corns forces me up into de high num/bers. "My mommer's feet is larger dan mine is, and when I takes a new pair of shoes home, I generally lets her break dem for me. Hold on, mister. It ain't no use to be trying to get dem baby shoes on my feet. I might as well go to some other store where dey keeps all sizes. 'Sides dat, I ain't goner pay mor'n $1.79 for no slipper as skace as ready money is. CLERK: "lad me show you a pair of bed-room slippers: maybe they will fill the bill." MANDY: "Who you think goner wear bed-room slippers in de parlor? Mister, I wants dose slippers to walk in and not to sleep in.

Gimme my powder puf, anil is you got my hanker-cher ? Yes, dat's it. Trading in stores is shore hard on a person dese days, and 'sides dat, dey don't carry nothing that fits nobody." WHAT IF IT IS? ..Times, customs, conditions and people have changed considerably during the past .**0 years. I can remember when a young fellow was -practically disgraced for life if his shirttail was out in public, ami a guy that would go around with ladies with his collar unbuttoned was considered almost indecent in his dress. In other words, he was not only common, he was tacky. VhVt;c- have caused the change _ir. t '.ing-.

Second, he opcr.s up his shirt collar and hangs a iou-e collar around his neck. Thi-d, he pulls his shirt-tail out of his britches in or 1 visible places. Fourth, he rolls up his sleeves a few notches. Fifth, he permits his socks (if he hapj>en.? to wear any at all) to hang down over his shoes. Sixth, he hasn't got a cent in his pocket. Seventh, he has a cigarette ir. his mouth that he bummed. ..If a boy runs through the streets with nothing on but a pair of BVD's, and is followed by a girl dressed in simiia- manner, they are doing a i 1 Bachelor, 76, Has Aided 47 Children . Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 6.?-A 76year-old bachelor who has raised 47 children, .sjglunl meditatively today as he recalled, "they nearly all turned out fine.1' ^ // Too busy, years a'ko,v paying off ! the mortgage on his farhv, to marry, Eve holt Reese never haife any children "of his own," but always found there were plenty of others in needof the capable care he was able to provide. They came to Reese's farm near Shandon, Ohio, from many places, some from the country children's home, several from the juvenile court, and even a few from the county jail. For 25 years there was hardly a time that one or more children wasn't calling him- "dad." Some of them were cherubs, some were imps. Some were boys, and some girls. Some would work on the farm, and some wouldn't. Some of them stole rims and tires from his trucks; others helped find the parts and put them back again. But?v "I never turned down any the officials wanted me to take," Reese saitl. "1 took them all and did the best I could." His best was n home, food and clothing; j>ay for those who would work so they could start bank accounts of their own; and high school education for all who wanted it. It all started when he, delivering milk to the children's home, became interested in some of the youngsters there. Years before, Reese had thought of marriage, But "1 was too busy paying off the mortgage and tin* lady wouldn't wait," he said. Met With Mrs. McCoy On last Thursday the Mt. Zion home demonstration dub held an all day meeting at the home of Mrs. J. B. McCoy with thirty-two women present.

Thin dresses came into being along with pretty underwear, and pretty underwear is still being manufactured, and so are thin dresses. Barelegs were frowned at when they first appeared, but today, barelegs are as pretty and cute as legs with stockings around them. I am very well pleased, thank you, with things just as they are. so this ain't no kick against modem practices and habits.

In Memoriam Inasmuch as it has pleased our Heavenly Father to call into life eternal Margaret Jordan Carrison, a devoted member of the I>aughters of the American Revolution, and inasmuch as the Hobkirk Hill Chapter feels deeply t^e loss that it has sustained in her death, be it Resolved, that a page in their minute book be inscribed to her memory, and copies of these resolutions be printed in the local papers and sent to her bereaved family.
