Our daughter, a co-ed who gets her sbeep-hido next week, fetched a bunch of her co-ed (girl) friends home with her laat week-end to spend that end with her and w.

Each of these girls had sweethearts that trailed them to our house The week-end gue*t* arrived at 5:35 p. m., but the boy? didn't show up j until nearly 6:30 .p. m., and wb?n I say those iboya _ were. doUed up, I mean dolled up. They wore collar* ami coats and other clothes of course, but I've been so used to seeing young men in their shirt-sleeves, minus collars, socks ansoforth, 1 was surprised..; Three of them wore hats and that's something to talk about. . .Our daughter had some mighty good food prepared for her friends and 1 ate so much of it, I got sorter ' sick.

Those girls were painting each other's lips and pasting down each others eyebrows, dabbing eye-lei- with rouge, squirting on pei fume, combing hair and ' curling bang-, no-pping un talcum and ' otherwise adding prettiness. Me and my folks enjoyed their visit and I hope they did too. TIIEKE OKIHT TO BE A LAW My family jig-sawed on a -t>0-hour' per week -^ hed'ule until every style I of jig-saw puzzle known to 10-cent stores was worked. We had every1 thing in jig-sa-ws from "Washington | Cutting Down the Cherry Tree" to "Little Bo-Peep Has Lost Her Sheep." ..Everything went along pretty at our house until my wife commenced to patronize the jig-saw puzzle exchange and that's when the trouble started. She traded in her puzzles almost daily and gave 5-cents to boot. About every other puzzle secured at the exchange was shy 2 or 3 pieces and that is what ran her nearly floo-ey. ..She (meaning my wife) lost 3 pounds on one jig-saw puzzle and at least a dozen grey ha ins showed up on her head. Thnw particular puzzle was entitled: "tehejt Khtgbtbpi>d Was in Flower," but tne piece with th^e knight's head and the horses' tail were never found, nor were they even missed until she had worked on the thing 4 da>'3 and 5 nights. ..I felt sorry for my folks during the jig-saw craze. When I came to lunch every day, the entire flock was sweating and straining over a puzzle. When I came back to dinner (sirpper, of course) they were etill working" hard and when I retired (went to bed. of course) I left them groaning under the mental burden of -erne new puzzle. I tried one "f the fool things my,elf. It was "The Man With The } l.
