Befure the dawn of another day has broken in all likelihood it will be known . whether Warren, G. Harding, Republi- . can, or James G. Cox, Democrat has " been selected to succeed Woodrow Wil- ' son, for it is generally believed that bar- ' ring a miracle none of the other five candidates has a chance. This choice it is estimated wiii be registered by a . record vote of between twenty and thirty . - million persons many of whom are wo- . men who have been enfranchised since the last Presidential election and are . vosing today for the first time. ————— | “EPIGRAMS AND WITTY SAYINGS’'. l e i S o ' - Binks: '‘The modern girl seems a ve- ~ ritable encyclopedia.”’ | Jinks:. '‘Quite so, old man. Only when they wére binding my volume they " quite forgot to sew in the Cookery Sec- tion’’. “*Stillwaters run deep’”’. We may soon expect to he told ‘‘the biind see far. Every woman believes she can cook. And so she can, only——there’s a vast difference between'@ cook and the cook. “*That’s too good to be true’’ is ¢n ex- pression often used. But wouldn’t it be far more consistent to say: ‘‘that’s too _ true to be good?’’ We think so, any- way. 5 ‘‘Agenius is never made, but always born’’ Quite so, quite so. No doubt many of us wish they were never born at alli. "‘Adding fuel to fire’’ is alright in its own way. But what about “setting fire to fuel ?”’- Without the one you can’t very well have the other. When anybody calls you a duck it is high time you took stock of "yourself. You see it may mean anything. "Six of one and half a dozen of the other’’ is only a decent way of not being 80 vuigar as to say: '‘Going the whole hog’’. To man marriage is a wonderful ad- venture—a land of hopes and dreams. To women a gratifying sense of some- thing achieved. And yet very often to both a shattered ideal=just a house of cards. No doubt many of us wonder why such a number of women keep lap dogs. If it’s because they ecan’t find a good enough man to take the place of the dog, then all that one has to do is to use a lit- tle imagination and flavour by adding a touch of common sense. ““The erurse of true love never runs smooth’’. That’s just it! There is always something or the other stirring up trouble at the bottom. LO ST A GOLD STICK PIN- SHAPE OF A MALTESE CROSS WITH A STONE OF AME- THIST SET IN THE CENTER.
