ETIQUETTE DEPARTMENT

PATIENT SUFFERER:--What will I do when a young man steals a lock of my
hair? Ans.:--Grow some more.

No, F-l-x, a little caterpillar is not called a kittenpillar. (FELIX,
ENRAGED: "I never asked that! Dan just makes that etiquette column
up from beginning to end!" FELICITY: "I don't see what that kind of a
question has to do with etiquette anyhow.")

Yes, P-t-r, it is quite proper to treat a lady friend to ice cream twice
if you can afford it.

No, F-l-c-t-y, it is not ladylike to chew tobacco. Better stick to
spruce gum.

FASHION NOTES

Frilled muslin aprons will be much worn this summer. It is no longer
fashionable to trim them with knitted lace. One pocket is considered
smart.

Clam-shells are fashionable keepsakes. You write your name and the date
inside one and your friend writes hers in the other and you exchange.

FUNNY PARAGRAPHS

MR. PERKINS:--"Peter, name the large islands of the world."

PETER:--"The Island, the British Isles and Australia." (PETER,
DEFIANTLY: "Well, Mr. Perkins said he guessed I was right, so you
needn't laugh.")

This is a true joke and really happened. It's about Mr. Samuel Clask
again. He was once leading a prayer meeting and he looked through the
window and saw the constable driving up and guessed he was after him
because he was always in debt. So in a great hurry he called on Brother
Casey to lead in prayer and while Brother Casey was praying with his
eyes shut and everybody else had their heads bowed Mr. Clask got out of
the window and got away before the constable got in because he didn't
like to come in till the prayer was finished.

Uncle Roger says it was a smart trick on Mr. Clask's part, but I don't
think there was much religion about it.

CHAPTER XXI. PEG BOWEN COMES TO CHURCH

When those of us who are still left of that band of children who played
long years ago in the old orchard and walked the golden road together
in joyous companionship, foregather now and again in our busy lives and
talk over the events of those many merry moons--there are some of our
adventures that gleam out more vividly in memory than the oth
