and it started crying just as
the orchestra began to play.

SHOWER HONORS
MRS. A. S. HAWKINS

The Y. W. A. girls of the
Slater Baptist Church met Fri-
day night, May 16, at the home
of Mrs. Stanley Hawkins.

During the evening plans
were discussed for an outing
to be held at Table Rock State
Park.

Following the program, the
girls surprised Mrs. Hawkins
with a handkerchief shower,
after which refreshments were
served.

Those attending this meeting
were: Misses Ruth Campbell,
Jorene Vickers, Shirley Scarce,
Joan Barrett, Mary Dodson,
Marion Brown, Blondine Voy-
les, Mildred Farthing and El-
len Huffman.

''Stop those fiddles and let
the baby cry,'' called a man in
the pit. ''I haven't heard such a
sound in ten years!''

The audience applauded the
sentiment wildly, the orchestra
was stopped, and the baby con-
tinued its performance amid un-
bounded enthusiasm.

Readers of the Wyanet (Illi-
nois) Record got a jolt recent-
ly when it appeared with one
page blank save for an apolo-
getic statement in small type:
''Don't laugh. We had a hell-
uva time filling the other three
pages.''

''No, no, no,'' exclaimed Gio-
vanni Martinelli, the opera
star. ''The pipe, the cigar, the
cigarettes!''

Reporters who had come to
interview the famous singer
hastily extinguished the three
evils, when he explained that
the smoke made his throat sore.

''But didn't you endorse a
cigarette once?'' asked a report-
er.

''Si, si,'' admitted the smiling
tenor. ''But remember what I
said. I said, ''These cigarettes
never make my throat sore,'
and that is true. They never
do.''

''Because,'' a reporter sug-

Bobby Traps Set
For Men In June

One thing the twentieth cen-
tury has yet to warn men a-
bout is the dangers of the
month of June. June is the
month of brides.

That means open season on
males of the human species.
Any man with half an eye can
see the writing on the wall.
True the camouflage is thick
with wedding gown, diamond
ring, flowers and furniture ads.
But a man with his eye to the
future will see through it all.

It adds up to brides, mar-
riages, a lifetime of—well, just
listen to the men who've al-
ready fallen.

Just ignore the temperature,
flower smells, blue skies and
love lyrics of the latest songs.
Put yourself in the place of
those pheasants you and your
friends surround each season.
Haven't got a chance, have
they? Well, take a good look
in the mirror.

What can the male do about
it? Well, he can fight a delay-
ing action—for awhile. But he
will soon find he has few
friends. His married pals will
collaborate because misery loves
company.

The proposed father and
mother-in-law will add to the
booby traps. His own parents
will begin to see visions of
grandchildren. Everybody will
say, ''It's time you settled
down. Nothing like it.'' Every-
where he turns, the male is sur-
rounded.

June leaves the male two
choices: To hold out as long as
possible or to go under fast
and gracefully. Anyway you
look at it, June is the month of
brides.

Just look at the magazines!

gested, ''you never smoke
them?''

''Si, si,'' laughed Martinelli.
''I never smoke them. I never
smoked anything in my life.''

Stick Like A Stamp

There was a little postage stamp
No bigger than your thumb,
But still it stuck right on the job
Until its work was done.

They licked it and they pounded it
'Til it would make you sick,
But the more it took a licking,
Why, the tighter it would stick.

So friends, let's be like the postage stamp
In playing life's rough game,
And just keep on a sticking,
Though we hide out heads in shame.

For the stamp stuck to the letter
'Til it saw it safely through;
There's no one could do better,
Let's keep sticking and be true.
—Unknown.
