JUDGE “To Err Is Human; To Forgive, Divine” Uncle Abner was a_foreeful, determined, strong-willed | man. When he said “No!” he meant something or other. But he al- ways was quick to make amends whenever he found he had been in the wrong. One summer there was an un- usually large crop of book agents. After Uncle Abner had filled his library and basement with new volumes he announced, with con- siderable heat, that he was through. He tacked up “Bew: the Dog” and “Yellow Fever” signs, but still the agents came. At last Uncle Abner nailed up a huge sign: “Any Book Agent Ringing This Doorbell Will Be Shot Without Further Notice.” Then he placed a double-bar- reled shotgun across his knees and waited. Soon the bell jan- gled. Uncle Abner jerked the door open, and took aim. Imagine his — embarrassment when he found the man wasn’t a book t, but the personal rep- resentative of one of the oldest publishing houses in America, to whom Uncle Abner had been rec- ommended as a gentleman of unusual culture and refinement who no doubt would be interested in a remarkable set of 36 vol- umes, at a price that would not even cover the cost of printing!

No, we are not a very successful drinker. aa Then there was another brace- let which almost bowled us over. It’s a sort of a brass mesh made into a round chain, And it posi- must have been miles long, se it just wrapped and kept on wrapping until it reached all the way to the elbow. And finally it was all caught together with a huge square of perfectly plain brass. It seems that we have told you about the most perfectly angelic lighter every week for the past six months. But this one is the most divine of them all. It’s a lighter just like any other lighter, but in the side, instead of having a watch, it has a powder compact and a little electric light. All For partially s 1 i i i you do is press a button and the compact opens and the lighter lights! ad One of the G. Fis just stag gered in from Europe. And brought some of the most novel hankies. There is a little lady embroidered in the corner of each one and she is holding a sure enough powder puff. We mean one that can actually be used. Really, they are the most con venient things besides being lutely unique. abso Heard of a new cleansing cream the other day. It turns to liquid when it touches the skin. It seems the reason for this is that it isn’t as hard to wipe the liquid off as it is to wipe the cream off and, therefore, does not enlarge the pores or some such thing.
