Lee, Managing Director ‘The Cenker a Convenience at 34" Street Holt MA in Saying It with Flowers For the first few months after they are married he sends her flowers “just as he did before.” Then he discovers potted plants and buys her those because “they last longer.” Later they buy a home and she raises her own flowers, and conversations like this are common: Sue: Can I send for fifty Dutch tulip bulbs? He: Wouldn't twenty-five be plenty? Seems to me we have enough flowers already. D. HH. Cuaptin’s new picture, we hear, was filmed "way up near the Arctic regions. Possibly so that he could throw a genuine Eskimo pie. People Who Should Not Be Allowed on Trains Fonp fathers who carry pictures of their offspring sitting in their bath- tubs, People who borrow your magazine to hold over Toto’s basket every time the conductor comes along. Charming young men who insist on talking to you. Charming young women who insist on not talking to you. Nice old ladics who ask you three minutes after the train has started whether they are on the right train, and then every twenty minutes thei after whether you are positive thi the right train, why you are positive, whether you haven't ever made a mis- take in a similar situation, and what you think Joe will think if they should arrive as expected, Children who get all smeared up with chocolate and then identify you as dad-da. Three-hundred-pound male _ bipeds with handkerchiefs in their collar bands who go for water between every sta- tion, always arriving at your chair just as the train lurch es round the sharpest bend in the nity. Young married couples who rest their heads on each other's shoulders when the nearest shoulder you dare rest your head on is two hundred and cighty miles away. B.B, Tue man who visits a blind pig usu- ally ends up by seeing things. _|for a NAME NE of our clients manufactures full fash- | ioned hosiery for women. We want a name for this fine hosiery, and will pay $25 for the winning name. The name must convey but one idea, i.e., that this hosiery wears well. For example, “Ever- wear,” ‘“‘Resisto,” ‘Iron-clad” are hosiery names which convey the impression that the hosiery will stand hard wear. This is what we want our name to do, but we would like it to be more delicate and refined because this is fine feminine hosiery. Also the short names will be given preference. Contest Closes Sept. 18, 1924 Each contestant may send 4 as many names as he wishes. Write them plainly. In case two or more contestants send in the winning name, each will receive $25.
