Attractive and pleasingly varied numbers were giv- en by Mr. Malcolm and Mr. Wadding- ton, but, of course, the principal in- terest of the concert for Stratford was in the appearance of Mrs. Whitehead whose charming person- ality has if anything increased rath- er than diminished. * * * Once upon a time there was a cynic who said that. one should not believe anything you hear and only about half of what you see. There is a young newspaperman in this town, who today, would move to amend that saying to make it read "and nothing that you see either." It's a sad tale and involves a moral, an old one, "that a guilty conscience makes cowards of us all." It seems. that this young chap was with several of a party the other night and while he claims that it was a very mild and innocent party, nevertheless,--well you can draw your own conclusions.

THE MIRROR An Old-Time Spelling Match And Its Unexpected Denouement "The art of spelling seems to have 'tbeen lost amOng newspaper printers in these days of speed and more speed," observed the old proofreader as he surveyed his last galley of the night. "Typesetting machines are to blame. The young fellow who can 'hang the elevator' all night long, re- gardless of spelling, is riding on the crest nowadays. Look at this proof. Half a dozen words spelled wrong. Such simple ones, too, as weird, weild, raucous and fatuous. But the schools are not what they used to be, either. In my days we were ground- ed in three R's to the tune of a hickory stick, as the song goes. Each class had spelling exercises every day, with a spelling match Friday afternoon. Then at the end of the scholastic year the champion of each township was chosen to contest in a great county. spelling bee. Prizes were given and there was as much interest manifested as there is in a football game nowadays. "Times certainly have changed," mused the old man. "If you folks are in no hurry to get out of the shop 1'll tell you a little story in this con- nection, It all happened back in a country cross-roads schoolhouse fifty years ago." "Shoot, Dad," chiwped up the flip- pant blonde copyholder. "I smell a romance. But don't make me cry. It upsets my digestion and makes my nose red." And this is the tale that Dad Hawk- ins told us: "The honor of representing our school in the township contest lay between myself and a skinny snip of a girl named Lizzie Bates. She was a wild little thing, with the blackest eyes andthe blackest hair I have ever seen on a human. being. But, Lord, how she could spell! And how we hated each other! We never met that she didn't stick out her tongue at me, and I'd shake my fist at her and throw rocks at her dog. We were just 12 years of age. "Rinally came the big night and the schoolroom was jammed to the doors, our proud parents present, of course. Teacher gave out the words one by one the Others missed and sat down unt! only we two were left standing. We droned along for several minutes and the excitement was intense, A pin dropping on the floor would have made a noise like a rifle crack, Sud- denly I turned and looked at Lizzie and saw that she was trembling and that her black eyes were shooting fire. Instantly something surged up inside me that I had never felt "be- fore. I didn't hate Lizzie Bates any longer. I wanted her to win. God, how I wanted her to win! Bart ae repair them.

Very slowly and care- fully I spelled it c-o-u-r-eg-e. The audience held its collective breath as the teacher said 'Next!' Meantime I appear unconcerned, "'C.9-u-r--' Lizzie began. Then she paused, and turned and looked at me. Her mouth was half open and there was a puzzled look in her eyes. But I stared straight ahead, shuffling around on: one foot. "Yes yes,' said the teacher. 'Go ahead.' "'7.G-E!' Lizzie screamed as_ she rushed sobbing to her father. There were tears in his eyes too as he took her in hig arms and patted her head. My mother gave me a look and hug that I never will forget, and the audi- ence laughed and applauded until it got tired and went home." "Durn you, Dad," sniffled the blonde copyholder. "I told you not to make me ery. I suppose you married Liz- zie and lived happily ever after?" "Naw," Dad replied. "Never saw her again. Her father was a Metho- shortly afterward.
