Schmidt and I had a fine time contrasting the people and costumes of the West and the East, for she Is from Minneapolis. We both liked the congeniality and hospitality of the West but we both decided we would stay In the East. Of course my curiosity, sot the best and I was anxious to know how Mr. Schmidt happened to find his "best girl'' way out there. "Well you see, Mr.

Schmidt went to a school out there to study the baking business and at one of the social functions about the town we met, that was the beginning." said Mrs. Schmidt. We hud a big discussion over the servant 1 rob leni, which concluded by Mrs. Schmidt telling me "that if I don't soon find a girl I'll never be the same." MRS. J.

FRANK SLACK lives next door, 1610 Boas street. I dropped in there. The Pomeroy Fashion Show was talked over from beginning to end, Including what we thought we vere going to like best among new spring fashions.

"We, our Sunday School class, are selling these groceries In order to raise some money and these boxes just arrived thla afternoon." Mrs. Freed tells a funny story. "When Mr. Freed was a boy he said that he and his gang 'borrowed' a mule and drove It into the church vestibule tied it there and ran."
