"When He Was at College"
a man said today, "the boys used to glory in a tale
left by the class ahead of us, that Professor
fell out of the window before he got any sense
into his head."
It is certainly true that many of us have to
, get some hard knocks before we get far, and the
pifact is that the nations overseas who made war
upon America had to be thrown out of their war
making windows and to get some sense knocked
into their heads, and are now being made to take
the costly consequences of their own misguided
blindness, treachery, pride and jealousy.
Most assuredly the world destroyers cannot
expect to escape the responsibility for what they
have done.
The shock necessary to wake them from their
bad dream is not of our own desire or seeking, but
the result of their own unwisdom.
Signed
Dec. 10, 191S.
IF there is a woman anywhere
who does not love the beauty and softness and
comfort of furs, we should just like to see her!
. As a rule furs are one of the safest choices St. Nich
olas can make for young or old, grave or gay; the
only requisite being that the recipient goes out of
doors often enough to wear them.
Every fur that comes into our -Fur' Salon is
inspected to make sure of its right to be here, and
qvery f ui' is marked with its true name.
And there are not only hosts of the small funs
of an inexpensive kind such as beayer and wolf,
nutria and squirrel, but splendid pieces- of mink,
fisher and sable fit for a princess.
