'Pile fact that Miss Lillian Dickson is soon to be the first lady of the land does not seem to have changed that young lady's attitude to her town friends in the least.

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN Kathryn Davis PURSUED BY THE GIRLS Dear Miss Davis: I would like to ask you advice about how to got rid of the girls. They’re always phoning me and making eyes at me in school. 'Flie more I ignore them the worse they are. They all call me I fandsome ” and bother me a great deal. Hon Vernon Why not joke a little with them. Hob? At least they will then see that they’re not fussing you to death. INDIFFERENT Dear Miss Davis: I have liked a certain boy for a long time and he seemed to like me very much until just late- ly. He is so indifferent to me and it hurts because 1 don’t know why he should be that way. He always used to take me riding in his plane and treated me so nicely. Katherine Snapp Try a little indifference yourself. Katherine. If that doesn’t work, don’t worry, for someone else with just as interesting a plane will be around soon. FATHER INTERFERES Dear Miss Davis: I would like to go out with a certain young fellow very much but my father forbids me. He is a perfect gentleman and is so nice. How can I persuade father to allow me his com- pany? Mary Jane Geeting Fathers generally know best, girlie. Perhaps he knows something about the young man that you are un- aware of. Indeed, you very likely can be thankful to him some day. Eat at the Waple Sisters PINK SHOP Meals at all hours. V. and R. Waples, Props.

GIRL FLEES HOME FATHER PURSUED Last night a great commo- tion was heard about eleven thirty in the town in front of Mr. George Bunge’s Jus- tice of Peace Office. Every one was curious to know what the excitement was. This morning it was heard that last night, while the family slept. Jeanette Wells crept out her window onto the roof down a ladder to meet her lover below. Shall we men- tion his name? Well, it is Robert Knoblauch, promi- nent Junk dealer in town. But Miss Wells was mistaken when she reckoned that her father would be snoring peacefully and her mother dead to the world of care and toil. For no sooner had the girl entered her hero’s Ford aeroplane than they were peppered by her father’s pet machine gun. However they reached Mr. Bunge's office in safety, where they were united in holy matrimony. When the irate father arrived Mr. Bunge stroked his beard which has been gray over since he was editor-in-chief of the “Cauldron” and in hollow tones said,'' Peace be unto you!” The father was completely overcome by such a beautiful expression, and give his blessing to the chil- dren who after kisses and handshakes of gratitude sailed away in their plane for a trip across the Downers Grove lake. After their honeymoon they will live in the apartment above the II. Zindts Drug Store. NEW OWNER OF GRESS STORE Miss Lillian Sehlauder has purchased Mrs. dress' store on the corner of Main and Maple Ave. and will con- tinue that woman's good work. She intends to serve lunches at the lowest pos- sible rate and will specialize in all kinds of notions. ELECTIONS FOR TOWN Next Saturday afternoon election will be held for Mayor. The two candidates for this office are Miss Ade- laide Lynch and Miss Mar- jorie West. Both candidates are well qualified for the position and it is expected that the returns will be very close. The polls will be open from 2 o’clock until 6. Miss Lynch said. “ If I am elected, the first thing I will do will be to expel all forms of jazz dances, Tylor’s Dance Hall and gambling of all sorts.” “If I am elected,” says Miss West. ‘ ‘ I will see that no men take part in public offices and that men seen on the street after nine o’clock will be punished to the full extent of the law. Either of these platforms will be immensely pppplar with the women who are t he only voters to be con- sidered, as few men are ex- pected to brave the black looks and glances of hatred by the electioneers. TANK’S CURE-ALL Friday afternoon This Week Mr. E. Tank will give a soap box lecture at the corner of Main and Curtis streets in front of Tylor’s pool room. Mr. Tank has discovered a wonderful patent medicine with the following formula: H20 X H2S04 two parts Zn 2HCL. He guarantees this medicine good for mosquito bites, infantile paralysis, corns, chilblaines, hydropho- bia,spin a lmengit is, backache, indigestion and gout. It can be taken internally, exter- nally, is good for shampoo and complexion wash. DRINK ZINDT S NEAR BEER (The drink with a kick.) MRS. J. REED JOINS CIRCUS Mrs. Jack Reed (nee Miss Grace Greene) has joined Mills Brother’s circus and intends to start a public career as a bare back rider in said circus. When asked what her husband thought of her ambition she said “He doesn’t like it of course but I think every woman should have a public career, and since my husband’s new position keeps him away from home so much of the time, I feel that I should do some- thing to make a name for myself and not stand in his shadow.” Mr. Arthur Mills said that Mrs. Reed was an old classmate of his so he knew her ability in such lines was very great and he hired her without question. Mrs. Reed received her first train- ing in the Downers Grove Follies and steadily advanced from that time on until she is now able to accept the position offered her by the circus. SOCIAL NEWS The greatest social event of the season took place yes- terday at the Episcopal Church, when Mr. Everett Emma Brown was married to Miss Fannie Radell. The street was lined with the planes of the guests and the wedding party. Inside tin church was gorgeously decorated with festoons of dandelions and milkweed. The bride walked up the aisle leaning on the arm of her father. It was with tears of joy that the parents of the couple watched the party. The bride was dangerously gowned in Cerise net over purple cambric and carried a bouquet of red and yellow morning glories. The marriage was per- formed by the Reverend Leroy Sullivan of the church. After the wedding the bride and groom departed in a Woods plane, amid showers of old shoes and empty cans. Pagf 2i

Clagg $oem TO DOWNERS GROVE HIGH SCHOOL Oh Downers Grove High School, four brief years ago. Some two score of I'rcshmen, shy, timid, you know, Entered your halls, best under the sun. This was the beginning of Class Twenty-one. They were studious, brilliant and mischievous too. I think you might truthfully say that a few Will e’er be remembered from that point of view. They were happy, fun loving; one says that this class Just radiates pep, always docs—always has. They furnished the rooters who, loyal to the core, Cheered the team onward, no matter the score. Oh, many were the gifted in this fair class, Their virtues ranged widely from railroads to jazz In music, dramatics, in work and in fun, They gave an incentive for classes to come. Four happy years rolled into the Past And now it is nearing the end of the last. In place of the Freshmen of old ’seventeen A class of staid Seniors appear on the scene With thoughts of the Future their hearts are now stirred, Yet they thoughtfully linger to say the last word, Not to their classmates or friends in the song. To you, dear old High School, the last word belongs. May they take away with them the lessons they’ve learned, Not only in class rooms from pedagogues stern. But in sportsmanship, friendship, good thoughts and good deeds. For those arc the lessons that Life truly needs, They’ve earned their diplomas; their work is now done. They thank you sincerely—the class ’twenty one. Mary Curtis Page 23
