Sixty-two THE AURORA A CALENDAR ROMANCE Our hero was the common sort, when all is said and done, He worked his head off daily, and was out to get the-Mon. The reason for his diligence, was commonplace, 'tis true He tried to swell his salary so it would suflice for-Tue. And maybe that's the reason why one day he lost his head, And falling on his knees he cried, Oh, maiden, wilt thou-Wed. ' He may have thought this sudden, but it seemed not so to her, She lisped a quick acceptance and said forcibly Yth -Thur. But when they went to keeping house he feared that he would die, For, oh, that modern maiden could neither bake or-Fri. She could not run a bungalow, or even run a flat, So on many sad occasions, in some restaurant they-Sat. But he forgave her everything-as man has always done, When she presented him one day, a bouncing baby-Sun. -Selected. OUR SHOPS One of the first things Mrs. Hope did after her arrival in Yakima was to visit the parish priest, to introduce herself, and state her desire to meet the women of the parish. The good father, very much pleased to have a new parishoner, promised to report her arrival to Mrs. King, president of the Ladies Aid Society. A few days afterwards a lovely- looking woman rang Mrs. Hope's doorbell, and in a gentle voice inquired if the occupant was Mrs. Hope. Scarcely had Mrs. King uttered the sentence, than she felt herself ac- tually pulled into the house and openly embraced. Why, Ruth, Mrs. Hope exclaimed, I am Annf' The women had been close friends when Mrs. King, then Ann Gray, had spent a year at a boarding-school on the coast. But they had lost all trace of each other's whereabouts during the years following their marriage. They spent the afternoon chat- ting about their school days, and the happenings of the years which had intervened since their last meeting. Gradually, their conversation began to center itself on Yakima, her remarkable growth, and promising future. At length Mrs. Hope confessed that, although she knew she would like, and did admire the city very much, she was as yet wholly ignorant of its stores and shops. Really, Ruth, she said, I am quite puzzled as to whom I should patronize. That was one reason why I was anxious to meet some of the ladies. Can you give me some advice? Well now, that is a very general request, but I shall try to help you. Should I start with the merchandise? Ditter Bros. carry a very good line of dry-goods, and so does Oallahan's. At Chas. Barnes's you can find the most fashionable styles in w0men's ready to wear garments. The latest things in every season's hats can always be ob- tained at Kaufmann's or the Bonnet Nooke. Barnes-Woodin and the Emporium, our largest department stores, can certainly supply many of your needs. But for your hus-

Venables , Mrs. Frank Kelly Mrs. Helen Laswell Miss Catherine Koreski Miss Ruth Schichtl Schichtl Brothers Miss Marie Keolker Mr. C. L. Twohy DECIDE AND DO! The easiest thing in a world of things Is to sit and wait until somebody brings Complete instruction on what to do, And how to do it, and when, to you. It's easy then, to go straight ahead And follow the facts just as somebody said. If they come out wrong and your work's in vain, Why, that's for somebody else to explain! Yes, it's easy to sidestep and pass the buck, But the fellow who does it is out of luck 5 Since the big success always seeks the man Who can plan his work and work his plan. The power of the man whom this world consults Is based upon this: that he gets results, If you'd follow his footsteps, you-yes, YOU! Must learn to DECIDE and decide to DO. -Selected.

T H E A U O R A Sixty-three band I would recommend Weigel's or Lemon's. Bischoff's too, carry a select line of haberdashery, and any specialties can well be purchased at Storassli-Carpentier, or Mc- Gann and Mayer. - Kohl's Shoe Store has a fine line of footwear for men and women, while at Hill's and Ira L. Brown's you will find a good selection of moderately priced shoes. And old shoes can be made almost new at the Walen Repair Shop. That reminds me. The Union Cleaning does very good work,- and the Elite Laundry is quick, careful and reason- able, with one's wash. Of course, you have eaten at Ditter's Coffee Shop? It is also a very good place to buy groceries, and Deebach' s Delicatessen is another very modern grocery. ' Our city has many good drug stores. The Red Cross and Brown's specialize in prescriptions. Tuft-Bodine and the White Cross are two of our most up-to-date and progressive drug stores. At the Valley Pharmacy films are printed, and there the sale agency for The Oregonian is located. Nor do our jewelry stores take a second place, as a visit to Dunbar-Jones, and Jones dz Hawkes will convince you. You will find complete furnishings for your new home at Smith's or the Crookston Furniture Company. But a stove, cooking utensils, and electric washers can best be purchased at the Yakima Hardware, or at Lentz's on the West Side. In case of a party or other entertainment beautiful flowers can be bought at the Annavee, dainty favors at Baker's, decorations at Beaumont's, and invitations at Brad- bury's. Delicious ices and candies are made special at Yost's Candy Kitchen. Music, phonograph or piano, can be obtained at LaMay's Music Shop, or Mr. Driscoll's Orches- tra could be engaged. ' I gladly mention the Cascade Lumber Co. for builder's supplies, and also the Gibson Meat Packing Company which recently enlarged its plant. The automobile garages are also a source of pride to Yakima. The Burrows Motor Co. has the Ford agency. Schott-Halsey, the Franklin and Studebaker, and Kelly Tire Co. sells the cord tire by that name, while at J. H. Weber's, the Chevrolet motor cars are sold. Have you heard of Selah yet? It is a very busy little fruit town about four miles north of Yakima. You will find the stores there very modern, and the proprietors anxious to give you the best of service always. i Anna dear, I almost forgot. I might have saved you listening to this long speech, had I thought of giving you the AURORA, the S. J. A. School Annual, and, too, I may have overlooked some of our advertisers, and I want you to patronize them, every one. The printing of the Annual was done at the Yakima Bindery, and the pictures were taken at Abram's. In it you will find the locations of the places which I have mentioned, and I can safely say that all the advertisers are most reliable and desirous of your pat- ronage. Mrs. Hope left her friend confident that she had settled in a delightful little city, and went home to read thc list of the AURORA,S advertisers. MARY MAHER, '24.
