THE THRILL OF THRILLS
GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL
A gift at this time is very appropriate and
will surely be appreciated, especially if you
give “Gifts That Last.
You will find such gifts at Edwards’ Jew
elry Store, and during the month of May
you surely will be pleased at reduction in
prices on diamond rings, dinner rings, set
rings, Bracelet watches, strap watches, etc.
Think how such gifts will be treasured in
the years to come!

MOTHER AND HER CLUBS
By Lawrence Hawthorne
My mother’s at the club today!
I don’t know jus’ which one;
But, anyhow, she’s gone away
To have a lot o’ fun!
She’ got a dozen clubs, I guess,
An’ every day or so
She’s lookin’ up some new address
Where she’s supposed t’ go!
When she's at home, she’s busy, too—-
She’s always at the ’phone
Advisin’ someone what t’ do;
An’ when she’s left alone
She’s writin’ what the speaker said;
Or checkin’ her accounts
T’ find out why they’re “in the red
In such absurd amounts.”
Las’ year my mother said that she
Was through for good an’ all—
She simply wasn’t goin’ t’ be
In any clubs that Fall!
But when she told ’em she was done,
An’ all her friends got sore,
She kept her place in every one—
An’ joined a couple more!
