The thrifty man who gets ahead
Is never by false pride led,
For the proverb he knows best of all
Is “pride always g es before a fall.”
His neighbors and his friends all may
Diamonds wear and dress up gay,
Yet he keeps down his own expenses
Within the bounds of common sense.

If you have wondered what the
members of the faculty do when they
have a party, you should have, seen
the Freshmen program last Thurs-
day. Their stars in the play entitled
“A Faculty Get Together.” were

home inside and out. And there
are new Christmas tree bulbs that
remain lighted when one of their
brothers on a string burns out.
What a lot of trouble that is going
to save!
Lights Carry Cheer
The wreath in the window, for in-
stance, will carry its message of
cheer farther if it is illuminated,
and if you have not the time or in-
clination to entwine a Christmas tree
string of lights into the living wreath
yourself, you may buy one already
made up, and save yourself the trou-
ble. And of course it’s a perennial—
good next year and for many years
a'iter that.
Sentiment and tradition dictate
that the light in the window be a
Christmas candle. .. The latest 1936
modqls are electric ones that will
not catch fire or drip wax on the
window draperies. Where the ar-
chitecture of the windows makes it
possible to place these candles here, ;

By Jean Prentice
j^FTER one thousand, nine hun-
dred and some odd merry
Christmases, it was only natural
that holiday cheer—not to be longer
confined indoors — brimmed over
■outside. Some kindly soul, who
wanted to share the spirit of
Christmas with his neighbors,
■strung a number of colored lights
on the fir tree at his front doorstep,
and within a few years little firs
had sprung up at front doors every-
where, to bloom with light at
Christmas time, as if by magic.
An Accepted Vogue *
Today, decorative lighting is the
accepted vogue during the holiday
season. All too often, however, at-
tractive decorations outside have
depended upon a man’s being
'“handy around the house.” Now,
sto-es everywhere offer an infinite
variety of electric decorative equip-
ment which may be combined in
ccimcfes ways with hollys, mistle-

Jordan is Plaintiff, and Anna Jordan
is Defendant, and a brief statement
of plaintiff’s cause of action, being
as follows: Plaintiff sues defendant
for divorce on the ground of abandon-
ment, alleging that defendant on or
about the 1st day of Sept., 1934,
voluntairly left and abandoned his
bed and board, with intention of
finally separating and living apart
from him and has since continued to
so live apart from him; for custoday
of their minor children, two of whom,
namely, Bennie and Jack, boys nine
and thirteen years old. respectively,
being under the age of sixteen years;
and praying that his marriage re-
lations with defendant be disolveid,

TIGERS TALE—
Billy Burgin is at home on the farm
as the only place for a country boy
is on the farm. Billy says eleven years
of school is enough for him.
Madge Smith is at home and is
planning to take a beauty course, as
her boy friend is in the army now,
and she must make herself a living
until he gets out.
Martin Lack is in the San Antonio
air force. It seems that while some of
his interest must be in San Antonio,
the other part is in Canyon.
Sue Lili is going to Amarillo Busi-
ness College, and likes it. She plans
to be a stenographer when she finish-
es college.
Geneva Tillman is taking a post-
graduate course at Pampa and is also
working for the Western Union. We
hear she likes Cobbs pretty well, but
not corn cobbs.
Bertha Carl Burgdorf is home now.
but has been working in Amarillo.
Red Harper is at home on the farm.
He is another boy who can’t get away
from farming. He is planning on join-
ing the army.
Rubye Lee Byes, Velma Lee Mc-
Dowell, Madeline Townsend, and
Frances Kuehler are all at home.
Madeline plans to attend a business
school, ' and Frances plans to take
nursing in Amarillo.
It seems all of the Senior class are
going to become old maids and bach-
elors except one, Shirley (Knight)
Lamberson, who married June 22,
1940. Shirley lives on a farm at Hed-
ley, Texas. Shirley must be very in-
dustrious to catch one of“those” so
soon.
lighted

the atmosphere they create may be
enhanced by lining the window sill or
window seat with pine boughs oc
other greenery,
Infinite Variety Possible
For the exterior of the home, door-
way festoons, cardboard silhouettes
and strings of colored lights outlin-
ing the windows or entrance door-
way are always in good taste, and
easy to install. Floodlights concealed
in shrubbery may be used with ex-
cellent effect. And it is a simple
matter to place a few strings of
colored lights in small trees on the
lawn. Weatherproof wire is, of
course, essential to safety. $
The best effect is achieved when
some definite pattern or decorative
scheme is planned and carefully fol- '
lowed, rather than a number of
lights placed indiscriminately about
the house and grounds. Then, re-
gardless of the extent of your deco-
rations, the effect will be tasteful and
attractive to all beholders,
