to be pretty like other women, don't you,
sweetheart? Do you think I look well
in green? That green princess was a
lovely thing, wasn't it, dear? But think
bow long I were it I I saw a terrible
pretty piece of goods, something like it,
yesterday, sweet. And only $1.89 a yard.

Many students in a few days will have
gone home to spend the Thanksgiving
vacation witn the "old folks" and it is
hoped the season may be one of feasting
and goad cheer for all those so fortunate.
However, a thought should be given to
those who are una Die logo home for this
brief respite from daily duties, and they
Bhould be made to feel that it is not such
a hardship, after all. to remain in Cor
vallis. Id many a home the presence of
one or two of these college young people
would be a real pleasure on Thanksgiv
ing day, and no doubt there are mothers
and fathers in this city wno will open
their doors and extend an invitation to
some of these perhaps homesick boys or
girls, to come and eat turkey on that day.
It is not a charity but a little act of kind
ness, such as yau would like some one,
in a similar situation, to extend to your
own son or daughter, were they .away
from home at holiday time.
