at Legion hall last Thursday night
The meeting opened with the regu
lar routine of business. President
Jerusha Eliza Bang.:, . Secretary
Rebecca Retrace, committees and
members generally were present
The president stated the object of the
meeting being the consideration of
ways and means toward acquiring
husbands. The matter was discucsed
pro and con and the ' consentui of
opinion was that all legitimate meant
be employed toward the occomplish
ment of the desire. - Right here a
bright fly dropped into the would-be-wives'
ointment in the form of a
French inventor, wh0 carried a ma
chine which was ordained to change
live', opinioni and detiret of the
maidt. The members were told that
if they cared to make the experiment
each would be granted her desire.

ing a husband all but one had a
change of mind and were transmuted
according to her wish. '
Miss Bangs had a predeliction for
golf and as a result, when the emerg
ed from the cabinet had assumed the
shape, face and attributes of a
beautiful golfer.
Secretary Retrace had her mind
set upon being a bathing beauty.
Her de- rre was granted and instead
of an old maid who stepped . into
the professor' contrivance became
a pretty and very beautiful maid of
the sea. -m'
Maid Plack was a homebody and
desired that she be made over into
a good cook. That was done and
her subsequent entry pictured her
as a youthful compounder of things

medium of his stomach.
Deslro Aman thought that being a
college girl was the height of glory.
She reached that height as

wore a fitting costume and her face
waj wreathed in a bewitching
smile.
Serena Haabeen was so flustrat'J

all that was forced to undergo a
change. In her stead emerged a
fine appearing lady who possessed

Petunia Pickles, with an Idoa of
doing the greatest good to ' the
greatest number, chose to te ' a
