"Not one world did we say till we near home, then Henry broke the silenca:

"I only hope," he said, "that I have not got in; with all the others out this would be the last straw.'

The instalment in the Sunday Times of Mm. Asquith's autobiography dealt with the General Election of Decem-got ber, 1918. Mre. Asquith says she does not think that anyone to day would say that that election was other than a great political crime; and she goes on to give quotations from ber entries in her diary the last day of the election. Mr. Asquith end the bed in the early part of the day attended the Guildhall gathering, at which the freedom of the City of London was conferred од President Wileon.

7. Don't-let-boys lift-you-off-your- feet and whirl you through the air. Were you accidentally to let go it! might be a case of "spine broke, can't recover."

8. Never take intoxicating drink. at a dance. There is no better stimulant than the wine of youth.

9. After the ball go straight home along with other girl friends, and It's don't allow yourself to be escorted circuitously by your best-boy-of-the moment, whom perhaps you, bave just "picked up" without previous acquaintanceebip.
