Cupid has a new ambush from which to shoot his love-tipped arrows, It is the World Almanac.

When the 1906 World Almanic sheets | were brought into the bindery this sea- son there was a great craning of necks to see who the Jucky girls would be. The last one of the 195 Almanic trio to be married had been somewhat slow —hadn't been «married until September. | When Mrs. Fenter took the sheets and hopeful expectancy all over the room. ‘Who were the three girls who got the first volume this year?” “Well, that wouldn't be fair to tell,” said Mrs. Fenter. “Because that would epoll thelr chances, although it looks as though you couldn't beat the charm.

They all looked as though they had hal @ chance at the magic first volume. ————————o VAUDEVILLE AT THE TOMBS.
