Who Knows A Woman’s Mind?
Here’s a peculiar circumstance
that’s hard to understand. If you
can solve the riddle, please let us
know the answer. Many Brevard
women evidently are of the opin
ion that they must go to the near
by larger towns and cities to do
their shbpping in order to get a
better selection and lower price,
for it is stated on good authority
that they are flocking by the doz
|ens to Asheville, Greenville and
l Hendersonville to do their Christ
[mas shopping. Now, here’s \^here
the puzzle comes in. It is stated
by the Brevard merchants them
selves that every day women from
these very same cities are coming
to the stores here to do their
Christmas shopping, telling the
Brevard merchants that they have
a better selection and a more rea
sonable price than they can find
in the aforementioned cities where
they live. Now, who knows a wom
an’s mind but herself, and does
she know it?
Quiz Lesson
1. What is the only metal that
is liquid in its natural state? 2.

Buy Christmas Seals Now
If you want to do a really help
ful bit for someone else for Christ
mas cheer, it can be very simply
and easily done by every one. Just
buy at least a dollar’s worth of
the little penny Christmas seals,
the proceeds from which sales go
toward the relief of tuberculosis
victims. And not only buy them,
but use them by sticking them on
all of your Christmas greeting
cards and packages, and thereby
pass along the good influence of
these little penny seals.
Meal In One Salad
For a hurry-up, appetizing and
nutritious meal-in-one salad, try
this some time and see if it does
not suit your family’s fastidious
taste, as well as the bread-earner’s
pocketbook. Just take a little of
your left-over meat loaf or other
cooked meat, break it in small
chunks and toss it lightly with
hard cooked eggs, diced, cubes of
pickle and mayonnaise to make a
smooth mixture.
Quiz Answers

Bud Sader Tells How
Nancy Sader, 5, and little Bud,
3, children of Major and Mrs. Jul
ius Sader, noticing a bald head
for the first time, were very much
puzzled on seeing Leon English,
Jr., who is almost completely bald
with the exception of a fringe of
an inch or two of hair at the base
of his head.
Nancy — “What went with all
your hair? I never did see any
body with just no hair.”
Leon — (laughing heartily)
“Well, I haven’t had any for a
long time. It does look funny,
doesn’t it?”
Bud — (rubbing the fringe of
hair) “I know where it is. It slip
ped down.”
