WELL SAID In these days of the high cost of living the following story is not without a decided point. The teacher of the primary class was trying to show the children the difference between natural and man- nuaqe wonders, and was finding it hard. -"What," she asked, "do you think is the most wonderful thing a man ever made?" A little girl, whose parents were obviously hanassed by the question of ways and . means, replied as sol emnly as the proverbial judge: "A living for his family." CHEERINESS Society Entertains O. O.

' j The Music Club is trying to get Umberto Sorenterio, the famous ItaU ian tenor to come here and give a concert between now and. the first of March. He will come under the auspices of the' Music Club and the Daughters of the Confederacy. What will also be of great interest to peo ple in this section of the state is that he will be assisted in giving his con cert by Miss Marie Torrence, so prano of Gastonia.

THE ORIGINAL BLUEBEARD The Bluebeard or Barbebleue of Perrault's fairy tale had the habit of killing his wives, but the first and original Bluebeard was a slayer of children. IHe was Giles da Laval, Marshal de Retz, a famous soldier, at one time the richest man in France. He was executed for his atrocious crimes 475 years ago, December 23, 1440. lH5s beard was a tint which won for him the popular title later given by Perrault to the fairy tale villain. The oroginal Bluebeard was noted alike for his piety and his licentious ness. iHis chapel was the richest in its furnishings in all France, and he gained a gold cross carried before him on his errands. All of this time his accomplices were luring children to his castle, all of whom were put to death by the monster. Just how many he made away with is not known, but it is certain that they numbered hundreds.
