seems that some woman friend of hers down
in the next block had porcelain bathtub
and one or two other contiXin's put in her
house, and victoriously showed them to my
wife. My wife went to our landlord and
gave him bad quarter of an hour, I'll bet,
from what she told me of it, and when he
told her that the porcelain bathtub scheme
would have to follow little later she told
him he could have his old ancient Aztec
house after the first day OF May. When we
first moved into the house we've got now
my wife couldn't talk enough about the
idyllic quietude that reigned in the neighbor-

says theyre the noisest mavericks this side
