of them. A little boy climbed
up on the fence and loo ked
with envious eyes upon the girls at
play. "You'll have to wear a dress
before you can play here" said the
lady of the house, laughingly shaking
her finger at him. The next instant
the boy Skinned down from the fence
and disappeared. But five minutes
later he presented himself dressed inone
of his sisters frocks and he was a
sight to behold. Which leads simply
to the thought that you can't bluff a
Kansas boy.
