some Things she'd Like 10 Know

Here are a few things the girl who
eats cold mince pie for lunch every
day and wears permanent frown
would like to know:
Why it is that when she carries
the car is crowded and she has to
stand the entire distance, with no pos
sible chance of holding anything near
her eyes, while on the days she has no
book or newspaper there is plenty of
room and she could spread out her ell
bows if she wished
WHY it is that the men who open
the heavy doors of office buildings do
not look around before they let them
swing back upon the luckless next
conner.
Why the thing she intends to eat
for dinner and thinks about before
she reaches the restaurant is always
out when the waiter goes after it,
Why it is that it always rains hard
for DAYS after she has made up her
mind to walk three miles every day
for her health.
the most fuss about the gowns trail
ing on the ground and sweeping the
streets are loudest in their denuncla-
ton of her short skirt
WHY it is that the play which has
been praised by most of her friends
always seems stupid when she sees it,
Why it is that the plainest girl
among allher friends is the one she
would 90 to first if she had a favor to
ask.
