been cleaned off and look like boy
with a spring hair clip. There are
some of the most ATTRACTIVE little parks
around the T. & p. shops that there are
in town and those in authority are
helping nature out with the paint
brush and garden rake to make them
more attractive his year than ever
before Then they are looking for the
Countess de Boni's brother George and
they want things to look pleasing to
his presidential eye. Like the S. P. 10
cal officials they don't seem to know
the hour nor the day when their boss
is going TO drop in on EN-
