IN B.-Too swift for your
uncle
Hank dropped by my onice for
n minute on his way 20 Frisco.
Said he liked things lively, but
there was altogether Too much
rough house on Beacon Hill for
him. Judged that as the
crowd which wasn't invited was
80 blamed sOciabie. the one
which was invited would have
stayed a week n he hadn't
slipped up on the date. That
might be tho Boston Idea, but
he wanted little more refine
ussnt In his. Said ne was q
pretty free spender. and would
hold his end up. but he hated =
hog. OF course told Hank
that Boston wasn't all that Il
was cracked up 20 be IN the
school histories, and that Circle
City wasn't 10 tough as Y read
In the newspapers. for there
was no way Of making him uu-
derHtand that he might have
lived IN Boston for "a hundred
years without being invited 10 a
stfa - berry social. because n
fellow cuts ies on the Arctic
Circle. II Doesn't follow that he's
going 20 be worth beans on the
