THE NONPAREIL MAN

We Break Into Politics and s"Denounce'l
Somebody Don't Know Exactly Who
Vet, but Nevertheless We Denounce-
Him Flercely and Firmly.
And SO politics is on again! Well, we
"denounce" somebody; don't know ex-

and recognition OH her charming features.
We We're battered. She was simply vet
richly gowned, and her face was heav-

beautiful features and lighted them UP
ike a June sunset over the waters of
Nlinnetonka. We made a desperate effort
to recall where in thunder we had ever
seen this graceful and charming creature.
figldently she was wealthy, cultured,
beautiful and she knew us. oh, so init
mately Where in the name of all that
was gracious had we seen that face?
AS We worked up our most pleasing
smile and reached for our hat, inwardly
cursing bad memory for names, but
figuring on neatly lodging the issue, she
slipped by and warmly greeted a lady
