CLOTRES-REtL AND DRAW BRIDGE

~~~S~N~NNSrS~S~~Nc
The Italian immigrant has a happy
gift Of extracting pleasure from I'M
expected sources, SO many common
place objects of his new home are
yet wonders to him. A woman who
lives in a pretty suburban residence
the long garden of which runs back
to small court upon which a row Of
tenement houses has just been erected,
discovered this recently when she
found group of dark-eyed, dirty lit
tie boys dancing ecstatically on the
platform of her clothes dryer
They were cheering on daring COM
rade who was clinging to the outer
cross-bar of the reel. One of his mates
had set it spinning, and the other boy,
was dizzily gyrating aloft, mingling
his ey2tted squeals Of joy with the
cI4els and groans of the overbur-
Aened machine. Even as she looked
there was an ominous snap, and the
flying cherub came suddenly to earth
at her feet, where he sat softly rub
bling himself and staring up at her,
too daZed to cry. For the sake Of
their own youthful bones she thought
it case for severity, and began to
scOld the intruders as sternly as she
knew how, concluding rather helpless
ly with an impatient "Whatever made
you do such silly thing, anyhow
Answer me, can't your
'Bullafunna, signorinaw whispered
the fallen one. And it was not until
the remark was translated by an Irish
youngster, who was peeping through
the fence, that she learned what the
Italian lad meant.
"Sure, he says It's bully fun the
Irish boy interpreted.
Arguments and circumstances quite
failed to overcome the dangerous fas-
cination Of such a delightful gynnast-
ic apparatus. The woman had finally
to take it down and resort to the an
cient and inconvenient clothesline in
stead.
A far funnier case OF perverted en-
tertainment occurred lately in a Con-
necticut town in which the draw
bridge tender complained to the police
that the Italian residents had fallen
into the habit of riding on the draw
as If it were merry-go-round.
Sometimes there's as many as five
hundred of them,' he complained; $50
many that the draw wont work prop
erly, and it most kills me trying TO
turn the crank. When holler at them
to get off, they just holler back, and
don't bulge. They aren't ugly, but
they won't mind. They all come
mothers and babies, fellows and girls,
and sometimes they bring hurdy-
gurdy and dance while the bridge
swings round. It's fun for them, but
it's death to me- It's got to be
stopped, or I'll resign. The city don't
hire me to run whirligig sideshow
to a circus"
