n LAR MARGUERITE: About
- three years ago when I
wac. in Fourth grade there was
a little boy in our room Of whom
we were all very jealous. He
was very small and had a little
baby voice. Every morning
and noon he went to our
teacher and fingered her
scolding-locks while he told her,
about a little. bird or frog or
kitten he had seen on the way
to school. It was very funny
to hear him go on in the softest
little voice imaginable about
the kitty which climbed. the
tree or the birdie that was in a
little nest and had three dear
blue eggs. But in spite Of his

Two young women were discussing
their late vacations at q well-known
club for business women down town,
says the New York Press. One OF
them said enthusiastically:
"Of course. you found the scenery
inspiring, but what part Of your trip
did you really enjoy the most?"
The other woman gave vent to q
ripping laugh and replied:
well, II you want to know the
truth, it was my meals in the restaur-
ants attached to the various stations
where ! made close connections"
The first speaker, confirmed trav-
eler. gasped incredulously, but the
second continued her explanation:
1T was the first time in my life that
really felt free to spend money just as
I liked and took . childish satisfac'
ton in the depot restaurants-not
lunch counters. mind you. but dining
rooms with real tables and table
cloths. AS q child I suffered tortures
