Now there's Mrs. Bob. You know
Bob has always liked that yellow-haired
Parham girl. He likes Mrs. Bob better
of course, but Miss Parham fiatters him
and coos over him and he always dances
a lot with her and talks about her and
tries to make Mrs. Bob jealous and,
naturally, he succeeds. But does she
dare show it? Never! She has to be
nice to Miss Parham and when Bob
praises her, assent and agree. She
knows Miss Parham beaches her hair
but she can't say so. She knows, too,
that Miss Parham's tacIxy, although
she spends so much on her clothes; that
she's always too much fused up, with
little bows and medallions and gobS of
lace and things all over her; that her
nose is too big, that she's selfish, cold,
calculating, and that she'd marry Billy
Phelps in a. minute if she could get him
but she'll never tell Bob so. She'd keep
it to herself until she burst with it first,
and she's quite right. She's trying to
make him sick of the subject by talking
about it, too. So whenever you go there
you may expect to hear a good deal
about Miss Parham.
But suppose their positions were re-
versed. What would Bob do? Why, he'd
raise the roof. that's what he'd do.
