I'm hoping the conductor will come
in and give us all n tip to take to
the timber because the cops are going
to pinch the room. but there's nothing
doing.
One Of the danes on my right fin Ia
her voice and passes 1t around:-

I've just decided that this lady
ought to make up as n Swede servant
girl and play the part. when her friend
hooks in:
oh. yes. think II will look per-
fectly sweet! 1t is a foulard in one
Of those new neliotrope tints. made
with crepe de chine chemisette, with
second vest peeping out on either
side Of the front over an embroidered
satin vest and cut in scallops on The
edge. finished with null ruche OF
white chiffon, and the sleeves are :ist
too tight for any use. and the Skin is
too long for any good. and | declare
the lining is too sweet! and | Just hate
to wear 1t out on the street and get 1t
soilel. and was going to have 1t made

absent one.
She said she was svelte.

That's the way with some women.
They cant come right out md call an.
other woman polish. They have to
beat around the bush and chase their
friends To the swamps by throwing
