JOHN
PLAYS PROGRESSIVE EUCURE.
By HUGH McHUGH
GEORGE ". HOBART

One night recently / went out wit
Clara Jane to one of those progress
sive euchre fights.
1t was my first time up before tn
Judge, and l felt as nervous as a ney
servant girl.
Clara Jane introduced me to tn,
bunch, and 1 drew a tall lady who ha(
LIVED in Chicago for many years an(
didn' know what to do about it.
l saw that l was out to get bumped
If l didn't forget my fears and talk
fast, so l braced and began to cut
grass.
Lovely weather we're having,
ain't it," 1 observed. Whats the
trump"
My partner was one of those old
things that never speak a line without
throwing a con goo-goo with the eye.
/ was next in a minute.
She was one of the kind that's anx-
ious to lead you away from your own
tootsie wootsie, in the hope that you
may have a spare bunch of sweet talk
you can hand her on the quiet.

yells for a cheap minister.
l wa anxious to have my sentence
expire with that dame, so l played a
swift game.
l ducked to my corner quick when
the gong sounded, but I'm afraid the
round was against me.
I'm not stuck on myself-believe
me.
1 consider myself about an eight to
five shot, and 1 feel that I can come
down the stretch with the rest of the
bunch without the whip.
So when l noticed that every time
I looked around the room I'd catch
that old fairy giving me the far-away
gaze l didn't know whether to puff up
and get chesty, or hustle for my coat
and my top-piece and go home.
My next partner was a giggler.
Say, boys, those giggling danes
are beyond the breakers, aren't they?
l used to think that a girl giggled
because she was off her feed, but I've
since decided that they hand out those
chopped laughs because their brains
bounce around and they get a kink in
their conversational powers.
They have a motto which reads:
when in doubt, giggle!"
The beauty bright who sat opposite
me in the second round giggled by
note.
Every time she played a card she
giggled, and when she wasn't playing
she was fixing her valves for another
outburst.
The bell found me groggy at the
end of the second round.
The old hen with the languishing
lamps vas still on my trail.
The next time 1 went to the center
I was matched with a married lady
who talked about her husband all the
while.
Every time she opened her mouth
she cooked up a fresh batch of hot
air about Gus. 3,

asking me to announce myself as a
