The Man With a Grievance was out
early this morning. Last night" he
said, Il saw a man at card table
with three women. I want to ask you
If you ever saw one woman in the
company of three men that she didn't
have their undivided attention, all
three of them with their best Chester
heldian manners, unless, perhaps, one
might happen to be her husband, and
all vying with one another to show her
every courtesy and make her have the
time of her life? Well, these four,
one lone man and three of his best
women friends, sat down for a game
of bridge. The man shufied, dealt,
made it diamonds, and waited for the
woman at his left to play. The women
were fussing with their cards and con-
tinuing the conversation which had
been going on with occasional inter-
ruptions since they sat down. Do YOU
know my wash woman disappointed
me again today?' said one. She sent
word at nine o'clock this morning
when Eliza had everything ready and
waiting for her that she couldn't pos
sioly come today. Eliza had to drop
everything@and she had Just begun
on a bushel of green tomatoes that by
the merest luck my grocer found for
me-and 90 to look for another wo-
man
." Did she find one?' asked her Wis
avis, and then without waiting for a
reply: If I had to put off having our
laundry done for even one day the
health officers would call for the chill
dren. It's simply impossible to keep
them decent and disgraceful as: they
always look our washings are some
thing fearful. have to have
laundress four days every week
George isn't so bad, even If he IS a
boy, but Margaret is the worst ever. I
put clean white frock on her after
luncheon and before dinner it's pot
black. O,'-turning suddenly to the
man sitting in polite patience behind
his cards, did you make it?'
1--WE noticed about Margaret. said the
third woman, that she's so much
harder on her clothes than George. !
