SHAVINGS

A young Spokane business man
who made the acquaintance of a
chorus girl stopping here a couple
of weeks ago called her by phone
at her hotel and suggested a little
dinner the next evening after the
show. Incidentally, he remarked
that an old college chum was visit
ing him from San Francisco, and
couldn't she bring one of her
friends?
I She said she'd be delighted, and
it was so arranged.
BE sure and bring a friend he
adjured again before ringing off.
I'll bring my best friend" the
girl assured him.
True to her word, the chorus
girl was at the appointed place at
the appointed hour next evening,
accompanied by her best friend.
The best friend was her mother.
Have you ever met with an in
PRODUCTION which puzzled you?
Here's one that rather staggered
the woman to whom it was given
a few weeks ago.
Two women who had just met
at the home of mutual friend,
and who knew nothing of each 9TH
er's past history, were walking to-
gether on their way home. One of
them, however, had been divorced,
and her husband had remarked.
They remained, however, some
what oddly, on good terms.
1t CHANGED that the two women
met this former husband and his
new wife. They paused to pass
the time of day.

band

and to his wife" the intro
duction continued.
"I'll admit | showed I was some
what flustered," explained the re-
cipient of the introductions later
"Visions of bigamy doomed before
me- 1t took me about week to
get it straight, even after explaha-
tons had been rendered"
Say, isn't 1t funny that woman
simply can not, simply will not,
get off street cars the right way?
1t seems to be born in them, and
no training or education helps the
matter the least bit. Thy Just
WILL get off cars backward, and
that's all there is to it. Mere man
can't help the situation by advice
or even sarcasm.
Yesterday afternoon, as q Man
ito car rounded the turn at Eighth
avenue, a woman got off before the
car stopped. OF course she got off
backward, and of course she fell
ker-plunk, as it were. toward the
ground, but fortunately a bundle
of dead leaves broke her fall. In
performing the stunt, however, she
actually turned two neat s6mer-
saults in the air, but landed with
out further mishap. Springing up
instantly she smiled gaily at pas
| sengers on the receding car. and
| marched off And the very next
time she'll step off backward
| again. Oh. women, women, why
can't you learn?

her.

beauty" l read all that and
wanted to see Mrs. Beggs and the
rose when | got to Seattle.
Great goodness, gracious alive!"
said Mrs. Beggs when l found her,
hasn't that died down yet? There
isn't thing to it. 1t was just a
joke
1t was no joke finding the Beggs
residence. Three street car con-
ductors and two policemen had
missed fire on the directions, and
it was only after the sledging party
had crossed several ice floes,
climbed seven packs and consumed
half day and the remainder of
the provisions, that success had
been achieved. So after mailing the
Stars and Stripes to the hitching
post, the intrepid explorer proceed

Beggs, lit was this way. You know

to see the Rev. Dr. Whitman with
some roses, there was young man
there. Well, it seems didn't
know it then-that ne young man
had come to get the sermon, and
he was reporter. Well. he was
crazy about the roses, and he said
lot about sick wife at home,
and so it was agreed by us all that
she ought to have the roses. Why
said the young man when he took
them, they haven't any thorns.
No. said Mr.. Whitman, Mrs.
Beggs' roses never have thorns.'
And that's all that was said.
