standing in the doorway of the drug
store, 1 found myself right behind
three street car employees, numbers lis,
34S and AL. Wouldn't it be funny"
observed 34S. ''if she were right here.
or came up and spoke with US. What
would we dO?'
Nothing. genial S4S, for none of you
had a Herald Republican in your pos
session. No 34S also said that I was
so heavily disguised that it would be
impossible for any one to pick me out.
On the contrary, / was very lightly dis
guised last night, though l can assume
a very battling disguise if I choose.
Once 1 hurried diagonally across the
street to where my auto stood. There
seemed quite a commOtiOn in that Vi
cinity and I was curious to learn its
cause. Some one suspected some young
lady of being Dolly, and a crowd of 500
or 500 persons pursued her. The young
lady again and again assured her pur-
suers that she was not Dolly. but they
did not heed her. She ran up into the
Globe hotel, followed by a great crowd.
Please Read Rules.
Please don't do that If a lady denies
being Dolly it is because she is not.
When you address me, giving the
correct salutation. 1 viii at once admit
my identity. Please do not insist when
a lady says that she is not Dolly.
1 saw a middle-aged lady approach
a young lady wearing a blue jersey
dress and black shoes with white tops.
Are you Dolly Dimples?" asked the
lady The girl in blue laughed. NO"
she replied, but maybe that girl over
there standing at the curbstone is"
"Oh. that wouldn't be She" said her
accoster.
Judging from many remarks which
l overheard, participants are under the
impression that I viii always remain
full hour at the scene of my appoint
ment place. / seldom do that. l may
stay twenty minutes, and perhaps half
an hour, seldom an hour.
1 left the scene of my evenings ap-
pointment at about twenty minutes Of
on an Ashton avenue car, No. All.
L suggest that you all carefully MEM
orize the salutation, and come to my
noon appointment today prepared to
try to capture me.
Good luck to everybody, and please
try.
Dolly Makes a Canvass.
Have you ever pretended that you
had mad relatives and that you were
trying to find suitable lodging for
them2
If you haven't, you'll find it a novel
experience, and you will be surprised
to learn that this world is full of the
kindest-heaTted, most charitable peo-
pie imaginable. If you have lost all
faith in mankind just try it, and you'll
come home whistling the "Star-Span-
gled Banner" praising God and your
country, and so brimful of new and
noble resolutions that you regret that
year, a month, a day, has gone by
when you looked at life from the wrong
viewpoint.
recommend this experiment for
those who are skeptical and pessi-
mistic. The sympathy which you will
encounter Will serve to prop your sag
ging faith and help to restore your
ideals
Many Kind Words.
There are no kind words that I can
think of which would be too extrava-
CANT to use in praise of Salt Lake la
dies. They are just too sweet, kind
hearted and sympathetic for anything
The ready sympathy and hospitality
which 1 met with yesterday, when in
quest of boarding places for my
imaginary insane relatives, really
touched me and will always Iinger i'll
my memory.
My first call was on Ninth East
street. A very kind-lOOlzing lady an
swered my ring.
Have you any roOms?" I inquired.
Did you want housekeeping rooms ?'
she asked.
No" I replied, Just furnished

.'Step inside" she invited. You're
the lady who called up on the tele-
phone this morning, aren't you?" she
asked.
NO, l didn't call up" 1 answered.

you want a large rOOm?"
Yes. I want a room for my aunt and
myself" I informed her.
Just come upstairs" she said, and
I'll show you the rooms
This is a pleasant ROOM" she re-
marked" when we reached the next
floor, leading the way into a room
opening off the hall
Yes" I agreed, this is very nice"

tinued, 1--WE have no steam heat"
"Oh. you haven't?" / said.

warm" she said, smiling.
rs il a wood stove? ''I asked.
No" she smiled. I'VE don't have
wood in this part Of the country. 1t is
q coal stove. The bath is on this floor"
she went on, and you'll find every
thing very convenient"
The price 1 learned was quite reason
able.
Wanted Aunt to See it.
I'D like to have aunt see this place, %
I remarked. 'WIl you give me the
name and address. please? ?"

wrote it down.
Mrs Reed" I said, you may not
care to take us on account of aunt
You see-well, the fact is, she's in

The lady's eyes opened very wide.
"insane," she echoed.
Yes. though not violently So" I ad-
United in apologize tones.
My, isn't that too bad" said Mrs
Reed, sympathetically. she isn't vio-
lent them" she asked.
No" I replied. "She is absolutely
normal save in some respects. When
meal time comes around aunt always
cries and laments for fully five min
utes before she'll eat"
My goodness" calculated the lady
Do You give meals % I asked.
No" she replied but a young gen
tleman who roOmed here got his meals
fight near here. Is she noisy?" she
concluded.
No, not a bit" 7 answered. you'd
