AS soon as Mr. Bowser was out OF

two hats, and both were crushed as
flat as pancakes.
Her bearskin furs came next.
Two of his night shirts were a close

Then was revealed her tooth brush
and his razor and mug.
Then a pair of her old shoes that
had been sitting in the closet for six
months.
Then one of her stockings and one
of his socks rolled lovingly together.
Then a pair of his discarded slip

Then a calico apron which she

Then a dump of stuff consisting of
hair pins, tape line, piece of chalk,
a cook book, an almost toothless
BACKBONE and a pair of his soiled
cuffs These were dumped in to fill
a certain cavity.
Then came a stratum of socks and
stockings and neckties and wooden
oh
a sort of keynote.
At the bottom of the trunk were
two ragged waists, a pair of Mr.. Bow
ser's trousers, five of his collars, one
artificial flowers and yard of old
lace Mrs Bowser had the things all
out of the trunk and on the floor
when he returned from his dinner
and as he sat down he said:

And nothing forgotten nor out of

Eyes, you deserve credit. I can't
imagine how you could have done it."
And during the rest of the evening
Mr.. Bowser went around with his
chest swelling out and smile on his
face, and he was so good that the
cat took three or four distrustful
looks at him and said to herself:

Mrs. Bowser realized but she was

Chicago heiress. He is finally cured of
his infatuation and the process is as in
teresting as it is strenuous.
