Aabashful young man at down

Irritation with the girl who waited
on him. He ordered his sandwich
and coffee, and though he was dy-
ing to speak to her, couldn't screw
Mis- courage to the sticking point.
In desperation, he asked for a
glass of water. She brought 1t. He
drank it. Then he asked for an
other, and drank 1t; then for a
third, which, after struggle, he
also managed to swallow.
Then, suddenly, he looked her
squarely in the eye with a frantic
stare, and asked:
whats your name?

murely. r

was all. He left the restaurant
