Just then Aunt Martha squeezed in
from shopping excursion and I went
out in the hall while she counted up

Clara J. to look at.
Aunt Martha is Uncle Peters wife,
only she weighs more and breathes

three other bookbinders were out buy

Things went along this way for
about a week and was all to the bad.
One evening Clara J. said to me:

Dinkalorum started of in the lead
like pale streak, and Immediately
bought an entirely new set of furni-

About half way around locomotive

Dinkalorum, being a Union horse,
thought it was six o'clock and refused
absolutely to work a minute over

It looked good and l handed Isadore
Longfnger $40 for the purpose of
tearing $500 away from him a little
later on.
Pink Slob got away in the lead, but
he made the mistake of walking fast
instead Of running, with the result

in the stable, Pinkie was still giving
a heel and toe exhibition around near

Just before the last race l ran
across Bunch. He was over $500 to
the good and he wanted to treat me to
a lot of kind words he felt like saying
about himself.
Oh! but maybe he wasn't the city
boy with the head In the suburbs!
When l reached home that night I
felt like a sock that needs darning.
Clara J. had invited Uncle Peter to
take dinner with us and he began to
give me the nervous look-over as soon
as answered roll call.
Uncle Peter is a very stout old gen
tleman. When he squeezes into our
little fiat the walls act like they are
bow-legged.
Uncle Peter always goes through
the folding doors sideways, and every
time he sits down the man in the fiat
below kicks because we move the
piano so often.
Tacks was also present.
Tacks is my youthful brother-in-law
with mind like walking delegate

up to somebody who doesn't need it.

For less expensive millinery the

The latter are little less expensive
