was one of those long. high things
shaped like a pontoon and painted war
ship gray. That kind.
The young driver, as brown and POM
pously rigid as so much bronze, curved
slowly around the Peace monument just
as swarm of laborers paused in their
work to let car go by. They guyed
him good naturedly. but he paid no at
tention. They called out with impromptu
unison to know the name of his steady,
but he just drove on.
He just drove on with his dahlias that
somehow made as vivid mind-picture
of a girl to match his youth and brown
ness. as that other picture of Cleopatra
on a barge.
And twice as genteel.
You know what it feels like to lose
your glasses? And If you don't, we'll,
say. you are lucky!
"A woman who wasn't, lost her glasses.
After ransacking2 her brains-what she
likes to call her brains-to remember
where she could possibly have left them,
there came to her sudden vision of a
vision she saw herself go in her bag for
her eyeglasses, put them on and inspect
card OF small red buttons. Then-to
borrow three favorite words. from folks
who go into trances-all was blank.
Honest, it Is queer, isn't it, how for
gotten words and past actions come to
you. without condescending to explain
how they do it, as if you were q child
that couldn't understand?
anyhow, the woman was so sure she
had left her glasses at the button counter
that she called up the store. And while
she waited to be switched to the informa-
ton bureau she prepared her remarks.
Naturally, you have to identify property
and the woman remembered that she had
put a stamp In the. Casa two-cent
stamp. And that the gold had been
given an extra curley -macue to accom-
glasses. And that the lining was green
velvet-a dark green bordering on blue.
And, If the store wouldn't take her word
for 1t, we'll, she just guessed she had
friends to prove she wasn't a person to
claim glasses that didn't belong to her
and wouldn't fit-and besides
"Oh, is that you, information bureau?-
Well, did you find a pair of eyeglasses
left in the store yesterday? L"
WAS there stamp in the case?''
II wish I could send post cards to
heaven"
When you hear a thing like that you
naturally take notice, SO the women who
had overheard moved a bit closer to the
woman who had spoken.

a lot of views of Washington, and there
