press clothes better any tailor give you head barber
shave, and pack weekend bag while you was lookn
up your train Featherswan had told him that Tvvers
never forgot and always did the right thing at the right
time, just like an eight-day clock.
My little side remarks seemed to peeve Pinckney too
and he suggests that when it to sizn people up,
didn't have any brilliant record back OF me- Ilvvers
would suit him, he certain; and, he startn
for Palm Beach in the mornin he soon have chance
to try him out
"Oh, WELL" says l. Il wish you luck"
THAT was Tuesday and it's only Friday when who
should run across, goin out on the hve-seventeen
but Pinckney again.
''Why, thought you down the sunny sands"
says Didn't make long trip of it, did your Hows
Tivvers the unexcelled?
"Oh, dash Tivvers!' says he
Course springs grin at that. and joshes Pnckney
along until he gives up the details. Maybe it want
anything that would have bothered you or me SO much
but perhaps you can imagine Pnckney, when he
to dress for forenoon stroll along the palm walk and
finds Tivvers has laid out suit OF thick Harris tweed
that would have been nice and conf table in Quebec
about then. The flannel pants and the blue coat
mssin but there's the Norfolk shootin jacket and
pair of striped worsted tea party trousers to 60 with
the frock coat that's been left behind And in place of
his Panama the hat box discoses silk lid and sealskn
cap Also there's four dress Shirts no studs, and only
one pair of socks.
"f4aw haw!" saws l. "Then there was some re-
marks from you, expect. What does Tivvers have
to SNa sayr word s,vs pncknev .He inst stood and
blnked with that idotic stare his face So took
the next train back. I'm don't know what's
wrong with him"
Maybe he wants windin' up, or oin'," says l.
A Ii of which didn't to have any bearn' at the
= time this affair at the PurdyPells'. heard
something about how this Cousin Hadey had showed
up there the day before and dropped the mat as he
bein helped in and I'd doped it out from the de-
scrpton polite way of sayn that Hadley had come
in Spilled.
But Sadie insists it nothing of the kind. Seems
he'd just got in from Egypt, where he'd been battin
around the Nile and the north edge of Africa and he'd
accumulated kind of coast fever that the steamer
doctor hadn't been able to jar loose with constant diet
of qunine pills. So he lands here with complexion
like the top of Brie cheese, hectic flush under
each eye, temperature of hundred and two in the
shade and just enough left to dodge ambulance
ride by visitin' his relations
And the first thing that greets when gets home
after seein Pnckney the train bulletin from Sadie
that Cousin Hadey worse, and that she'd promised to
send me right after dinner
How thoughtful! says l. Want me to prescribe
for him, do theyl"
No, it want that; Hadley had turned batty. He'd
informed the lady that the he couldn't take
his medicine that he camel and could seven
days without drink. He'd backed up that statement
by 1opn around the all fours, and the butler
was all tryin to hold him in bed. There
man nurse comm out in the mornin'; but here a
whole night for him to cut up in
And Mrs Purdy Pel is fearfully upset it., says
