Al The Phnnn

For me. life has been so satisfy ins that my curiosity lies pretty near dormant" an old man said but even now I am capable of wondering over persons who blush at the telephone People do blush then very often A pretty girl whom I watched the other day turned the color of pink rose at something told her over the wire I wish I could have heard It must have been something nice. for only a pleasing message could make a girl look so happy and foolish as she looked then,
 The man who used that same tele- phone an hour later also got pretty red Tn the face. but it wasn't a compli- ment that made him color up. I'll swear He looked mad enough to eat somebody. and if he could have laid hands on the fellow who had made him blush l suspect there would have been some lively doings in that neigh borhood."
