can't take you up. You're not allowed
tc sell stuff in the building. Kind Of
hard to turn away an old woman like
that. II 1 had an extra nickel I'd a
bought a pair Of shoe strings. Gee.
I hope my mother never has TO do
that. Wonder when this artist is o
ing to get a haircut? He looks like
Mrs. Kelly's mop. How are you to-
day? That's good. Outside OF that
name he's not a bad chap. You mean

third floor. That guy on the next car
is stalling again. rH stick up here il

sure and shake hands with the buckle
berry pie. It's swell today. I bought
that place today. I thought I'd tell
you, anyway. Hope you have a good
lunch. Not going there, Ell? She's
been a regular for two years., too. I
wonder where she's going today? Bet
it has something to do with that rock
on her finger. Probably going to one
Of those tabledope restaurants. or
whatever you call them. And yet
she seems to be as friendly as ever.
Golly, but I like her.
There's no such firm in the build
ing, sir. I ought to know. I've been
here SIX months. Try next door. You
can't all get in here. Walt for the
next car. Floors, please. Thanks.
Just had some feed. I'll eat 1t later.
Yes love peaches You raise EN-
In the yard? Far be it from me to
knock a man that slips me a nice FAT
peach, but he's dreaming about that
yard thing. He lives In West Fifty
third street, where the farming is done
On fire escapes. Probably wanted tt
chuck a bluff with the people in the
car. Everybody has the hot air habi,
