We have heard complaint or two
that we have missed the going and
comings of some Of our neighbors,
but we didn't do it on purpose. We
make frantic rush after every trunk
and suitcase we see, and keep our
ears open to hear everything that
anybody says, but once in while
some strong hearted mortal ejacu-
lates, "be careful, she'll put 1t in the
paper" so We have to do the best
we can, and we would greatly appre-
ciate 1t If you would stop us and tell
us all you know, and If you are 60
ing anywhere or been there, or com
ing back, We are easy to recognize,
being short and fat and rather stun
py, with gray, green eyes and our
chestnut locks are somewhat scant
and faded in streaks. You'll know
us when you see us, and We always
carry paper and n pencil for news
notes. and our usual morning greet
ing is do you know anything today"
Our phone number is Blue 1853 and
our business hours are from n. m.
until 10 p. M. So please tell us all
about It. II we happen to miss you,
and Wen consider 1t n favor
