From The Current Wave, published
at Eminence, Mo-: "Alberta Claire
writes The Wave a letter and takes
umbrage,a at an article recently appear
ing in this paper abiding to the news
paper notoriety given her for her gal
livanting over the country and saying
a few complimentary words in behalf
of Missouri girls. Alberta thinks we
are peeved because she didn't include
Eminence in her route, and intimates
that it is her own business if she
chooses to gallivantc We didn't OBJ
ject to the dear girl gallivanting, but
expressed our views as to the news
paper space wasted on the subject.
Eminence not being on the chautau-
qua route is used to missed notables
who travel at the expense of the gull
lible, hence we must not be consider
ed as peeved because Alberta and Bud
passed is up; our loss is her gain. Al
berta further intimates that we were
not polite or elegant in our diction.
Now that hurts us much, for we aimed
to be elegant, excruciatingly so, and
such unfeeling criticism of our Ian
guage is a sad blow to us. Oh, ALDER
ia, how could you be SO unkind? II
we ever say anything-more about you
or Bud we will express it i great gobs
of elegance and have it elegantly
bound and sent with al elegant bou-
quet of roses to you'll you will forgive
our past i~nelegance."
