RAPID LIFE IN WINDY CITY
According to New York Woman's
Story Its Reputation Has Basis
other Than Humorous.

There is New York woman who
goes twice year to Chicago with her
husband, when the latter makes peri
odical business trips. They always
stay at the same hotel-a large though
quiet house, which gets a good deal
of Chicago and Illinois trade. The
New Workers have come to be known
to the woman housekeeper of the
hotel. They have just returned from
their latest journey to the city by
Lake Michigan, and this is what Mrs
New Yorker says:
Il always used to think that the
humorous paragraphs in the papers
dealing with the frequency of Chi
cago divorces were jokes, but know
now they have solid basis of fact.
The reason? Because when we were
in Chicago this time the housekeeper
of the hotel said to me: I'm so glad
to see you back again, ma'am. And
you know-if you'll excuse me saying
it-you're the only lady that comes
back here year after year with the
same husband New York Times.

Far above the high-backed pew the
preachers voice intones the Easter
text.
Stretch as she may her fat little
