Don't you think these modern
dances are perfectly disgust
ing?"
Poor Ikey looked reproachful-
ly at the old lady a second, then
with gathering astonishment
he slid silently off the chair and
struck the floor with a bump.
Aunt Martha was so ratified
over this unexpected effort on
Mr.. Schwartz's part that she
upset her coffee and Ikey got
most of it in the back Of his
neck.
When peace was finally re-
stored the old lady came to the
surface with an envelope which
had been lying on the table
near her plate.
SIS this your letter, John?'
she asked, and then arranging
her glasses, read with great de-
liberation: "Mr. l. Schwartz,
Tango Teacher, care of Kun

Peaches and Alice went into
the ice business right away

Aunt Martha in panied sur

Bunch and finally focused a
steady beam of interrogation
upon the countenance of Mr.
Schwartz.
lkey never whimpered.

said quickly, and Ikey was wise
to the tip in a minute.

"Mr. Schwartz's affliction is
terrible" she said with a chill
in every word. "How did you
converse with him before our
arrival?"
ooh, he understands the lip
language and can talk back on
his fingers" l hastened to ex-
plain, looking hard at Ikey,
whose mask-like face gave no
token that he understood what
was going on.
