8. They can't keep step.

A parade is no place for a six-month-

parade than TO be in one. because then
one gets chance to see all OF the
relatives of the people who work in

finding out just what the inside OF his
daily prison Is like: what places may
be seen from the windows; what the
stenographer looks like; how often his
partners wife comes up to the office,
and how often you can pull the same
stunt; and lots OF other things too
numerous to mention here.
The skirts aren't as short this year
as people think they are. or else the
general sense of modesty has been
lowered a degree or two.
Refined women and children can keep
step Just as well as rough. uncouth
men, and 1t doesn't seem to hurt them
Some people never know what they
want to do until they see somebody
else doing It.
The quietest man in the office is al
ways the one who confesses to a desire
to dance. opposite the parade. down the
line OF march. in time to the music, un-
til the police stop him:
