The Green-eyed Monster,


Carrie Scott has been separated
from her hubby. Bill Scott, for q
few months. but she goes to see
him at the garage where he works
once in awhile. Bill says he has
no chickens" on the string, but
wifey thought otherwise and al
midnight two weeks ago she went
around there and saw him talking
to one. Instead of investigating
the matter she had some words
with the girl and hubby boxed her
jaws.
The other girl really came to see
someone else and her talk with Bill
was just accidental. Carrie didn't
think so and she was about to shy

wife was too big to be punished
like a child, and on his promise to
quit smacking the court released
him on his personal bonds. An
other smack will cost Bill 100
bones.
There's n Reason.

Henry Smith. or course there was
some cause for all this, as no man
ever gets his head bandaged up for
nothing. A couple Of weeks ago,
Henry was in the same neighborhood
visiting his turtle dove, and being
dressed in the height OF fashion, there
was most naturally some remarks
about him coming from corner loaf

way and so he had visited her there.
A raggedy looking Individual said
