THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who has grown tired of the snubs
which good many other women have
been putting up with from a certain
eligible man whom they have often
and often invited to dinners and eve
ningS at bridge, and who seldom
takes the trouble either to decline or
to go, unless it just exactly suits him
to do SO. Now a man in his position,
well to do, unattached, and rather
pleasing exteriorly, is needed in many
en- emergency to fill in for a late
excused guest. but he is not the sort
that allows himself to become mere
convenience. So the woman who ex-
pected him when he had said he
would come, and didn't do SO, wrote
him as follows: .''-'
Did she feed him poor dinner?
Did she say something that got his
goat? sseFft'
Ibid her husband say something
wrong?
''Or was it her mother?
'Or didn't he like her friends?
"Or her house?
cor her dog?
''Or her man servant?
cor her mai Il servant?
cor anything that was hers?
"Or was It that she had grown
older?
"Or fatter?
cor stupid?
"Or stupider?
"Or what?'
