replied. - ever see 'em refuso2"
Nope" and the dispenser mixed up
q matted milk for rotund person
with black cigar and n crouch.
Where J. take 'er { eat?" asked
the soda jerker as he placed the

jerker remarked.

he hurled his hands toward the ceiling |
registering absolute despair. she
ordered, then ordered some more.
Finally she got down to pie and coffee.
Said she to the waiter I want some
strawberry pie la mode and a cup |
of coffee with whipped cream"
'She did ?" from the soda sharp.
"Yeb. bu5 she didn't get IT," was
the youths reply. Waiter says |,

youth said as he started for the street.

glasses. and the crash of two glasses |
against the tile floor did not interrupt |
him in his attempt to whistle 'Pretty
Baby with variations.
