 ed coming home and I got anchored
 right in front of three women The, prattied on dress and gossip all ths way home and had to stand thers l and get 1t all. I co1.dn't move. Fol l Heavens sake, don't you women tall about anything else but that stuff 2 l seWhy, guess we can. when ws | want to-" answered Mrs. Biufkin. sBu, l at that. I don't know as we have any thing on the men. never noticed much highbrow conyersation coming
 W You snd didnt ste ehs Wen. by xo,iy. we don't drivel on for hours about our coats and hats and shoes. And we don't rake our next door neiEhber over the ooaas. either"
 Now. Edward, since you have started this subject, may as well say right now that am good listener and I have absorbed a lot of male conclusion that you are a bunch of Sap heads" snorted Blufl<in.
 That's what se;d, sap heads. baseball and where to go to lunch. You impress me as fearful light s'Lshtweights?" questioned Blufkin. Where did you get that word?"
 '.Oh, I overheard my brother Will use it and he explained the meaning"

 T dunno I think the Red sox are due to grab the bunting this year They look good to me"
 Mrs. Biuf1in whispered to her hus- band. '1 take it that baseball is what those two are talking about. They probably work for one of the clubs"
 They probably jon't," answered hubby.
 ''Well, then. perhaps they have a dear friend or relative in the busi- ness.''
