THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Whose beau passes her house on
the street car every morning on his
way down town to business. There
is just one place from the girls house
where the car may be seen as 1t
speeds down the track--just one
place where the trees form pathway
for the eager vision of the two. That
particular point of observation and
inspiration is the bathroom window.
The girl takes up her sentinel post
at the window to wait for the car on
which she knows her lover will ride to
the city. She gets all ready for the
brief moment when the car will swing
into sight. Then she leans out and
frantically waves to the man on the
car who is watching as intently as she
is He smiles and raises his hat, and
instantly the car is out of sight, The
little game is repeated the next morn
ing, and thus this touching bathroom
window romance becomes one of the
expected incidents for the passengers
who go down to the eity's toll at a
certain hour on a certain Car six times
n week.

point you want to emphasize?
Do you interrupt another's CONVEX
sation with THAT reminds me- or
by the way?
Do you insist on pointing out every
place Of interest. which is interesting
TO you, but not to a stranger?
Do you talk about mutual acquaint-
anees and then ask your hearers
opinion of them?
Do you chatter on for the sake of
, filling up a silence?
Do you take delight in explaining
/ the why, wherefore and when of
. something in which your companion
may take slight interest?
Do you fill up conversation with
stories OF people whom your audience
does not know, never will know, nor
has any desire to know?
Do you jump at every opportunity
to trace persons family connections
and ancestry to the fourth genera
ton?
Do you read the letters at the
movies for the benefit of the entire
theater?
Do you annoy a concert by beating
