most to do with a.

pass the palm TO Charles A.

Duncan snapped him up. Reynolds

would never have any doubt about
the sincere wish OF the men TO end
the strike quickly on any fair basis.

they could TO interest Secretary OF

Mrs. BlimmOns had prepared an un
usually nice supper that night. She
had seen to that beforehand. Always
when Mrs. Blimmons had something
on her mind that she had to tell
Henry, she had something especially
nice for supper. Mrs. Blimmons had
been married a number of years
Watching her husband closely, she
decided to wait until after supper
before she told him. Time enough
then, she reasoned.
The house was getting nice and
warm by now, and Mr.. Blimmons
seated in his favOrite chair with a
cigar and the evening paper. was per.

cleared the table and washed the
dishes, sat down on the opposite side
of the table and nervously took from
the front of her shirtwaist a much
creased envelope and with the remark
that here was something which came
today" she handed it across the table
to Henry. It was a bill from a local
department store for her winter suit
hat, furs and a few other little things
and it was much larger than Mrs
Blimmons had had any idea Of.
"Umph" said Mr.. Blimmons. taking
the cigar out of his mouth 10 knock
the ashes off. "Umph! Well old girl
