| A Topeka woman with a sense of
humor that allows her to enjoy a
| Joke even when it is at her own eX-
pense, is telling this one:
| She was off on a little trip recently,
and as the train stood on the track
waiting to leave, another Topeka
woman. whom she knew, entered with
her two young daughters. The girls
were going away, too, and the mother
asked the other woman to look after
| them a bit, She readily promised TO
do this understanding that their
berth was just above hers, where it
would be easy enough to keep an eye
on Them The three of them went to
the dressing room at bedtime and the
| girls returned to the car and entered
| their Pullman first. Presently the
woman came in and crawled into her
berth. In a few minutes a bare foot
was thrust over the side of the upper
berth, and to tease the girls. the
woman reached up and tickled the
protruding member. 1t was hastily
withdrawn, whereupon a suppressed
giggle burst from the bed across the
aisle.
The woman looked across and saw
her two protegees peeping at her thru
I the curtains. The next morning, a
pair of square-toed, heavy soled shoes
| stepped from the upper berth, fol-
lowed by a pair of neat grey trousers;
| the back of a short business coat next
came down the ladder. Our heroine
waited for no more, but turned her
70 n
der her breath. AS soon as the great
horried man was well down the aisle
she SHE'D out to the dressing room
and from there she sneaked into the
| diner when she thought everyone else
had had time to finish breakfast, and
then back to her lair in the dressing
room until her own getting off place
was reached
The Modern Lace club entertained
