THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who wished to go on a trip to CAL
ifornia a short time ago, but did not
want her 'in-laws," with whom she
was making her home, to know about
it until she was out of town. How
Z
the house when they stayed SO closely
at home was a question which requir-
ed some thought, but finally she work
ed out a scheme which proved very
successful She came down town and
as it got along towards noon stepped
to the telephone and asked her hus-
bands relatives with whom she was
living if they would not come down
town and have lunch with her. They
were perfectly delighted and hastened
to join her at the named tea room. AS
soon as she was sure they were gone
she took a taxi and went after her
clothes. She was well on her way to-
wards the golden state before she in
formed her relatives that she couldn't
keep her luncheon engagement. which
of course. they had discovered. But
now she is back and the fatted calf
has apparently been killed.
