you hear about Mrs. d?
Ny dears. she was walking through Rit-
tenhouse Square and fearful gust.of wind
came and her hat just stood right up on
end on her head and the hatpin nearly fell
out Naturally she raised her arm quickly
to rescle the hat, and. bless yoiG her bag
broke open and out flew thirty five one
dollar bills. brand new ones that she had
Just got from the bank. and they blew all
oyer the square many of them some twenty
feet up in the air. and when YOU remember
the strength Of that wind those last March
days you will realize the truth of this story
when ] tell you that not one of those bills
was found by the owner. They just natu-
rally blew out of reach and sight in less
time than it takes to say Jack Robinson"
Fortunately she was not poor, so it did
not matter so much as It would have to one
who perhaps would have had 10 work hard
