The past few days the powers that
be have been running a car on the
Oakland line which makes terrible
noise. 1t is the kind of a noise which
prevents a comfortable conversational
tone of voice. The noise bears a
strong resemblance to the noise made
by a fog horn and the racket which
father makes in the winter when he
banks the furnace for the night. Last
night @ young couple were on the car.
They had two new suitcases. The
feminine member of the partnership
wore Sc nice new band ring on her left
hand. Occasionally a grain of rice
would slip out from under the groom's
hatband and slide off his shoulders to
the floor. The couple looked at each
other and grinned and then the little
bride began to giggle. Sure is funny"
those near her heard her say to her
husband, even this old car is trying
it's hand at charivari-ing!" BY that
time everyone in the car had caught
on" and then the teasing and noise
making really began in earnest
