not long ago. She was driving sooH ss'1
looking little runabout with much ski,
and ease through the traffic on broau
street. Her dress was white WIN u
flower design in dark blue. that covered
it vet didn't make it look all blue iler
hat was wide brimmed one of dark
blue soft straw, with big white flowers
around the crown.
WELL, ! saw a practical demonstra-
w ton of democracy as the outcome
of the wars associations for the boys a
few days ago. It was at Sixteenth ana
Chestnut streets, and the traffic across
Chestnut was held up for while TO
let the cars and autos go down the
street.
Naturally. was held up too, and
lust in front of me was hugo garbage
wagon, On the box of the wagon sat
n strong. healthy looking young fellow
in working clothes (he was driving the
cart, you know but on his head was
the round white cap worn by the re-
serves. As | looked at him smart
looking auto drove up back of him and
then pushed along forward next to the
wagon. In the car were four young
men, two of whom | knew. They were
in golf clothes and had their clubs in
their bags with them.
Suddenly one looked up to our young
driver perched on his garbage cart and
exclaimed Hello, lack, how's the
boy?' Whereupon Jack turned and
called out: "WhN it's Bill. where re
you bound?' "Off to the shore for the
Fourth. How are things?' Fine"
called Jack us he lashed his horse and
drove on.
And l had known the time when said
Bill was one fearful snob.
