A MAN and his obvious wife were
"A picking their way across a torn
up street that had reached the wet
tar stage.
He was portly with double chin.
She was a tagged out little thing with
lines between her eyes. She carried
a market basket and the family
umbrella. He was weighted down
with a cane which he ticked to ac-
cent his remarks:
IF the people Of this town had any
spunk they'd kick at an outrage like
this. There isn't even plank to
walk on. And It's the same thing
all over the city; they're either tear
ing up tracks or tearing down houses
or running sewer pipes or rearing Of

And to a second woman who was
tipping behind 1t seemed as II the
man who was demanding considera-
tion from our city fathers might have
shown a little himself by relieving
his wife of either the umbrella or the
basket
Still, If the wife had been called on

have expressed contemptuous pity
for any poor single woman who
lacked a portly husband with a dou-
bic deck chin.
