cleaning the car was really and truly a
waist. 1t was one if her best georgette
blouses, which had been 1aundered and
rolled up ready to iron.
There's a man in our town, Eliza
beth, who is making his best efforts
to get hold Of all of a set of snap shots
which he once took. Each time he
secured a few pictures and thinks he
has cornered them all, then he will
run across another, hidden away in
some ones book of camera pictures.
Several years before the war the man
went on picnic and took some very
sentimental pictures, a girl in bath
ing suit figuring largely in the set.
Well he married, but not the bathing
suit girl, and went to war. While he
was gone the fellows at his office
found the films in his desk, had them
printed and mailed them to his wife.
The man got hold of them first and
since then whenever he and his wife
go out to dinner and someone sug-
gests looking at the snap shots, he
usually manages to change the SUBJ
ject.
Hurry home, we're all waiting for
you.
