The lady phrenologist looked over the rims of her bi-focals impatiently. A man patient always made her impatient. Besides, he was the second that week. It was beginning to get on her nerves. Frowningly, she closed her book of "Contusions and Their Effect on the Shape of the Head7'

 Well doctor, I've come to see about my daughter. She is IS years of age now, and ever since sine was a week cid she has been unable to remember
 "Hum-m! Sounds like sassafritis,' murmured Dr. Bumps, diagnosically. "Go on."
 Now, she wishes to get a position and every place she goes they fire her because of this pecularity-I might say infirmity."
