Timid Old Soul

My aunt was timid old soul and
was quite afraid of holdups. For safe
keeping she always put her money in
her stocking. One day when she was
going to do some Christmas shopping
she thought she would play a joke on
the holdups, She put the money in her
pocket and carried her purse. In the
purse she put newspaper crumpled up.
She kept her hand in the pocket that
had the purse and walked along mer-
rily. But to her surprise when she
had purchased her needs she reached
for the money, but 1t was missing.
Then, forgetting she reached for her
pocketbook and pulled out the paper
She had to give back all the articles
and walk hone eup.g,handed.--Chica-
