Speaking OF Washburn makes me
think of the WaShburn girl who IS SO
bashful. Two girls here attending
school from out of town have rooms
together. Along about 10 O'Clock Sat
urday morning, the door bell rang and
rang, and as the girls had danced late
the night before, they didn't get up as
readily to answer the bell as they
might have. Finally. the more wide
awake of the two arose, picked up the
laundry bag and threw it out on the
porch, supposing it was the laundry
man, and dropped into bed again. The
bell ran again, and became more IN

door and stuck her head around the
corner and there stood THE MAN
from her home town who had come
down for the weekend. You know.

man who attended in a dress SUIT,
wore an oyercoat which was too short
for his suit and about for or five inches
of his dress suit coat hung from be-
low his overcoat, so his wife fixed him
I'D all nice by pinning the coat ta1iS

then when the man in our town ar
rived at the reception and took off his
IN
pins. He hasn't recovered yet.
