about Francis Eyre (his full name is
Francis Beverley Eyre, Jr.. by the
way). He seems TO be extremely we'll
liked BY the men and that always Is
rood. When men like a man he's

pecially when they say, "Oh, he's n

IT'S wonderful how we all love to
L tease and how we never miss an
opportunity to do IL when possible. Let
me tell you of predicament which a
certain young man whom you know and
I know, and a certain young woman
whom we also know, found themselves
In one day not so very long ago. You
ser II was this way: Said young man
had q f1ivvcr. He had also a mother
who wanted two suitcascs taken into
town. and he had also a girl whom he
had asked to drive into town with him
that day. Well he put the suitcases
into the back of the car and the girl
into the front alongside Of him and
they started of into town, and had gone
Just a short way when whirr-and
stalled was said car and there they were
he. she. the suitcases and the car.
And as the girl told me: Every one
we ever knew or had even been intro
passed by. smiled. bowed, saw the
suitcascs. saw us. then began to laugh
and said: Well. it's too bad, just after
you had gotten on the way. all risht. -
The beauty Of 1t was that everyone
knew they were awfully good friends,
but not at all inclined to eloping to :
sethcr and so the story did not spread
very far. but II was certainly circum =
stantial evidence, wasn't il?
