out there and did. The place did
not look az II it had been used
much.
When we were leaving. after the
lights had been blown out, he said,
Look out for snakes. girls. Natur-

evening in question
When my friend left for FL Paso

who had a bad cold. said he would

I suggested I call up my husband and
ask him TO come down to dinner.
Kennedy said that while I was tele-

II have wondered whether Burch.
in the hotel across the street, was
watching me all during the time.
Kennedy returned finally and
took me to dinner before taking me
home. I never knew anything about
his love affairs and never heard Of
Madalynne Obenchain until after
his death.
He did however, talk about love
and asked me a good many ques-

whether I thought love could last

Croton bugs are very well in

You can never become very con-

Anybody who owns a woolly dog
attracts about as much attention
in the neighborhood as a woman

The buffalo is an ideal pet to
keep In an apartment. He Is
easily trained to chase burglars,
and when you 60 out on Sunday
morning leading your buffalo at
the end of a rope the men with
dogs will attract no attention
whatever. Those who have tried
goats or alligators will find the
buffalo a distinct improvement,
and IL you have q pet buffalo you
will command considerable respect
in the neighborhood.
