HARD TIMES

h A portrait painter sat in a French
cafe slipping his wine. His small bot
tile was finished and he was about to
order more when his eyes rested on
a newspaper lying near. He read the
headline, "Hard Times Are Coming"
s'Hard Times" he said, tive must
economize," so instead of calling for
"a fresh bottle he called for his bill.
The landlord, knowing the artists
habits, surprised that the order for
the second bottle was not given him,
approached his customer and said,
r'Not going so soon! Is my wine not
good "
Excellent" said the artists, "but
hard times are coming and / must

"Hard times" said the landlord
and he scratched his head, then he
called his wife. "That new silk dress
you ordered" he said, "you must

buying something cheaper"

You know, must be regarded"
When the artist received this let
ter he went to the cafe. He ordered
small bottle-just enough to
soothe him. Staring at him from a
nearby chair was the newspaper he
had seen two days before. He picked
it up and scanned it more closely and
found that it was two years old.
