Evening star., 1921-09-11

was the idear and she says she had
some thing to tell me but she was
SCARED to tell me SO l told her 10
hurry up and get it of of her enest.
So what do you think she sprung
on me Charley: She says ;ts sne Hass Msu
Dutton and walked passed a piano
store and seen a piano in the window
that was advertised to sell for $1!o.O0
and the reglar price OF that klnd OF
a piano was $25o.00. But they was
selling this 1 cheap because some
body had ordered it and made pay
munt and had it sent out to there
house and then decided they dldent
want 1t and sent it back. SO Grace
says she wanted to buy it:
dident want it they was probily some
thing the matter with 1t and may pe
it was off the key. No she says 1t
was o. K. because Mrs. Dutton set
down and tride it. So says l don't
want Mrs. Dutton hanging round
the house all the vile and they aint
niether l or you or the babys that
can play piano SO what good would
1t be to us. So she says she or the
babys could lern on it. Yes l says you
got a lot of time to lern a piano ana as
1ar is the babys is concerned the 1st
thing I want them to learn Is sleep
Rights and get there mouth located at
table.
well she says suppose they wasent
no body to play it it would look good
in the liveing rm. All right 1 says I
know where ! can get a man down
town to paint 1 on the wall for $4,000.
SO she says she knowed 1 would
act that way about it and ! says
Yes. and your pretty lucky to have a
husband that's got some thing under
there hat besides scalp deceases.
So she left the rm. without saying
nothing and thought I would feel
sorry for her and chase after her and
tell her she could buy her old piano
night and play 1t but 1 wasent going
to fall for no sob stuff and when I
says I would keep her money for her
/ ment would keep it and not throw
it away on junk we cant afford let
alone got no use for 1t.
Well Charley tomorrow I'm going
up to the Coliseum to the automo-
bile show and Id rather lay round
headquarters but I promised Alec
Welsh Id go along with him.
Your Bro. F. A. GROSS.
Allison. ILL.,, Jan. "a.
DEAR CHARLEY. Well Charley I
- was up to the automobile show
yesterday and the shows the prettiest
sight seen in long vile and when
I come home I tride to get Grace to
go with me some night and see the
show but shes still sore yet on acct.
of me not leaveing her throw her
money away on piano.
dident have no idear that you
could buy a car as cheap as they got
them for sale now and you can get
a big size passenger car and not
no hivver niether for $3.50. 1t would
be pretty soft to drive to town and
back every day in your car and not
half to patternize them suburban
trains where your lucky to ind rm.
enough for your IT. to stand on let
alone rm. enough to set down unlest
YOU starve your self for few months
1st.
Alec says 1t aint no trick at all to
lern to drive and hes got car that
holds Z passengers and never had no
trouble with it and it don't Cost him
hardley nothing for gasoline and new
tires and etc. and it's only the CRATE
big heavy cars that costs money to
run them and of coarse couldent
afford 1 of them big boys. I wisht
though that Grace wasent such old
grand mother about letting loose Of q
little money on pleasure and would
certainly invest in 1 of them light
cars that don't cost hardley nothing
