'Oh, no; I'll bet that's not it at ALL"
said another. 'he looks like a
stranger. He is a Stranger in this
she continued. Won
der if he could be insane. Just watch
him.. she continued. peeping from be-
hind the window shade.
The man reached the curbing and
then carefully, oh, SO carefully, turned
and lifted the buggy down off the
sidewalk into the street and then
slowly moved toward the opposite
curbing, where-he as carefully lifted
1t up and continued his stealthy walk.
He's got that step perfect" raved
one young watcher. That's just the
way want Jack to march when we go
up the aisle and to the altar. But
why does he cover up whatever he has
in that buggy? Oh, know" she ex-
claimed, as a new thought struck her
I'll Just bet he's peddling milk and
covers it up so no one can see what he
is doing"
I'm going out, right now" said one
Of the women, land I'm going to find
out what all this mystery is about
Just watch me-" and she sailed out of
with his eyes, on the ground. slowly
approached her.
Have you any milk to spare this
morning?"
MILK repeated the man. raising
his eyes from off the buggy in front
Of him, maybe, we could spare you
some, tho We only got quart last
night and after you use for coffee and
cereal and the baby, there isn't
much"
II don't want to borrow milk" broke
in the woman, IT want to buy some
Don't you sell milk? Isn't that what
you have in there" and she pointed
to a cloth covered object in the buggy.
GOOD land. no. said the solemn
walking individual. and then with a
twinkle in his eyes, and O. smile on his
face, he explained
You see. we haven't any garage
yet, and since I've been recharging
these batteries, I bring them UP to
the house at night, work on 'em and
then as they're too heavy to carry. I
wheel EN- back down in the morning"
But what makes you walk so
sistently.
Acid, my dear woman. acid" he
answered as he slowly moved on, a
step to a word. "Don't-want-to
spill-the-acid."
Topeka, Kan, June Is, 1921.
Dear Elizabeth: And SO YOU saw
the Topeka man in New York who is
sueing for a divorce and he was all
smiles and looked real happy. Well,
his wife does too. for that matter.
One of the best jokes is going the
rounds here about how a Topeka
woman, who has always "bossed"
around one of her woman relatives,
has been ordered around herself. The
TnYlf fn
tive, who has lived in the east for
several years now, and she gave din
ner for all the Kansas folks and Ter
Topeka guest. This didn't please the
Topeka woman at all, and she didn' t
hesitate to express herself to the ef-
feet that she had come east to see
something else besides lot of Kansas
nobodys. So then the relative had a
dinner at which she invited the Some
bodys of the town and sent the To-
peka woman a little note. telling her
That as she would be crowded that
evening, would she mind not coming
| over? And then th[ Topeka woman
did have a "fit."
I. asked someone the other day
about this letter I write to you every
week, and which some people read
and others promptly skip, inquiring OF
him lit was him) what the persons
who are patient enough to read the
letter would like to hear about. He
ate every bit of news they could read
about somebody's husband running
around with the wife of somebody else
But If attempted to tell you all about
| things like that, I wouldn't write
| about anything else. 1 can't keer
track of who's having a date with
what. It's just like the game we
played when we were children, peach
basket turned over" for 1 no more
than think 1 bave some real gossip
located. than I find out it's nothins
but q summer filtration, and have tC
look elsewhere. What If a married
man takes a married woman down tC
the corner drug store for a soda. and
they aren't married to each other
couldn't the poor woman have an eye
! for thrift and be trying to save hel
husbands hard earned money? Tht
only trouble with that scheme Is tina
more than likely the man whos'
money she is trying to save is dowr
the street several blocks off, saving
another mans hard earned cash, b!
setting up the drinks to his wife.
