The treatment Of bunions is often

often not at all good.

Stories of the Streets and of the Town
BY O. H. BARNHILL

She was young and pretty-and
bashful-and from the country-and
she sat in the Interurban goo-goo
seat--so called because-it is in one
of the front corners OF the car--and
the driver must look sideways---at
the person in the seat-because if
he turned his head-the car might
run off the pavement--and smash
everybody to smithereens.
The driver was neither young nor
pretty--nor bashful-nor from the
country. The girl blushed-and
wiggled and giggled--and looked out
of the window-because she couldn't
help it.
The car stopped at Phoenix
think II was Phoenix-but maybe it
was only-a wide place in the road.
Anyhow man and his wife-and
five small children-entered the
crowded car. Each of the front pas
sengers got a baby-to hold on his or
her lap-including the girl ID the
goo-goo seat-who buried her blush
ing face-in the child's golden curls
stealing a look--ever and anon
and sometimes oftener--at the driver
who was neither young nor pretty
nor bashful-nor from the coun-
try.
