Poker in Hand.

We lived in the fiat above our land

habit of going on motor trips every
Sunday. So one Sunday we were
rather surprised TO hear peculiar
grinding noise In what seemed to US
to be their kitchen. AS my husband
was not presentable, / grabbed up the
poker, for I felt sure 1t was some one
trying to break in, and bravely ran
down to the front door and rang the
door bell. I thought they would hear
the bell ring and be frightened away.
Imagine my embarrassment when. the
door OF the fiat opened and the land
lord stepped out and caught me with
the appraised poker in my hand. When
finally got through explaining he
merely informed me that the noise
was caused by the grinding Of his
coz "a mill Chicago Tribsze
