her husband transporting the clothes
to and from home. One night he start
ell with d big bundle Of freshly washed
clothing. 1t had been raining and
there were puddles alolrg the street.
The, unfortunate man slipped, the
bundle hit the street, opened up, and
Its contents went into a mud puddle.
Needless to say, he couldn't deliver
the wash, and he hated to take it
back home. But he was. forced to
'.face the music."'
A week later the colored man
showed up at the. Dinwiddie holne
with the clothes spick and span. The
family, of course, had found out what
had delayed their wash and We're pre-
