"""""""""'""""'" I wear to keep up the tone of the office
 "Of course I'll admit some Paris styles go too far. l seen where ar editor says the present styles are re. sponsible for much sickness among women. We'll, take it from me, many a man has taken turn for the worst when a woman in a demi-tasse skirt passed him on the street.
 These doctors make me sick. ] remember when they used to criti- else long skirts and said that they trailed on the ground and picked up all sorts of germs. We'll, you've got to admit that germ has got to be high jumper to connect with any skirt these days. The only germ that has chance is a leper germ. :. "Of course there's a limit to all things. The skirt has gone high enough. If they go any higher the girls will have to wear their garters over their shoulders, that's all. "But what I'm saying is that it ain't the mems place to do the yell ling. The women have sense enough to know what to wear and the men should keep out of it. Believe me, no woman could dress silly enough to look as crazy to man as the aver age man looks to a woman, no mat ter what he wears"
 Hello - hello - Is that you, Bess :? Whats that? Tired? We'll, I'll say,
 yes!
 Truly, my dear, I'm so near dead l fear I'm going off my head! 1 sure am glad that Lent is here, And I'm paid up" for all the year. l tell you, dear, I'll have to rest Or 1 surely will be going "west." Soon's I get them all done up I'll bring your napkins and your cup How's that? What? You're in no
 hurry?
 l know - but they're sort of worry; And then I really want to tell You all about that Mrs. Pell = What? Yes, I know, said I wouldn't But really, dear, you know l couldn't Ignore her so and ask her friend, Who has such gorgeous things to lend. What? - l can't believe = did she
 say that?
 l always knew she was a cat! We'll, anyway, they're all returned And I've another lesson learned! Whats that !? We'll now, that's sweet of you,
 And, really dear, thought so too; l didn't see 'mong all the fifty A gown that looked to me more nifty: And wasn't the lucky thing To be the first of all to spring That new and stunning Mrs. Airy - She sure's all style - tho rather
 darcy"
 l most forgot hello - hello = You, Bess? - This phone provokes There's always someone on the line They sure have got an awful rind! You know, that stuck up Mrs. Snobb Sure showed herself to all the mob; The way she tried bout folks to quiz 1 wonder who she thinks she is? And did you notice Mrs. Wise - How hard she played to win the
 prize?
 Whats that? Oh, yes, it's simply
 horrid
 The way she wears it on her fore
 head!
 What? Oh, no, they weren't hard, l always fry them all in lard. Oh dear, that ringing makes me dig
 zy -
 Why can't they tell the line is busy! You know, my dear, the way my John Is acting up and going on, About these parties, is just awful - He says bridge should be unlawful,- That he's not getting a square deal- Nor for that matter square meal But even that is not the question: He says, it's running my digestion The way we eat this salad junk - To him it certainly is the bunk! tried to tell him no use raving, And show him that we're really sav-
 ing,
 But all he says, Instead of pills I'd rather pay some grocery bills" Now isn't that just like man! Sometimes wonder how can Put up with him and all his talk! Some day he'll find I'm going to balk! Hello - what's that? 1 talk all day? Whats that to you? Guess I payi Of all the nerve! Bess, did you hear? He'd better get himself in gear! Say didn't you think that Mrs. Saver Had dandy cakes? = But, oh, the
 flavor
 That she had spilled in her icecream Came by the yard or by the ream! What? Yes, didn't she boil and bub- And when her partner said she would
 redouble - And when they lost = oh, just wish You'd heard her say, "You poor fishp Whats that? What? Your roast is
 burning?
 All it needs, my dear, perhaps is
 turning.
 But, anyway, I haven't time To talk this morning; it's a crime The work I have to do = but think I'll take enough to make that gink Of mine big fat cherry pie . So that's all, my dear, for now.
