met an old gypsy woman.
She was very, very old. indeed. and
very. very wise. as is BETTING an old

gypsy for her kind words,

By FAY KING.

I believe it's usually the custom
to deny q rumOr after II gets
started, but In my case j want to
deny II before 1t gets into circu.
lation.
Now II you should hear that
anybody took shot at me, there
is 10 truth In the report at all. In
fact. there was no report-gun or
otherwise.
Although I'd like to go cunning
after the guy that Is the-weil. ]
might say innocent, but I won't
cause OF Il all.
You see it's this way:
On my new hat there Is q black
satin ribbon that extends out I'm
two donkey cared bows on the side.
However, the donkey cared bow
didn't influence my selection at the
time, but I appreciated their sig.
nificance when ] reconsidered the
price.
Well, 10 get back to the gist of
my story, which Is gist this--in
one of these ears" Is q nice,
round hole about the size Of
thirty two. Now out In my part Of
the country when q person goes
around with q hole the size OF n
bullet I'm his hat, it's as good as
medal.
IL strikes me that maybe some
folks, seeing daylight threw the
trimmings Of my hat, will figure
that maybe I'm wearing II be-
cause ] am proud Of the fact that
somebody took a shot at me and
missed me that much.
Now I don't want to claim any
mOse credit than deserve. and
the fact OF the matter Is that
where there Ii room for rumor
I feel IL Is up to me 10 bow my.
self off the platform and out of
the spotlight with rs much grace
as possible, because Il amt any
bullet that made that hole in
my hat, although some bullet
headed fellow Is to blame for IL.
It'S like this.
I got In the elevator the other
day. and by the way II was the
first day was breaking In the
new lid, and being q short. In
