CRAFTSMAN VS.. CRAWFORD

BRADSHAW VS.. CRAWFORD
Sir: Do you by any chance know
this Mr.. Crawford?
Or this Mr.. Crabshawi
You should. decidedly. The current
issue Of Judge" makes evident that
between them the Crawford and Crab
shaw families hold the wise cracking

Right on page one, in the second
column, beneath the picture Of two
ladies in underwear. the Crawford
BRADSHAW team spikes you with this
one:
Crawford-what DO you think o. Conan
Doyis's description OF Paradlse7
Crabshaw-Just Ike popular author
to give Us happy ending.
Not so goods All right, but wait.
On the same page, top third column,

Neither is the sharp edge Of the family
wit carried alone by the male members
OF the clan. On page twcnty-four Of
the same issue:

Crawford and Mrs. BRADSHAW are on
"The Suns" staff and their husbands
work for Judge" Also, II appears on
page twenty-five that Mrs. Crabshaw is
somewhat Of a gadabout:
Mrs crabshsw-so you're IN favor Of
Jazz
Mrs. Nowreh-Indeed 7 am. when you
have an entertainment now all the neigh
borhood knows that you're giving IT.

!, personally, am all worked up about
this. Who are these peoplel Does
Mrs. Crawford know Mrs. Newrich, too,
or has Mrs. BRADSHAW refused TO intro
duce heri How come the Crabshaws
and the Crawfords are always togetheri
Is ii due, do you suppose, TO the fact
that their work throws them into each
others eomphnionship. or is IL COM
munity Of interests which has led 10
this beautiful friendshipl
Couldn't Judge" be persuaded TO
