Alma Brunhilda was being

depart nightly, she would always
trip lightly and hurriedly up the
stairs. but her mother would be
standing IN the bedroom doorway
and would always dart suspicious
glances at her. This went on un-
til Alma felt that 1t was time to
assert herself.
Mother" she said, 'are you
afraid TO leave me alone with Reg.

This was too much for mother.
After . month or 50, however,
she started over. again. Reggie
would lsaye, Alma Brunhilda
would ny up the steps, and there
was ma casting dark looks in her
direction. Again matters came to
O climax. There was only one
thing for her to do.
So she had It bobbed.-Judge.
