challenged the pretty young fapper.
Lee Random looked startled. OF a
sudden he was aware of the fact that
he WAS growing older, ami the
lau ching remark struck him blow
that made his brain reel.
He had been sent to break up the
"love affair" in which the fapper was
indulging at that moment. When he
upbraided her for receiving the at
tentions OF Peyton Morris, she re-
piled that he could not appreciate the
affair because Of his lack Of knowl-
edge on the subject of love.
Random could not overlook the
challenge. At home his wife was
probably EARNING socks at that mo-
ment. She preferred her home and
household duties, anyway, to gayety
and recreation.
