TO BEATRICE GRIMSHAW
SUMMERS

DEAR BEE:
l was so glad to get your letter
and know that you are SO happy in
your new home. Of course you
would be happy during your honey
moon. remember that glorious
first few months with Sam, after our
marriage, and l never expect to ex-
perience such delirous happiness.
At first, to come home from the
office and hurry to get some kind of
pickup dinner was joy, especially
as Sam was always hanging around
the kitchen making love to me and
clumsily trying to help. But after a
little found my poor physical ma
chinery rebelled at the overhours it
was made to work. 1t did not take
into any consideration that the ex-
ira time was given to labor of love
Labor was labor to it, and nothing
else.
More and more often l got the din
ner in paper bags and receptacles
from the dclicatessen on my way
home. More and more often / neg
lected even to remove the contents
of these paper bags to some of my
dainty china. More and more often
we ate catch as-catch-c dinner
from these same paper bags, until
Sam rebelled at having to get his
ham and potato salad and other time
honored daintics of the hurried
housewife from the corner grocery.
Then we tried going out for our
dinners, but after reaching home we
found usually we were too tired to
do this. In little while I was eat
ing my paper bag dinner in solitary
state and usually adding to it the
salt of my tears, while Sam, on a
plea of business, stayed down town
until eight o'clock or after, and he
usually came home with a liquor
laden breath.
OF course this will never happen
to you. Bee, ensconced in your beau
tiful hilltop home with nothing to

New York, Sept. 18.-Williard
Huntington Wright, an author who
writes of the latest happenings in
New York hasn't been out of his
quarters in an uptown hotel for more
than a year. He Is ILL.,.
Yet, each day he keeps in complete
touch with the world that swirls
about him. 1t would seem he would
be dependent on numerous friends to
supply him with the latest foibles Of
tickle New York public. But he
isn't.
His only human contacts are bell
boys, walters, chambermaids and an
assistant manager of the hotel in
which he lives. He refuses to see all
others and is consistently emphatic
in his refusals to make new friends.
He is married but his wife and child
live in California.
Wright reads every newspaper and
practically every important and
recognized publication. In this fash
ion he freshens his mind with the
worlds doings. ~
Although he has not attended a
theatre or concert in many months
he is familiar with all current music
through a talking machine. He buys
and plays all the photograph records.
Systematically efficient in every
thing he does. Wright works many
hours day. Just now he is in the
midst of three novels, am told. Two
of them deal with highly technical
subjects and the third, a mystery
story, is being sandwiched between
| them.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

One day Mrs. Woodchuck came
waddling into Nancy, Nick & Com
panys store and asked if Mister
Snip Snap, the fairyman, was there.
Eyes, madam" said Nick politely.
"Please sit down and I'll call him"
So Mrs. Woodchuck sat down, but
she kept tapping her foot on the
floor, and that showed that she
must be pretty much upset about
something.
"How do you do, Mrs. Wood
chuck" said Mister Snip Snap, COM
ing from the back of the store where
he had been making pair of pink
pajamas for Mister Ringtail Coon.
"Well, l don't do as you do" said
Mrs. Woodchuck Grossly. II don't
sell people things that shrink"
"Why, Mrs. Woodchuck," said
Mister Snip Snap. II never did
such a thing in my life. wouldn't
do such a thing. You can ask Mrs.
Frog and Mrs. Turtle. They ought
to know, for their children are al
ways in the water"
II don't care" said Mrs. Wood
chuck. "Wally's new suit has
shrunk so that it won't button on
him at all. The buttons are about
two inches away from the button
holes"
That's very queer" said Nancy
because it did fit him just fine the
day you bought it."
"Well, we like our customers to
be satisfied" said Mister Snip Snap
$50 bring it back, Mrs. Woodchuck
by all means. And if it is tight as
you say. / shall be glad to give you
a brand-new suit for Wally."
This put Mrs. Woodchuck into
better humor.
"That's ever so kind of you, Mis-
ter Snap Snap" she beamed. "And
I'm much obliged, I'm sure"
Away she went, and by and by
back she came with Wally and q
bundle.
"Now I'll just show you how much
the suit has shrunk, Mister Snip
Snap" she said. "Stand up, Wally
and put it on"
Wally put his suit on, and 10 and
behold, it fitted like boxing glove

because of his health.
A man came out of the West to
conquer the printing business in
New York.
Starting with a one-room print
shop not so many years ago his
plants now occupy two city blocks in
Chicago, his home.
John F. Cuneo is the man.
He is the son of q wealthy whole
sale fruit merchant-but he, worked
out his own business salvation.
He prints 100000 magazines
each month, not to mention books
and the catalogue Of large mail or
der house. -,
Cuneo, regarded as the biggest in
dividual periodical publisher in the
world in only 80 years old.
He is blonde and good natured,
| possessed of the most disarming
smile you ever saw, and is single.
The many little soft drink places
perfectly legitimate shops-that
have followed in the wake of prohi-
bition, have stolen trick from the
old corner saloon.

goblet of the cows famous product,

four per cent beer of yesteryear.
If you let it settle a moment the
air bubbles out and you have an inch

TEXAS AND THE WOMAN

 And a woman, a skilled housekeep- CT, is operating the ladle. She threat Ku Klux Kan fellow who gets in the way. She is running for governor and has a good chance of landing the job.
 She is Mrs. Miriam Ferguson, wife of the former governor who stepped from office rather than face impeach- ment. It was his second term and in 1917 he got into a heated row-all rows are heated in Tcxas-with the state university. He objected to people who he said were "hog wild about higher education"
 ne supreme COuil Itiu uSiu tp lEt him run for governor this year, so his wife is running for him. At the Democratic primary last July she poll cd 145,oOO votes. against 191,0o0 for Judge Felix D. Robertson, who is said 10 be the Kan candidate. There was string Of other candidates receiving fewer votes and according to the Texas law, there will be d run-oI be- tween the two highest candidates next Saturday. Should the woman win the nomination 1t will be equivalent 10 election.
 Jim" Ferguson. the ex-governor. does most of the talking for his wife's candidacy. The crowd tells him to pour it on 'em," and Jim pours.
 The language being used by stump sneakers does entire justice 10 the cherished traditions of Texas. EN- Governor Colquitt told where if the Klan gets into power ''it will be the big cucumber thpt will give us all the heilyache." L~a Pierson allows that
