company. About twenty people-the
ringside spectators-see the dancing.
It's all in fun. The big butter-and-
eggs man from Muncie is there.
Heavy jowls and bald pate. Having
lot of fun. Wants to put his arms
around every young performer who
comes on. Next week he'll send
them a postal card showing Main

pleasure as he padded flatbottomed

large an angle for approaching
machines as when the right hand
sidewalk is used.
