" that famous song entitled
"A How Dry l AMI" often re-
4 4 marked in passing, "A bud of
garlic a day keeps the mash
ers away"
And how many ladies that has to
go out alone evenings could do it in
perfect safet'' if only they would heed
this great truth! You mighty seldom
hear of a murdered lady that has been
eating garlic, or one whose boy friend
gets jealous of her, if he knows what
she has on her breath.
While as for jealous American
husbands, it certainly would be quite
idea for them to get the bride to
eat a garlic a day. Then the groom
could wear a gas mask when they
went out in public together and his
mind would be perfec|lv at rest so
far as other men was concerned.
This all come to me one night when
l and George, that's my husband,
had been in the city all day. he in his
office earning money, and | in the
department stores also making money
making 1t go as far as possible, if
YOU get what l mean. In other words
was charging everything l bought,
SOS the money would go at the end
of the month, which was still quite a
long ways off.
Well anyways, by the time I had
been through every department, Hot
Bozoi if it wasn't prc' near train
time. So I telephoned Geo. and sa~s
say dear | got a few more G. o. D. IS,
+. 0. BIS and B. V. DIS to get, do
you mind if we eat in town tonight?
And Geo. says Oh My! or the mas
culine equivalent but I wouldn't re-
peat it myself, well, Oh Ny! says
George 1 suppose we will haf to,
what in the world have you been
doing all this time that you amt
through yet, here I am as tired as a
dog. And 1 says which dog? Dog
gone or hot-dog? And he says aw
hush up, meet me at Jelkus Restau-
rant and We'll catch the seven-forty-
five, after dinner
Well, l says yes dear, sweetly. and
hung up, but inwardly I thought to
myself. we may catch the seven
forty-flve but not unless we take some
salt from Jelkus' place to put on its
fal-fght! And then 1 got a evening
paper and looked up the shows. now
that / had Geo. committed to staying
in town.
There was one called "a Bees
Irish Rose" or something. I'd heard
1t was a grand nature play, and I
thought where this would certainly
be a good chance TO see it. So first
thing, after l met George and we had
soup, pulled the trap on the theatre

but nothing doing. So in a few min
utes there was silence between the
two of us except for the sound of the
soup, and we was enjoying the meal

and grabbing his napkin in one hand
exactly as if it belonged to him, got
up and come over to our trough.
Well well, he says, If it amt Jennie
Wren, as I'm alive! Well well, Jen-
ME, how are you?
Naturally I give the bird one look
and at first 1 couldn't imagine who
was he, and then in a minute I didn't
hat TO imagine, I knew. And / let
out holler. Well of all people, If it
amt Eddie Ellis! says, why Eddie of
all people! Why I'd of known you

He give a toothpaste grin at that,
and threw out his chest. Same to

amt changed a mite, Jennie, since
them old days UP in Swishicossette
Lake-remember, eh? hal hal
Well, about then George says ah,
ahem! You might introduce me. And
1 says why pardon me dear, of
course, / pretty near forgot, 1 was so
excited seeing Eddie, here. This is

speak of. And George with a lot of
reverse English, says ah SO, Delight
