And for some yrs. past now I have
been noticing how true that is, on
account pretty near every time ] and
George, that's my husband, planned
TO get little amusement together.
same was very likely to have over
ture Of words that needed no music.
such as him saying why and the
thunder are YOU always dragging me
Ecme place / don't want to so. you
never do none OF the things I enjoy,
why the heck should ! go TO this darn
party them people bores me to death.
Or some other version OF the soup &
fish blues. as a rule sung by him
while climbing into the open faced
scenery.
Well anyways. the other day some
thing happened which made me rea-
liZe where the reason for these pre-
party fights was partially my fault.
l was putting away our Winter
coats in the cedar chest with a bunch
OF them lovely white moth balls
that generally matches out moths go
good, see. and in one corner of this
chest l come acrost a bundle of let
ters l had once wrote Geo. and Hot
Bozo! I would hate for anybody to
know ! was ever such a fool. what
with some of the things l had ac-
tually put down in writing. And in
pretty near every letter l had ac-
cepted a invite to go some place
with him. mostly to some athletic
event such as "A base ball game or a
track meet

used to go any place Geo. would
suggest and sit through II without
nurmur, and now I had been a self

and little theaters when he had rath-

thing where smoking was permitted.
And SO naturally / at once had
one Of them bursts OF remorse which
any normal wife viii get them oc-

would humble myself and make UP
for all the classical concerts I had
inflicted on the poor dear boy. So
that night when he come home
plunged in quick before / give my
self any chance to weaken.
Say dear I says, this is Spring,
I says. and maybe there is some
base ball game going on someplace,
l says. why don't you take me to
one, You amt done so in a long
while, I says, all smiles.

WELL Geo. looked kinda dazed for
a minute. and then his face
lighted up in a dandy grin. Why,
would you really want to go? he says,
as If he couldn't believe his transform
ers. And l says yes indeed dead, I'd
love to, do take me. I want should
share your pleasures, I says.
And while I says 1t, why. of course,

Well anyways. Geo. at once says
why fine, let's see, the Kats Whiskers
are playing the Harps tomorrow af
ternoon. you come in on the 1920 and
! will meet you for lunch, there will
be a big crowd. l hope you won't
mind if you have to sit in the
bleachers. And I says oh no, not at
all. / have often done it at Pauls
