Poetess Joins Ranks Of
Lights Classified
Fun Seekers.

Like the Old Woman who lived in a
shoe,
I've found so many quips, / don't
know what to do:
So I've cut them all out and here you
will see,
What I've tried to do just to earn q
small fee.
Well, well. folks, we've a real poet
ess in our Quips family now. The
above little jingle is the way Mrs.
Will Glover OF Uvalde begins her nice
letter to the Quips Editor.
We've been expecting it. You know
no one can escape the poetic turn OF
mind. We all have poetic spells,
when flowers are the fairest and skies
are blue and faces fair and hearts are
true-There. even the Quips Editor is
waxing poetical.
WELCOME TO FAMILY.
But we are glad to welcome Mrs.
Glover's entrance into the Quips fam
lily, seekers after joy and humor
among the CLASSIFIED Ads in The
Light, San Antonio's great family
newspaper which goes into so many
South Texas homes.
And the Quips Editor is happy also
to be able to award one of Mrs. Glov.
er's quips a dollar bill. As she lives
in Uvalde, the Quips Editor is mail
ing the dollar to Mrs. Glover and
hopes it will help swell the holiday
fund and add to her joy on that occa-
sion.
Mrs. Glover sends the following
quip:
HOW MANY GIRLS?
WANTED-A white or Mexican girl for
general housework; want them to live
on place and one that can milk a COW.
Mrs. Glover asks how many girls
does the ad refer TO when it says
them" in one place and zone, to
milk the COW in another? The writer
of the ad undoubtedly desired to en-
ploy but one girl, Mrs. Glover, but
maybe the proof reader didn't do his
work well that dag and the numbers
got mixed in the ad.
I'm an old lady but have Joined
the merry crowd" writes Mrs. F.. -.
Willis, ASS Santa Clara street, to the
Quips Editor.
She submits the following which the
Quips Editor awards u one dollar bill.
Call at the Classified Department OF
The Light, Mrs. Willis. and receive
the dollar bill. It's waiting for you.
DOLLAR FOR HER.

ribbons. $40 for each, etc. Will ship

Mrs. Willis thinks a plain crate for
shipping would do just as well as one
beautifully marked
We know. Of course. the owner of
those fine pups wasn't referring 10
the crate. He was talking about the
dogs and they are beauties, too, and
would make some child n wonderful
Christmas gift. A good dog is Won
derful friend.
Anyhow, Mrs. Willis has discov.
cred a quip and the dollar is hers
when she calls for it.

He sends us the following: oe'

writer meant. But anyhow your

The Quips Editor wants TO call at
iention to the fact that the ladies are
better quip writers than the men, OF
at least it would seem so. because
they are winning more dollar bills
Get busy. fellows, don't let the girls
find all the quips.
