THE OBSER YER Makes Random Observations
 On the City and Its People

cago Limited at least Tommy SAID
 that was about everything that the
 car COULDN'T pass and down near
 New Haven we had the MOST
 THRILLING EXPERIENCE with
 a MOTOR CYCLE COP, my DEAR.
 I mean this COP tried to CATCH us
 and he finally DID and l just
 couldn't HELP laughing at Tommy's
 FACE when he had to pay the cop
 five dollars. I could have
 SCREAMED and Tommy got all
 RED in the FACE and SWORE
 something TERRIBLE about some-
 thing.
 "Well, we got down to the Bowl
 which is called that because 1t looks
 JUST like a BOWL only MUCH
 BIGGER of course with a LOT of
 entrances and we had seats RIGHT
 in the MIDDLE of the CHEERERS
 and I said to Tommy that 1t was
 TOO BAD that we had to be right
 where they were YELLING in your EAR and he got red In the FACE
 again and mumbled something about, these seats costing him TEN DOLLARS APIECE. And I said
 WELL if you're just out to save as
 much MONEY on the affair as you CAN, I said, you can take SOME BODY ELSE. I mean it doesn't do
 these fellows ANY GOOD to let them get the CHEAPEST seats for you where everybody WELLS in your EAR.
 "Well the game was a SCREAM because Tommy was yelling for YALE or SOMEBODY and calling somebody a BIG STIFF and his team LOST and I had to LAUGH to see the LOOK on his FACE when the other team got the winning THROW-DOWN or whatever they call it'and he got RED again and that made me LAUGH MORE and he mumbled something ELSE and THAT made me just SCREAM my DEAR. I mean Tommy is so FUN NY when he gets red in the face and I think he DOES it just to give me big LAUGH.
 And then we went somewhere and DANCED that night and I met that CUTE Eddie fellow that I knew down to the SHORE last summer and I invited him over to OUR table and he was the FUNNI- EST THING, my DEAR, could have DIED laughing at him. He smoked all of Tommys CIGAR BITES and drank all of Tommy's LIQUOR and danced nearly EVERY dance with ME and Tommy sat there like a bump on LOG and didn't say a WORD about 1t so I knew he didn't care so I let this cute EDDIE fellow take me HOME.
 T haven't heard a WORD from Tommy SINCE but I expect he'll call me up to take me to the NEXT GAME because he SAID during the GAME that he had NEVER seen a girl with a SENSE of HUMOR | like mine and I mean it's a GOOD | THING for a fellow to take out a GIRL that LAUGHS at the RIGHT TIMES and knows about the | GAME and doesn't ask FOOLISH l QUESTIONS when everybody is yelling for a FORWARD TACKLE or something like THAT. I mean it I makes a BIG HIT with these COL LEGE FELLOWS to take out ! somebody with a LITTLE SENSE instead of these FLAPPERS that | one sees EVERYWHERE these days"
 The weather is getting on our nerves. Pleasant Sundays have be- come scarcer than honest taxi | meters. Apparently all the weather does is to wake up and look at the calendar beside the bed. find it Is Sunday, and go out to the sink and turn on the rain. Sunday trips are given up or turn into wading expe- ditions. Sunday clothes become mere gobs of pulp. Church-goers take tips | from channel swimmers and cover themselves with grease to keep out the wet cold. The motorboat is succeeding the automobile on state and may shortly create such traffic problem that sub chasers will have to be purchased for the state police. Hikers in the great outdoors wear diving suits. And the company with which the Britains take out rain in- surance is on the verge of bank ruptcy.
 Saturday Is dry, except for liquid at the football games and after. Monday is beautiful. But
