IN WHICH l GUESS A RIDDLE
Dear Nom: Well the Elks is come to
town and they own it just like l said
they would. My it is wonderful to
see so many fine redblooded gentle
men on the streets all looking like
their pockets couldn't hold their
money. For the manicure business
it is heaven there just amt enough
lady operators to go round a couple
of gents is waiting their turn at each
chair and girl can have all the din
ners and other dates she can take
care of. But l have turned them all
down their compliments don't go with
me at all because of this work that l
have got to do with Mr. Edgerton
that is so very important as you will
understand. 1t seems hard to believe
that such CHANGED could happen to
a girl out of the gas-house district
of Camden New Jersey but it really
is true, 9nd Mr.. Edgerton says l can
do just as much guiding the destinies
of the American people as | want to.
l suppose you read the great adj
dress which the Spokesman deliver
ed to the Elks' convention and you
seen every word l had said to Mr..
Edgerton for the Spokesman to say.
Of course Mr.. Edgerton fixed it up
again so that it sounded fine and
ElkOquent-he keeps calling it that,
it is sort of poke on account of
having been said to the Eiks. It sure
did thrill me to read it and | was
more prouder than ever to live in
such rich country with so much
wonderful prosperity all around me.
| must a say there is times when
| wish could have just a little more
of it for myself. 1t is kind of hard
on a girl that has been brought up
right and is trying to earn every
thing not just her clothes. Right
now l have got to put another darn
In my best pair of skin-colored
stockings and it will be very disfig-
uring right where the gentlemen
look at them most. But | could not
keep my landlady waiting no longer,
and l have cut down OH my meals all
| daire l can't afford to be too
starved when | go out with Mr.. Edg-
erton because it amt refined to hog
your dinner.
Well Nom this noon going out for
my lunch l run into what | think is
his wife-anyhow / hope it is be.
cause | would be sorry to think there
was third lady in this case. She
was In car with him, one of these
kind that is called coops like glass
show cases rolling round on big rub
Der tires. They had just drawed up
by the curb and she was getting out
have told him that | will play
the game so of course | didn't give
no sign that had ever saw him be-
fore. But l got a good look at hel
and she is sure something elegant
you can bet there amt any holes in
her silk stockings nor in the squirrel
skin coat that she had no. She is &
large soft lady and they went into
an office building so l guess he was
taking her to another of them fancy.
priced specialists to see if they car
find that angina pectoris. l went of
thinking what would of happened tt
me if would of took the notion that
had the angina pectoris. Would al
them specialists be hunting it OF
would l just come home and get POI
to show me the trap-door where vol
crawl into the gas-tank? But l real
ize that can't have everything il
this world can't have electri,
coOps and squirrel-skin coats and a
the same time know the great hear
of the plain people and be able tx
teach the Spokesman how to talk tt
them.
P. S. Well I had another call from
Mr.. Edgerton and we went out tt
dinner again and it is his wife like
l guessed and he says the corn spe
