And then he thinks a bit and he
says, Maybe we can get YOU an al
lowance for travelling exnenses." I
9ays, Does Grammarian have to
CraVel = and he says, eve will have
you made Field Grammarian and
then you will be able to go wherever
you want to and that will be neces-
sary anyhow because YOU see if it
stays not like this very long the
spokesman will be moving to His
summer home and | will have to 90
Ohere and so will you and it will be
Iluch better if you have a govern
ihent position then because it will not
look so bad if we are saw together in
small town"
ANA then he looks at me a moment
ana he says kind of hesitating. "Miss
nIggs, viii you pardon me If | am
extremely personal for a moment %
AND l says, Go to it." and then he
Velis me that the fashion in the pres
ehJ Administration is for a different
shade of ladies' hair from what
nave got. "The old Administration
was what you might call a neroxide
one ne says, "but the present runs
TO pastel shades and think it would
De easier for both of US if you was
TO tone yours down. | don't know
much about it, but | suppose there
is ways"
oh sure" | says, what have |
been IN a beauty parlor for? | can
cut most Of it off and wear some
sort of turban effect till the new
color grows out" | says. "Or can
cut 1t real short and say that | have
had the typhoid fever or something"
And he says, "All right typhoid is
more respectable than peroxide and
when you have got that done we can
go to better restaurants for our din
ners."
Well so then | says, "How is the
missus getting along these days and
has she said anything more about
me 2"
And he tells me that she has got
something new to occupy her mind
she is being syked-I don't know if
that is quite the right word but it is
the way 1T sounds and he explained
TO me the way to be syked there
IS man and you pay them ten dol
lars and hour to listen to YOU tell
nm all your troubles and about your
soul and he says that it is got to be
the most fashionable thing for ladies
to be syked. And / says, at is a
pretty expensive fashion it seems to
me-" but he says, "My God no not at
all this town is full of husbands that
would pay man ten dollars an hour
to listen to their wife's troubles all
day long and the night too" he saws.
And 1T is a great relief to their
friends as we'll" And says, "Then
while she is being syked YOU and me
can go to dinner" and he says, "Ex-
actly."
Well then he tells me what it is
that he wants to ask me about and
1t seems there is an international
problem because there is a Hungari-
an count that wants to come into
this country because his wife is here
and she is sick but he is not being
let to come because they say he is a
Bolshivih but there is an awful fuss
being made about it.
And l says, "But why / thought
we had regular laws to keep them
Dagos and Hunkies and Wops out of
this country" And he says, eyes,
but this one is a sure enough count
and is a rich man too and the laws
IS not meant for that sort. And be-
sldes," he says, "the state depart
ment is not got very much nerve but
just now the old gentleman that is
IN charge of it is called by a name
OF Scared Sally and he is even more
scared than the Spokesman Himself.
lie was a senator from his home
state but that state kicked him out
and so the Spokesman is give him a
nome IN the cabinet; and he is scared
OF this Bolshivih count to let him
IN and he is scared not to let him in
and they are ali in a terrible stew
up at the big white house and this
evening there is got to be a state
ment give out about why he is not
let in and they can't think of no
reasons except some that thew can
not give out"
And what is them ?" / says and
he tells me a funny story, gee it is
complicated these international af-
fairs!
1t seems that some of the Young
fellers in this state department is
gone and got themselves wives out Of
this here foreign nobility thinking it
was something extra swell you know
but now there is come revolutions
and all these Dago counts and Hunky
princes and Wop grand dukes is kick
ed out or is about to get kicked out
ana The young men in the state de-
partment finds themselves stuck with
! secondhand wives as YOU might saw
that is to say they is badly faded and
passay and not noble or swell no
more. In this here country of Hun
gary they have got back but only
for a little while because this Bolshi-
wiki count is going to kick them out
again and so they hate him and that
is why our state department is fight
ing so hard to help them and keep
the secretaries wives noble as long
as it can be done. And that is why
our government lends loans to these
countries and why the dassnt allow
that nobody shall come in from them
countries and tell what is going on
there.
And / says, "But Mr.. Edgerton il
seems to me that in a case like that
1t is very plain what to do" "And
what is it?" he says. And / says, 81
would say that il is a situation that
the least said about it the better.
And he says, "Yes Of course" And
