Hey, Fellers Here's Nevvy Smith
Been a long while since we heard
from him. Nevvy's been around 8
good deal since he left Canyon Diablo
and for some time now he's been al
Los Angeles wherever that is.
Nevvy sends along this pathetic lit
tie fantesy:
Sweet little Kay was so appealing
ly small, as she stood, all clothed in
gray, with tight little hat, at the en-
trance to the waiting room that day
it was the last day of December but
one-and the north wind howled as it
swept the station platform from end
to end.
Everyone was hurrying along with
wraps all buttoned up snug and tight
to keep warm.
Her Jim was coming through on
the westb0und limited today-and, oh,
how she did love her jim! II must be
brave" she said to herself, as she
powdered her nose. Ny eyes must
not be red, and | must smile nice and
sweet, so that dear Jim will not see
that my heart is broken at being left
behind while he goes to make our lit
SAC S2Sy ACoI SOHSWHGIE III The west.
And in the midst of a sigh that
racked her soul, the limited came in,
and out in the wind rushed little Kay
to meet her Jim. And she was SO
small, dainty and sweet, and had to
take two steps to his one; and he was
SO big and strong. and held her so
nicely snug within his arms, and
laughed so nice down into her uplifted
face. Her eyes just CLEANED. as she
looked up at him, and the curls on her
neck strayed out in the wind
ShelteriRg her from the wind, Jim
carried her into the waiting room,
while she nestled up so close to him!
-oh, how she loved her finland

chin, with her arms around his neck
and her little fingers on the back of
his coat, meshing the cloth all up in

wad And he called her Baby oh,
and held her close to him. And she
cooed tenderly low, my Jim, how |
love himl-you are SO thoughtful
about the little things woman values
so-and tears came to her eyes, but
didn't fall down her cheeks, but stayed
right on the lower rim, magnify
her love and tenderness for jim.
And the conductor shouted, "A-a-all
a-a-aboardi' and the train started.
And the lingering farewell embrace,
and the break in Jim's voice, in his
"Oh, Kay-of-my-heart, in just little
while I'll be back and never again
shall we part" and he ran and caught
the very last car on the train And as
the train vanished around the bend,
Kay's little form shook with sobs, that
could no longer be held in.
Il must be brave" she was saying
to herself, my eyes must not be redv
and she began to smile nice and
sweet as she heard the purr of twin
six, and her Bill rushed in to take her
for asride. In the midst of sigh she
hurled herself into his fur-coated
arms, and he laughed sort of nice and
lifted her up to the level of his chin;
and she cooed so nice and sweet as
she meshed his collar up in wad--
how long she had been waiting there
for him!and tears came to her eyes,
and did not fall down her cheeks, but
stayed right on the lower rim. And
those eyes lifted with love and tender
ness for him. Oh, how she did love
him! bill, dear, you are so thought |
full about all the little things woman
values So" And his voice became
husky, with his "Kay-of-my- heart,
let's go where we can dance and cal"
And she had to take two steps to his |
one; he carried her outside and tucked |
her in the twin-six so cosy and nice;
and her eyes beamed as she looked up |
at him-as they whirled away in the |
north wind.
Kay-of-my-heart mustabin a flirt.

POINTERS


We've just discovered that the
reason why so many women go to
college these days is to study engi-
neering so they can regulate the
patent distinguishing machinery
and other modern kitchen con-
trivances.
The recent appearance of the
planet Mercury certainly has
stirred up interest in the stars.
Almost any night you can see
young people in cars parked along
the roads.
Now that the questions and an
swers fad is so popular, we may
expect any day to hear that the
town wisecracker has lost his job.
The Minnesota legislature
erased a clause from bin that
would have prevented dogs from
chasing cats. 1t is also said that
ducks will be permitted to swim
In that state.
The way Congress and the va
Tious legislatures have been car
rying on lately, maybe we'd better
bring some Of the marines back
