MARY ANN Tells
Of LADIES' CLUB
Indignation Meeting It Males
Reflection % Fur Sex
Dear Susan:

some time ago you asked me 10
tell you about our Get Together
Club" as you are thinking OF join
ing. Our club 10 composed entirely
Of ladies' who get together twice "a
month for the purpose Of getting bet-
ter acquainted socially and also for
improving the English language. If
possible. Any member, even II she's
behind in her dues, Ia privileged to
get upon her feet and say what Is
on her mind providing the subject
is OF interest to all. II = member
feels she has been sighted or her
rights as a free citizen had been tn
fringed upon she il entitled to call
special meeting to let others know
what is bothering her and what
should be done about it. etc.
Last night We were called out In
force to attend what was later put
down in the minutes as an indigna-
ton meeting. 1t seems that one Of
our members who once-overs the
newspapers regularly read an arti-
Gle about banquet given by some
business men or something and aft
er their stomachs finally got salts
fled they begins on the after dinner
speeches and each speaker would
start off by telling Joke or story
which always mentioned the lady
folks without compliments. Its usu-
ally about poor man who knows all
the words in the dictionary but new
er has chance to use any when
woman is present.
He follows 1t with another, say
ing that II the ladies would give
their tongues a rest II would not only
be relief. but a miracle. Or may
be Mr.. Oscar Oswald would spill this
one. ut seems there was lady who
did nothing but talk day and night,
seldom coming up for ozone. She'd
already worn out one chin. But un-
fortunately she carried . spare. One
day whiel arguing with a neighbor
she dislocated her jaw. For two days
her tongue did not choose to run
and she couldn't speak a word. How
she suffered. Finally she could stand
it no longer and visited a New York
specialist.
On returning from the specialist
she burst in upon her friends. all
grins. and talking faster than she
ever talked before. The blamed old
doctor couldn't set her jaw 80 he
put it on hinges"
This tickles the men In so many
different nilces that they're soon
hold.ns csata their sides and laugh
ing ls.a hey has got fits or se0e-
thing. To hear this would-be WISE
crackeg ole would naturally think
that nsp Il ~ quiet rs n ssiil-alarm
but most Nv lady Gan tell you
they're aisr- alarms ast vauld talk
all day sad .hen sore ,';aout ex-
erting themselves and Vaen finished
raving trey al.'f said any lg that
an inteiligaut y son coGlaa say in
dozen wects There's a great many
men whose private ambition Is to
be an auctioneer SOS they can talk
themselves hOarSe and at the same
time get paid for 1t.
Or maybe that ambition Is side
tracked and switches over to
thoughts of being a political spell
binder where they'll be In their
glory telling Of promises Especially
at election time) and then forget
ting them in the hopes that some-
body will remind 'em to make few
more. Every woman knows what
man needs Is someone who 10 cap
able of laying down the law to him.
to sorta make him realize he amt
the only sardine In the can. Well.
Susan. nothing much was decided At
the meeting except to let the men
wear that self satisfied smile and fool
themselves (Which Is easily done)
into thinking they're the important
berries and all others not 10 i'm
portant.
