ses hold games of strip poker ?-Well,
maybe, if you want to get real techni-
cal, it wasn't strip poker, but anyway,
! the men traded clothes with the
women. Well, since you ask it, of
course, they wore other clothes to the
party and just traded some packages
of old clothes that they brought
along. And it's probably the only
time julius Littman ever wore cor
set and boomers, and the last time
that a lady will wear long, heavy
wooden indies, at least on the out
| side.
Josie Harmed, teacher of the class,
discarded pills for opera glasses and
enjoyed the evening immensely, and
since it has leaked out somehow what
kind of parties are held in the Parish
house, there have been nine appli-
cations for the teaching position Of
the Willing Workers. Mr.. Harmed is
quoted as saying that 81 wouldn't
give up this position, even if they cut
my salary to paltry $4,000 per year.
What's more the Willing Workers
have a band, coached by Miss Edmee
Smith, and what they can't play isn't
worth playing since their nightly re-
hearsals in Jud Loar's basement on
Second street. While on the subject
l might say that if the neighbors
don't object too strenuously, they plan
to continue this music manufacturing
| plant. call it manufacturing plant
because there are notes manufactured
there that have never yet been known
to man, and probably never will be ac-
knowledged. They produce sounds on
their kazoos that aren't even in the
music book l got thru the mail on
"How to play the piano and astonish
your friends"
Well, anyhow, the band was there
and they played several selections.
Individual musical selections may or
may not have been played by Mrs.
Bill Butt, Mrs. Margaret Casteel,
Mrs. Mealy, Helen Townshend, Mar
garet Lawton, Mrs. Thane White,
Mrs. Sam Aronhalt, Mrs. Happy Har-
ned, Mrs. Frederick Thayer, and Mrs.
Dan Smouse, some of the members
of this orchestra, and lot of them
claim that they should consider them
selves lucky in getting in the orches-
ira at all, and earning all this publ
city.
l was told all about this in conf
dence. Mayor Stemple related the
whole story, but made me promise
wouldn't say anything about him or
Mrs. Mayor, so 1 won't even mention
that they attended the party and were
right in the midst of the most noisy
outbursts.
If it hadn't been for this party, l
wouldn't have known what to say this
week, because I've had my suitcase
packed since last Saturday night,
just sitting and counting the hours,
and l know that such figures as Sc
hours, only IS hours, now only "a
hours, just SO hours, here comes 90,
etc., Wouldn't have been interesting
to you.
And since two people told me last
week that they always read The Re-
publican and Scoops column, l can't
disappoint the ten or twelve readers
that l am now sure that I have, by
talking merely of time and the foot
prints that it leaves on the sands.
1 got a rather lengthy note from
Mt. Lake about the elimination of the
| first chief officer of the new munich
pality, and that flowers had been sent,
along with little crepe, but I can't
go too deeply into details without a
thorough investigation. Perhaps
somebody can enlighten me. But
don't worry me with details until
after l get back from Chicago.
have been told six times to stay
out of the Loop in Caponytown, and
that had better take a rabbits foot
along just for good luck.
When Terrence Tamburini called
Doc Yak Yutzy and me in on mys-
terry case Sunday evening, we both
expected to find couple of bodies
along Deep Creek Lake, but it was on
