The Coolidge examiner., 1932-09-30

mond would he Captain becuz that
was before he had gone Blooey, in
the Bean and fallen for the pinhead-
ed Wiggler and Giggler.
Probably Raymond was a Goner
unless somebody could get to him
and give him the Low-Down and In
side on the Trouble Maker. Becuz,
say what you will, Raymond wasn't
such Bad Scout. Just weak, that's
all. Claudine had sewed Buttons
on him becuz the Simp believed
everything she passed out to him.
1t was only Question of Time un-
til he got wise to all, that Apple
Sauce she was feeding him and then
he would walk out on her and leave
her fiat. You know it.
Sooner or later he would find out
what she had told Mr.. Finch, who
ran the Picture Show. 1t seems that
she had been waiting out in Front
for the poor Egg to show up and
take her in to see unprotected
Women" and Mr.. Finch in a josh
ing Way, started to kid her about
Raymond and she said that he was
nothing in her Young Life but she
couldn't give him the Air becuz
he was Nuts about her and tagging
at her Heels every Minute. Those
were the very identical Words she
had used, becuz Mr.. Finch had told
Mrs. Finch, who had impaired the
Big Sensation to Alberta Wilcox.
SWiping the Old Greek Badge.
The very idea of her saying that
Raymond had been chasing her
when everybody in Town knew that
she had been making Googy-Eyes
at him for a Year and doing a lot
of other Things that no Girl who
had been well brought up would
think of doing! For one Thing, he
couldn't back the Car out of the
Garage without her being on the
Corner. all diked up like a Horse
and Buggy, to flag him. Every time
she pulled the Old One about just
happening to be there.
It's funny where they went riding
at Night. Her mother didn't seem
to have the slightest Control over
her. She could get away with all
that Murder for While but sooner
or later she would get such a Hard
Name that she wouldn't be able to
break into a Public Dance with a
letter of Introduction from Presi-
dent Hoover.
If Raymond wasn't such a Goose
he'd remember what she pulled on
George Spelvin while he was home
from the Academy. She told around
that he gave her the Frat Pin, but
it was purity well known that she
just the same as swiped it and then
gave him the Old One about losing
it, which is awful Coarse Work, if
anyone should ask. Kit Lawrence
had told Effie Dusenberry that she
knew Claudine still had the badge.
If that didn't make a Thief out of
her, what would you call it? 1 ask
you.
AS for having a Chance to go to
Hollywood and be in a Picture, all
that Chatter just proved that she
was Crazy in the Head. Somebody
had told her she looked like Joan
Crawford and since then there had
been no living with her. No won
der Everybody was sorry for her
Mother.
1t seemed that the Future of the
Universe was now hinging on the
Junior Prom. She (Claudine) had
been buying Things and telling
around that Raymond was going to
take her, but Edna and Blanche
said wouldn't 1t be a Good Joke if
he gave her the Toss?
While further Plans for saving
the much-to-be-desired Raymond
were on the Fire, the Traveller had
to alight and he may never know
what happened to the Eternal Tri-
angle.
MORAL: Suffering in Silence has
become Lost Art.
