Odds and Ends


with curious yarns. Here's
one that took place last week
and Fate certainly gave
our central character a hefty
boot in the pants. In that
respect, however, he can
find one consolation: He
sure has plenty of company.
The man in question is a
barber, and a mighty good one.
He earns a nice salary, and he
is able to support a wife in
fairly decent fashion. There is
but one difficulty with that
arrangement; he Is unable to
support his sweetheart in the
same manner.
Yes, there's sweetie in the
case. She's a manicurist in
another shop, and a very pretty
dish. The tonsorial artist is
very much in love with her,
and there's no doubt that he'd
marry her Immediately if it
weren't for his wife. But that's
an "if" than which there is
none bigger.
Our hero Is afraid of his
wife. He knows doggone well
that, should she ever find out
about the manicuring cutie,
she is more than liable to sock
him right upon the dome with
a hammer, or q Sashweight, or
anything else that might be
handy. So he hands over his
pay each week. holding out
only enough to play his daily
number.
For months now, that daily
number has been his one hope
for a bankroll. The odds, as
you know, are 900 to land
he has been playing a dollar a
day on the prayerful chance
that he will connect for a
score. His Sweetie has been
bothering him for a fur coat,
and he has wanted to buy it
for her. The only thing lack
ing has been the money. And
that is Of some Importance.
Finally Clicks
Well, to make a long story
q little longer, our hero finally
clicked. Yes, sir, he absolutely
did. It was a Saturday, and
he had handed over his dollar
to the agent in the same man.
ner as usual. He probably ex-
pected to lose the same as
usual-but this was the day of
days. In the late afternoon,
he learned that his number
had won, and that he was 5000
ahead Of himself.
Six hundred simoleons! You
can imagine our friends feel
ings. AS a matter of fact, I
don't think there's been a hap
pier barber since Delilah. He
was so happy that, when he
reached home that night, he
kissed his wife three times and
told her that he loved her.
His plans were simple. He
would spend Sunday with his
wife. On Monday morning,
he'd get his 5000 from the agent
less, Of course, the proper
commission. Then, during the
lunch hour, he'd surprise his
sweetheart by taking her out and
buying the fur coat she had al
ways wanted. It all worked out
very beautifully.
But alas for his gorgeous
plans! There's many a slip
'twixt the hip and the fur coat.
He was sitting with his wife in
their flat Just before noon on
Sunday when the bell rang and
in walked the agent.
Joe" he cried happily, "I
was so happy about you win
ming that dough that I came
over to pay you off right away.
Congratulations, boy! Here's
your money. I didn't wal1t you
to wait until tomorrow"
Do I have to tell you what
= happened? Right you are.
Then and there, the wife
grabbed the dough to buy her
self a new outfit. And the poor
barber didn't even get back
the original buck he had in
