~ Ella-May! What do you think!
Billy has lost his job at the En-
porium Bakery, and now we'll have
~ to put off our wedding again! No,
couldn't exactly make out why they fired him,
but it seems something was said about gas
ket having been dropped in the cream filling,
and the manager happened to test the cream
puff with the gasket in it, and his teeth aren't
very good. But Billy did let out he had been
down to Hanks garage during his lunch hour,
wasting his time again in fooling around those
cars So doped out the rest.
You know, Ella-May, sometimes get so
mad over his neglecting me for those dirty old
secondhand cars that pretty near break off
our engagement What good does it do guy
to be able to tell the age of Car without look
ing at its gear teeth if he can't hold job?
Now, if only Billy could get a job, say as
salesman with the Dolmer Company, that
would be quite different. Billy would like that.
too, but Tod Brown, the agent, won't give
Billy break, and as things are. I'm afraid
Billy is just going to pieces over used cars!
ties girls, the corner garage has been to me,
Ella-May; and whenever Billy is late for
date, can tell which one he's in, because
Spot, that pooch of his, will be patiently wait
ing outside.
Speaking of how Billy ought to be working
for the Dolmer people, did you see where Mrs.
John Dolmer is in town visiting her cousins,
the Wellingtons? Well the paper says so! Oh,
Ella-May, if only we could meet her. maybe
she'd get MIR. Dolmer to do something for
Billy! But all ever meet in this town is use
less people like that old lady, the one picked
up the potatoes for when was marketing for
Ma, and now she thinks she knows me. She
was there again this morning. Honest, Ella
May, she's pest but she comes in swell car.
l made crack about it because can't help
but pick up that sort of thing on account of
going around with Billy, and right away the
old girl wanted to know, is my boy-friend in
the car business?
He would be if John Dolmer wasn't such
a pig-headed idiotI says. Well, Ella-May,
she looked rather shocked at that and asked
me why thought Dolmer was such thing
"Oh, he's terrible" says. My boy-friend
has written him hundred times asking for a
job, and he never even answers Dolmer is
fool, because Billy is such fine mechanic. it's
positively vice with him.
well, my DEAR" she says Il guess if your
admirer could find a way of proving his abili-
ty, Mr.. Dolmer would hire him quick enough"
That's how we got acquainted, and ever
since then, whenever 60 to market, she grabs
me and talks my ear off. guess she's house
keeper in one of the big houses on the Lake
Drive, and you know, Ela-May, am too
kind-hearted It's picking up with ordinary
people like her that prevents me getting to
know the better element.
Oh, Ella-May, the most awful thing has
happened! Billy has bought car. Think of
his buying it right now when he's so broke!
| was walking home from the picture show
Yesterday afternoon and when | got to the
West End Garage, there was Spot on the side
walk Well, naturally, walked right IN, and

fully at big hulk of car.
Isn't she beaut?" Billy Immediately de-
manded. That's car, and mean carl"
