recent Guinea Hen Dinner. OF

record. 1t all happened when
Evelyn decided to have a So
different dinner and according
ly ordered a crate of guineas
sent to her house. On the day
of her planned dinner party she
sent her houseboy out to pre-
pare the guineas, and while he
was opening the crate. every
guinea flew out and into-the
tallest tree-tops of the billiard
garden.
Evelyn, always resourceful,
promptly called the police de-

dicament and asked them what
to do. They we're no-end eff

they would send around their
two best shots, to get the gum
.eas, down from the tree tops, so
to speak.
Well, the two best shots ar
rived and attended to the gum
cas-, but the guineas, who were
determined to be willful, even
in death, dropped off the tree
tops onto the adjoining church
roof. Once again Evelyn had to
