BLANCHE advises me tn at
Mr.. Boog's sign has been
swinging over his front door
for more than a week now, and
that, so far, the vacancy still
exists. I am inclining to the
belief that San Antonio girls
have been spoiled by too much
attention from the outer world
and are setting too high an est1-
mate on themselves. Mr.. Boog,
who formerly was a strong man
in a circus, is now an employe
of the United States Govern
ment-the Civil Service-Which
means that he and the lady
who may eventually show up
will be protected IN old age oy
an adequate pension.
Well, there are other girls in
these United States who, if not
as pretty and choosy as those
in San Antonio, are neverthe-
less, mighty nice. In fact, there
are a lot of these in Washing
ton and in the environs. The
fact that Mr.. Boog admits that
he is dirty should not deter a
young girl with some strength
of mind.
I would suggest an establish
ment of correspondence-she can
improve his spelling after they
are man and wife-and a care
full diplomatic leading up to
what I sort of think is the real
reason for lack of applicants
for the job in San Antonio.
X X
THE BIG BARRIER, it seems
l. to me, is soap-and getting
Boog to use it in the proper way.
A nice brand Of toilet soap
would utterly fail to serve the
purpose. A man in Mr.. Boog's
