The Chatterer
Speaks!

iilis sAower Aud wedding busl-
ness has worn me down so low that
I've made up my mind definitely 70
forget most oT II for the time De-
lAs zee no sense IN me telling
YOU about all those pre-nuptial
l..r..es u hen every last one OF you
have been to nj 9st Of them. 10 me,
it's lust time and energy wasted,
al. d, after Ill, why go if you have
to be punished with reading the de-
tails, too SO, since | feel SO low
and disgusted today, | am going to
get some things | don't like off my
chest
Have you been out at German
town and Danner Avenue Me too,
and | don't like the looks Of it.
Looks like the fran work Of this
building il going to be of wood in
stead Of structural steel. Does that
mean that IS is just going to be an
other fire trap for West Side citi-
zens? La every town where | have
watched the erection of these
low rent projects, the first thing that
went up was >iron girders. Maybe !
don't know much about building,
but | do know that if | live in them
and fire breaks out III the middle
of the night, | would look aWfuliy
silly and unromantic with my ona
hundred and eighty pounds dashing
thru the flames. What do you
think?
NV next dislike are ladies who try
to look like their daughters. Patou
and Scharparelli advocate mothers
and daughters dressing alike but
they don't say thing about mamma
wearing poker curls.
Next on nv list of dislikes is the
teacher situation. My pet peeve isn'i
about the lack Of funds to pay the
teachers, nor is it about the fact
that certain worthy people didn'
get re-appointed. What burns me uI
is the way teachers have to act tt
keep their Jobs. Can't smoke, can
chew, can't dance, can't be seen II
certain neighborhoods, must attend
church each and every Sunday, can
drink only behind closed doors ant
can't call their name their own. Or
yes, they are granted certain PRIV
ileges. They can always bow ane
scrape and the word yes to then
superiors acts in substantuatine
their position. I sure am glad that
Pm not teacher and that isn't soni
grapes either.
Even animals make news. Take
dog living in Edgemont, named
Bismark. He bites people and dares
you to pass his house, don't like
him either.
Neither do | like women who get
out in the middle of Fifth Street
and fight, especially when the OBJ
ject Of controversy is mere man
If they were fighting about the
rights of woman suffrage or the con,
stitutional differences of the WCTU
| would be willing TO referee the
brawl, but if they think a male Is
-. @aa h,s,
they are sadly mistaken. Take i
from me, girls, he isn't worth fight
ing over.
NV final and greatest dislike is the
Wine Bar, formerly known as the
Barrel House. Honestly, don't YOU
think they should run the Greek whs
runs the joint off that corner? Sure
he makes money, but what is hap.
pening to the youth who cater MS
s,lace. Nothing much, except the
loss OF a few ears, the loss Of sew
eral LAYERS Of epidernlis from the
cerebellum and general mutilation
Of the duodeum and hepatic circuia-
ton. White folks say we all look
and act alike, but we know differ
ent. Let's show them that we be,
lieva in conservancy too. HI
Well, feel lots better now and
I think I'VE lost q little weight
writing this. However. I'm still dis
gusted 80 I guess + had better call
u ssuaitss' until next week.
