rARlSH STREET. SAIURDAY
NIGHT: It is generally agreed that
the discussion of money draws an
attentive audience whether the said
subject is being aired on the re-
Ginning slopes Of the Congo River,
or the noisy border table in the
back of a smoke-filled cafe, where
two high hamburgers are showed
gracelessly across the boards by a
waitress who had none of the quail
ifications for the position save the
quenchless thirst for money, which
incidently, was the topic for con-
versation where we gathered with
the brothers last Saturday night.
1t was noted that none of US had
an abundance of the stuff we were
discussing, which, of course made
US all authorities on the means of
acquiring, saving, and general u.s.
age of the long green stuff with
the short future. After everyone
present had bored everyone else
with how he'd made and lost a
fortune three or four times, we
started telling the truth, and as
usually happens, we came to har-
monious agreement as the last bot
tie of frosted beer was parked by
the aforementioned waitress. The
one thing that all of the brothers
of the Saturday session was agreed
on, was that there is nothing evil
about money. If you think there
is try getting along without it for
week or two. Try telling your
butcher that you can't pay for
the steak he just cut because you
don't have any of that evil stuff
called money, or, better still, when
you're in Church Sunday, drop a
note in the collection plate saying
that money is evil and the Deacons
should be ashamed of themselves
for encouraging such practice in
church. Or, tell the rent man, tele-
phone man, light man, gas man, in
surance man i. tell anybody. Tell
them that you have concluded that
money is evil and you shall no
longer be found in it's company, or
it in yours, and see if you can win
a single convert to your side of
the argument. Now, it was agreed
that certain people take money
and do evil things with it, and that
there are evil ways of getting it
was affirmed. But now the broth
ers shook hands on it, and you can
believe it or not but there amt
one thing evil about money, and
the sooner the brothers and sis
tiers wake up to the point where
they lays a little by every now
and then the better1?%. :.

HEARD IN PASSING: A real
good looking young woman, we'll
dressed and with all the outward
appearance of being high class
stopped in one of the popular cafes
along the Ole Avenue the other
Pm. and was being watched side
ways by some of the well known
Parish Streeters. Soon's she gets
seated she goes up to the juke
box and starts putting in and
punching away, and the first thing
that comes up was one OF them
loud blues numbers :. and all |
could hear the Parish Streeters
saying after, that was, What do you
know :. about that :.
