Mr.. Lusk said Washington

Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley, repre-

The
Rambler
... Gets Over
A Headache
By GEORGE KENNEDY

The Rambler had a slight
headache yesterday and
stopped in a downtown drug
store for remedial pills.
He had to walk through
extensive areas to get to the
drug counter. At first he
thought he was in a dry
goods store, then a haber-
dashery, then a lingerie shop,
then a hardware and garden
center.
He finally got his pills and
swallowed a couple Che can
take them dry then looked
about at leisure.
He's a great man for a bar
gain. Yet something usually
saves him, and usually that
is lack of cash.
But here was an opportu-
nifty to take stock. To be
more accurate about it, he
indulged in an imaginary
shopping spree.

IMAGINARY, thanks be!
He found so many facinating
items that it would have
taken a truck to carry them
home.
The first items that met
his eye were apple trees for
$129 each. They were Nc
Intosh apples. They are his
favorite. 1t is doubtful that
they do we'll in this climate.
Senator Byrd does not grow
them in his Shenandoah
Valley orchards, which are a
little north of Washington
latitude and at least 500 feet
higher in altitude.
They were a real tempta-
ton, but as it would take five
or six years before a report
could be made on the expert
ment, their purchase was
deferred.
There we're five-pound
packages of lawn seed for 70
cents which called for tn
purchase of so feet of 5s-inc
plastic garden hose for $4.93.
Fifty pounds of "bacterially
active" Michigan peat we're
81 and gladiolus bulbs
were 78 cents a dozen. Rose
bushes are SO cents each.
He was tempted to buy a
tall green plant. a philoden-
dron, for $6.95. 1t would help
that one unoccupied corner
of the living room.
And he was tempted by bar
stools for $2.s5; but he hasn't
a bar.
There was an outdoor bra
zier for $685. and charcoal
briquetts to stoke it and fluid
to aid in igniting them. But
there's no buying that equip
ment when you live in an
aforementioned house; nor
a picnic table for $7.79, nor
folding chairs for $2.95. It's
still muddy outdoors and a
good doormat is surprisingly
expensive. 1t will cost you
$2.98. y see
There were. beer mugs for,
SO cents and hollow4stenl
ware glasses, so gresS that
they must have been de- I,
signed for beer rather than
champagne, for rs cents.
The Stereophonic records
priced up to 1896 for an al
bum Of two were not tempt
ing. Just popular stuff. But
he actually did buy a paper
back translation of Sopho-
cleS Oedipus dramas. But it
probably will be a long time
before he reads them.
FIVE POUNDS OF SEED
for the wild BIRDS" that is
the birds outside the window,
cost SO cents. And no point
in neglecting the parakeet.
He's an expensive bird. A
much smaller quantity of
seed cost 98scentS.
The, old school tie, ties of
many schools, could be had
for SO cents, and white shirts
for $1.98.
Don't forget the wife. A
nicely designed handbag can
be purchased for $3.50 she
won't criticize, yonr taste but
clothes to match it will cost
considerably sInore.
Rayon cotton : da'cr o n
blankets for IS seem alittle
out of season-but are they?
The Rambler toted up his
purchases and was glad they
were imaginary. He had
spent more than 5000.
BY this time he found it
hard to believe that he was
in a drugstore. But some
thing proved it. The head
ache was gone.
