w SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 23, 1919 COST HIM MORE THAN FIFTY —— Mr. Travers Had Not Properly Estic mated His Losses on That Little Fistic Encounter, !‘ e “I can't afford to lose $50 on a prize fight,” mourned Gelatine Trav- ers an hour or so after the shock he received over the wires that fatal Friday afternoon. “But you have lost it, haven’t you?’ we asked, and he nodded disconsolately as he climbed aboard a homebound car. He must have felt a premonition as he mourned, for it is unlike Mr. Travers to regret his losses; and when he ar- rived home he broke the news to Mrs. Travers, along with the implied sug- gestion that a little economy for the next few weeks would not come in amiss. Mrs. Travers said nothing in her most sympathetic manner, and the evening's conversation covered topics wholly foreign to prize fights. At the breakfast table next morning Mr. Travers had no taste for anything the morning paper might have to say, and Mrs. Travers gained possession of it without the usual contest. Glancing through the paper rapidly Mrs. Tra- vers tore out a square section from page 2, and another from page 1L Then at one of those unexpected mo- ments every woman knows breakfast s replete with, said: “So you could lose $50 on a prize fight. Well, well. Here 18 a sale I have been awaiting for a long time. And strange to say, here is another just across the street —one s on suits and the other on gowns. And the strangest of all, we happen to have accounts at both those stores. Fifty dollars, you say, you lost? Was it an even fifty?” And so it was that the breakfast dishes at the Travers’ home went unwashed Saturday morning because Mrs. Tra- vers was obliged to catch an early jit- ney downtown and commence opera- tions.—Kansas City Star.
