AROUND THE CITY BY NANNIE NEAR-YOUNG flapper in shell pink and pear] silk knees pushed a letter under the little window to a money-order clerk on the inside. The letter had to be pushed back because she had failed to seal it. “Why, wasn't that awful!” She ex- claimed in a voice of sincere self- accusation. - “I've got $30 in it, too. ‘There, it is good and tight” The clerk shoved the letter back through the little window. The young woman had neg- outside. “Oh, do I have to do’ that when 'y the letter is only a / / lncal? Never mind, 7 ft won't take a minute.” She scratched down the address and sho{!d the r back. le‘:?sx‘ou should have written it on the upper lefthand corner,” said the clerk. “Dear me, I didn’ ow that made | any difference. I put it on the flap, | because it's the fashion. Well, there | you are, and you will have to excuse the blot. The ink is awfully slingy. | “Two cents, please. | The young woman passed a $5 bill under the window. The clerk, with a repressed sigh that suggested a cuss word, pulled open a draw and made out the change. When the young woman had gathered up her handbag, an onyx-knobbed umbrella, a scarf and white kid gloves that she probably wouldn't think of wearing in such humid weather, and was going away, the clerk reminded her that she had forgotten her receipt. The young woman turned and took up the slip with an air that was playfully coquettish: “I know you wouldn't cheat me—| and besides, I always lose my receipts, | ow.” The clerk looked as responsive as a stone god in a museum, and the near- flapper gave way to a man who was | ‘waiting behind. His letter must have been properly | sealed and addressed, for the clerk, aft- er hunting up the post affice direction in a catalogue of foreign offices, shoved | a slip under the window and received | the exact change. 6 ' | Then the man tipped off silently on soft-soled Cinese shoes; his yellow face inscrutably bland, and, what you seldom see in these enlightemed day: queue dangling over his blue cambric shoulders. ® % k% WASHINGTON man, while in, Chicago the other day, chanced to enter a regulation tonsarial parior with- out noticing the sign, “conducter by | lady barbers.” It was a first experience, and he didn’t take kinely to it, but you know how most of us make the best of things, as they come along—and real- | ly, it wasn't bad. The little foreign woman understood ber business, and, g a barber, na- turally, among other things, wanted to | gnow if he lived in Chicago and whom | +as he going to vote for” | “he customer told her he lived in gnother city, and then sh: wanted to know what State it was in, and was he for Smith or Hoover? He told her he didn't come from any Btate. He belonged in the District of Columbia, where the. people had no vote. ‘The lady barber paused in her work, looked at him with the bewilderment of | one who is greatly shocked and disap- | pointed—and ceased rubbing his head with red stuff out of a gilt bottle with 8 painted dancer on the side. B “Me, 1 vote for Prasident as a citizen of this Chicago. Not an alien any more, since I got my papers. My poor man, what make you live in a piace | like that, when you could come here and get your freedoia? Do any other American people live there?” ‘Which small incidunt seems to point out to the Americanization movement that Chicago would be a good little place to work in. * ¥ ok ok NOW that the Southern Railway building has been sold to the rovernment and m:gny of its employes assigned to Atlanta, one departing clerk, taking time by the forelock, as the | adage tells us to o, inserted an ad- wvertisement for a yoom in an Atlanta paper. He received 77 answers, one Jf which informed him: “Can let you have a very pleasant room and:bath on the car line.” And the thoughtiful clerk wrote back for details: M “If I should be taking a bath and a car comes along, what am I to do?” i ONE Tthanksgiving Day plan has al- ready gone to smash. It was;the brain product of a woman manager of an apartment house, who thought (it would be characteristic of the day %f every family in the house would tax its members 25 cents each.
