Of | course, I’ve got to do a bit of questioning.” “Fire aw “What hand do you stir your coffee with?” “My right hand.” “That’s your peculiarity,” Rupe said. “Everybody else stirs it with a spoon.” fe Digging Up Olo Times Windshield’s favorite fish for was sitting at Pete’s hoping Joe would bring in a black angel, as he had done two days before, when he said to me: “Sid, you write often about old times, let’s see if you remember these: “The day Siggy robbed a hen’s nest of its eight cggs and sold them to Mariah as ‘strickly fresh’ and they turned into chicks before she got home with them? “The day Loogie, on the Gar- rison Beach, tried to make love to Elsie, and she said, ‘Aw, boy, go home and tell your ma she “When Monkey John beat Loo- gie for laughing in school and then beat him for erying over the beating he got for laughing?” “The day Willie Knowles told his mother he was too tired to go to Charlie Clark’s grocery, half America Is Very Conscious Of Eng.

Unk, that’s three strikes against Commies. In Commieland, people stay “put”; in our country of free enterprise, they. may go, if they have the “push,” from a “tub” to a “palace.” Here, we regulate our own lives;-in Russia, the state prescribes the regulations. What Is Beauty? Last night I saw two lovely young women standing before a show window on Duval. One, {whose beauty was more striking | than the other, pointed to a pair of shoes and exclaimed: “Them’s the kind I wants.” She was no longer beautiful to me. “Beautiful” is too strong an adjective for her, because it co ordinates with a pleasing count- enance soulfulness, charm of manner, depth of sentiment and at least passable grammar. It is wise for some “sleeping beauties” to remain asleep, be- cause, if they awaken, it is no telling what they may say and thereby spill the beans. v2 S.&S.
