P.. McEvoy LAUNDRY is @ place you send your clothes to be destroyed. It consists of huge vats of sulphuric, nitric and muriatic acids, the mangler, ripper, shredder, button remover and collar cracker and many other deft and destructive devices, typ Your clothes are brought there by a laundry boy. He is called @ boy because he is usually about forty years old. He has a rude and raucous voice and a rotten memory. Both of these undergo careful training, so that in the finished product Nature has been wonderfully improved upon. The laundry boy had been trained to sneak up to your laundry door in the middle of the night and beat it in, After he has awakened you he ingults you until you give him all the loose clothes you have. He then tells you he will deliver them. the following Thursday. Laundry is always delivered the following Thursday, according to the laundry boy. It is quite interesting to note in this connection that Baron Mun- chausen, Ananias, Judas, Benedict Arnold and the most famous Chinese Diplomat of the Confucius Era, Ly Lyke Khel, began their careers as laundry boys. Anyway, after the laundry boy tells you he will deliver your clothes the following Thursday he laughs one of those low, laundry- boy laughs and disappears out of your life forever. When your clothes reach the laundry they are put to soak in the acid vats for three days. First in the sulphuric acid, then in the nitric and then in the muriatic, If, after three days, any colors remain in the colored clothes, the operation has been a failure and must be re- peated. : The clothes are then passed through the mangler, so called be- cause it mangles them. Then through the ripper, tearer, button re- mover and the shredder, The remains are then hung on spikes and carefully clawed with jee hooks. After this they are taken down and the most éonspicu- ous places on them are marked with indeMble ink. No one but the laundry man knows what these queer, cabalistic signs mean, and he forgets the next day. Expert pinnere then take the remains in charge and fi1] them with millions of pins, hiding each pin skilfully 90 that the points always stick out and lacerate the flesh of the unfortunate client.
