ing.

that sort of thing. We were having
some people to luncheon on Sunday
last spring, and just at an hour when
all the delicatessens were closed she
discovered that she needed some mus
tard and didn’t have a grain of It in
the kitchen. And she isn’t the sort
that will borrow from people next
door that she doesn't know. It was
a bad fix, all right. But she got mus
tard enough."
"Went to the delicatessen man’s
house and routed him out, I suppose?”
suggested a member from the Bronx.
“Not much. Just went to the medi
cine closet, got down a box of ready
made mustard plasters, put ’em to
soak, and squeezed enough of the hot
stuff off."
“Good night,” said the man from the
Bronx.

The Electric Coupe.

gant about an electric coupe.”

teller predicted that a great future

through a steel grating now for near
ly five years.”
