OBSERVATIONS
R AND
SPECULATIONS
By MADAME ROAMER
In roaming around town I saw:
That Mrs. W. M. Redman finally
got Lee’s tricycle fixed after several
days uninterrupted work on same.
Lee says his mommy is a right good
mechanic.
When James Finley and his young
lady friend, charming Nancy But
ler, both of Akron, Ohio, left re
cently after a visit to James’ fath
er, friends expressed the hope an
other visit would be in the not dis
tant future. James replied mosfc
graciously, “It wont be long before
we’ll be back.“ That plural per
sonal pronoun doesn’t leave much
for their friends to guess.
• • • • •
That Bill Watkins, even back in
the dark ages when his boyhood
friends called him William Eternal
Watkins, and before the nick name
Bill became popular, always wore
a coat. Of late years he still con
tinues this custom. Even on hot
sultry days one never sees Bill with
out his coat, though his friends feel
that they would be doing him a fa
vor “to shuck it off” for him.
That Jimmy Cornell and Vincent
Jones, students at the University of
Georgia, were supposed to spend the
week-end at home. But they had
scarcely “lit” when Jimmy hied forth
to Macon, and Vincent landed in.
the capital of Pike.
