Show HAD FUN ON GROCERY WAGON Most Interesting Thing Damsel Did During Summer. "The most Interesting thing I did this summer?" The girl with a tan bronze' repeated tho question ho asked her. "I don't have to draw straws to tell you, for ono particular experience stands all by Itself." "Was It a count or an automobile racing millionaire?" the man asked. 'Nothing that you would over guess," sho returned, with a toss of her dainty head. "Tho most Interesting Interest-ing thing I did this summer was to drlvo a grocery wagon for ono whole day through a country district on Capo Cod." "You'd make a pretty grocer's girl," ho admitted, "but I thought grocers and butchers always had boys on their wagons." "There was a boy on this wagon," sho went on, "a nice boy, too not a spoiled city man. They said that I didn't daro make the rounds with him, but I did. It would havo been worth whllo If only to see the stares with which tho Capo Cod folk greeted me, but there wero other experiences. "For instance, there was a deaf and dumb farmer who wanted to give an order, but neither tho boy nor I understood un-derstood the sign language. Ho got a piece of chalk and tried to draw what ho wanted. "'Potato!' I cried, and I picked up one out of the stock In tho wagon. "The old man shook his head and began to draw again. It was worse than before. Finally his son came along and told us that his father wanted a patent fly catcher, the screen sort, which lets the flies into a trap and will not let them out again. "Then there was a woman who came to her back door and shouted that she wanted a "flour Jumper.' I'd have lost out again if it hadn't been for the grocery boy. He prompt-ly prompt-ly took out a cake of yeast, and It proved to be tho required 'flour jumper.' jump-er.' " |
