Show Mrs. R. Was Pract clng Art of Guest Dodging One Saturday Mrs. R. was leaving her home to go downtown shopping. Two ladies with suitcases were going up the walk toward the house of her next-door neighbor. Mrs. E. happened hap-pened to see her neighbor walking quickly toward the street corner where" she intended to board a street car. Thinking that she would be disappointed dis-appointed if she missed the guests who at that moment were on her porch, Mrs. E. called to her neighbor neigh-bor several times without making her hear. Finally, by hurrying, she caught up with her and somewhat breathlessly delivered the news. "Shut up, you fool ! Shut up !" said her neighbor in an angry tone. "I saw them coming, and I was trying to get away before they saw me. I had planned to visit some friends in the country tomorrow, so I would not have to get Sunday dinner myself. You don't think that I intend to stay home and'eook for them, do you?" Fortunately, the street car arrived in time. |
