Show Mother's Description of Paradise. j Richard Croker, during his visit to New York last month, discussed with j a reporter the high cost of living. "The farmers are all right," said Mr. Croker. "It is the people who in- tiist on living in the towns who find . everything too dear. In the towns, j you see, the expenses are as bothersome bother-some as the children. "A little boy in a tiny flat looked up from his drum one day and said: " 'Mother, Adam and Eve lived in 'paradise. What was it like there?' " 'Like, what it is here,' his mother answered, 'when you eight children j are at school.' " |
