Show saw them short. I asked Marie if MarVe was entertaining en-tertaining lately and she said, "no not very." It seems in these parts that knocks on the noggin and wallets disappearing in the process are all in the spirit of play, with no cause for concern for knocker or knockee Take the latest episode on things bouncing off handy heads we find that the persons who got the knock on the head were just unwilling to cause any fuss about it and preferred that they lose their wallets in the deal, rather than divulge how it all came to pass. The other night a couple of hide buyers were invited to a party rather ra-ther late in the evening and accepted ac-cepted promptly. After getting to the. party the play reached a rather rough stage when the two hide buyers found themselves with money, marbles or chalk. But this was not the least unconcerting to them, as they figured that guys who went on parties had a right to accept a bop on the bean.

After some week of trying to convince the other that the first was right they compromised the proposition and decided to remodel remod-el their home out on the North Tract so that it would have two living rooms and they could have the drapes to suit themselves in their own private living room. A construction crew was lined up and started work on the two new living rooms. At this point Marve and Marie had settled their differences, but still wanted the 2 living rooms. And so they decided that while they had the carpenters carpen-ters there they might as well toss on a few more rooms to make the place livable. So they had another bathroom built for four or five bedrooms extra (they come cheaper cheap-er by the dozen) and are now about the most remodeled family ! ' in these parts. And the nice thing about it is that Marie can entertain her friends fri-ends in her own living room, and i Marve can also entertain his fri- ; ends in his private living room, i while they gaze at the drapes that Marve picked out. It just goes to show what lengths an argument can lead to, especially when you have a bunch of carpenters foaming foam-ing at the mouth to pound in j nails and saw boards, even if they |
