O rr K or 01 the opp Well Nell to begin at the the first time I felt like my memory was slipping was about 2 mos ago when I Iwas Iwas was out on the golf golt Jinx linx with a couple of friends and we was playing for a aberry aberry berry a hole and along about the 3rd hole one of my frIends said he had n a six and the other said he hall had a seven so they asked me what I had bad and I Isaid Isaid said a five Listen said my 2nd friend how about them two times In the ploughed plough ell ground when you ou and never hit tits hall ball at nIl all So that set me thinking that I had entirely forgot them two whiffs whiff's so soI soI I I kInd of laughed to cover up my em but I made up my mind I rIght there that I would find Ond out some someway someway way to remember them missed swings n a specIally when the bo boys s 's was keeping keep keep- Ing such close tabs on n a person so that night I remembered to go home and after dInner I worked out n a tern and the next morning I trIed it itIn itin In the nursery and all four ot of my kIds was In there to say nothing about the nurse and without consulting no notes I called them each by theIr first name Well Nell I said to myself this system tern tem looks like tt was d Al 1 and I would be n a fine stiff If I didn't pass It on to tomy tomy my friends that's inflicted the same sameI ray So then I 1 used the new system to try and think of some of at my frIends that had forgot different things and the 1st one I thought of was a bird that hIm and I had been to N. N Y City a 1 couple of mos before and had dinner din din- ner and at that time lime he be said lets let's make It Dutch so I said nIl all rIght but when the check came around he said he was busy tr trying Ing to get the maple syrup oft off his hands Into the fin finger pr bowl so In this letter I kind of reminded re- re minded him about the Dutch laws and sure enough In n a few few days I got aletter n a letter enclosing 70 In stamps witch was his bis share ot of the orgy So then tIlen I happened to think of another an other old pal that couldn't never remember remember re- re member he was married and his wife had complained about It several se times so one night we was over to his louse house but he was not home but his Mrs thought she knew where she could reach him by telephone so I called hIm hImon himon on the wire and told hIm to not forget he be was marrIed and the next night he come home borne nod and called hIs wife by her first name witch Is more than she could do to him as she didn't even answer him I could give gle you other proofs about how this system works for tor Instants I can set down rIght this minute and without going Into no newspaper flIes files or calling up no sporting sport sport- Ing editors editors' I can tell teU who won von bet between veen Dempsey and Tunney nt at ChIcago last September or won the worlds world's serIous last October and I cnn can tell teU If Babe Ruth swings rIght or left handed and 1 an remember what year I was married mar mur- ried and why and I can recall the name of the school I went one semester semester semes- semes ter to before they decIded that 2 semesters was 1 too much and etc ete Where this system comes In as bandy as any other place Is when a aman aman man Is dressing For Instants how bow many of at YOU gents puts on your collar collar col- col lar only to find that your shirt Is oft off or dons your our shoes and then recalls that the hosiery Is missing Since I I. I got up this system I can always manage man man- age to get my garments onto we ie ns as I they should come and nt at 1st I to todo todo do It In alphabet order but I soon found oun out that I hadn't no sooner had gotten my trousers on when I noticed that the underwear was yet to corne conlo and the coat had been ODIn before It had come time tor for tl the e vest I i But the way I overcome these these ties was to make up my I mind to discard dis- dis card th i vest and then do the rest of It from omega to alpha Instead of at vIce versa ersa So then wh when n I don the theold theold old costume the underwear comes romes first and then the trousers nUd ad then the sox sox and shoes and shirt and necktie and finely wind up with the coat cont which Is just ns as It should be e. e This Is only a example to sho v u how good the system works and It dont don't stop with dressing but gos on through a mans man's dally lIfe and os as I Isay say flay I will pass It on to my admIres It if they vII Mil send me a stump stamp addressed envelope but no money and It if they are satisfied wIth the course they cnn can maybe como come with a few tew flowers flow flow- ers era or n a s do en doughnuts s by 1 1 s ID i I.
