I argued and fought and finally persuaded them to keep five thousand apiece for pin money and stick the rest into bonds. The next thing they done was run over to Chi and buy all the party dresses that was vacant. Then they come back to South Bend and wished somebody would give a party. But between you and I the people we'd always ran round with was birds that was ready for bed as soon as they got home from the first show, and even though it had been printed in the News-Times that we had fell heir to a lot of jack we didn’t have to hire no extra clerical help to tend to invitations received from the demi-Monday. Finally Ella So she got a lot of invitation our friends that could read and hired a cat piece orchestra and everything, and made me buy a dress said we would start something ourselves. priv ted and sent them to all r and a three- suit. Well, the big night arrived and everybody come that had somebody to leave their baby with. The hosts wore evening clothes and the rest of the merrymakers prepared for the occasion with a shine or a clean collar. At first the cat had everybody’s tongue, but when we set down to eat some of the men folks begun to get comical. For instance, they would say to my wife or Katie, “‘Ain’t you afraid you'll catch cold?” And they’d say to me, “I didn’t know you was a waiter at the Oliver.” Before the fish course everybody was in a fair way to gét the giggles. After supper the musicians come and hid behind a geranium and played a jazz. The entire party set out the first dance. The second was a solo between Kate and I, and I had the third with my wife. Then Kate and the Mrs. had one together, wile I tried holds with a lady named Mrs. Eckhart, who seemed to think that somebody had ast her to stand for a time exposure. The men folks had all drifted over behind the plant to watch the drummer, but after the stalemate between Mrs. Eckhart and I I grabbed March 27,1920 her husband and took him out in the kitchen and showed him a bottle of bourbon that I’d been saving for myself, in the hopes it would loosen him up. I told him it was my last bottle, but he must of thought I said it was the last bottle in the world. Anyway, when he got through they was international prohibition. We went back in the ballroom and sure enough he ast Katie to dance. But he hadn’t no sooner than win one fall when his wife challenged him to take her home and that started the epidemic that emptied the house of every- body but the orchestra and us. The orchestra had been hired to stay till midnight, which was still two hours and a half distance, so I invited both the gals to dance with me at once, but it seems like they was surfeited with that sport and wanted to ery a little. Well, the musicians had ran out of blues, so I chased them home. “Some party!” I said, and the two girls give me a dirty look like it was my fault or something. So we all went to bed and the ladies beat me to it on account of being so near ready. iv ELL, they wasn’t no return engagements even hinted at and the only other times all winter when the gals had a chance to dress up was when some secondhand com- pany would come to town with a show and I'd have to buy a box. We couldn’t ask nobody to go with us on account of not having no friends that you could depend on to not come in their stocking feet. Finally it was summer and the Mrs. said she wanted to get out of town. ““We'’ve got to be fair to Kate,” she said. “We don’t know no young unmarried people in South Bend and it’s no fun for a girl to run round with her sister and brother-in-law. Maybe if we’d go to some resort somewheres we might get acquainted with people that could show her a good time.” Continued on Page 54) “You Could of Went to Any Cut+/Rate Drug Store and Wrapped Yourselves Up Just as Warm in Thirty-Two Cents’ Worth of Adhesive Tape”
