The Juicy Uttle tete-a-tete happen
ed at tha court house one day last
week, but you know; girlie Just how
long it takes to get a spicy little bit
of gossip firmly launched.
It was one of those few rare days,
and It was Quit natural that a young
man' fancy, etc., etc. She waa a cute
young thing, not exactly the "ltty
bitty" type, nor wa the man In tha
party a sociology prof. In fact there
was nothing really highbrow about
the affair, for the young lady waa a
popular court bouse girl, and the man
a well known mechanic of Oregon
City and married at that!
Eye witnesses state be bad his arm
about the girl. He not only had hla
strong right curled about her supple
walst-llne but folks here's the Juicy
part the girl made absolutely no ef
fort to wriggle out of his daylight
bug. For strength and durability, It
was a regular 10-foot movie embrace,
but unfortunately there were reli
able Christian people who law and
reported the affair. Unfortunately,
too, It happened during office hours.
Everyone about town knows the
girl. At the present time she wears a
nifty new gray coat. She has alway
stood very high around the court
house. In fact she waa standing on
the very roof of the building when the
thrilling clandestine hug was given,
for the girl, if you must know, was
Miss Justice, and the man an Oregon
City painter was hanging tenacious
ly to her waist line while daubing her
stoic features with a new spring
dress of gray paint.
