Sunday strollers Time was when two
simple girls were wont to wander hand in
hand down a shady lane on Sunday morn
ing. There aren't as many shady lanes as
there once were around a city, so Gladys
and Zoe do their strolling near the state

Royce or a Packard may give them a lift
Says Gladys to Zoe, "And he says to me,
how'd yoa like a platinum wrist watch?
Can you e-magine him saying that to me!
Well, i says to him 'An' who's going to give"
me one, my mother?' " (Shrieks of laub
ter.from Gladys and Zoe.)
