I asked Parker where he was, and Parker said that as he and Daniel had been walking up the road to Heaven, the Devil 'mme out with his shotgun and lured Daniel away. Parker hadn't seen ide nor hair of Daniel since, but he suspected very strongly that daniel was tending the gate over the hill. y At last I decided that it was time to come down to Earth, so I oede the gate keeper goodbye and started home. But first I walked over the hill to see if I could see Daniel and say, WHe1loP to him before I left, but it got so 'he heat very much. .On arriving at buying my ticket to hot I had to turn back.

Parker told me that he and Daniel were the original owners of the Whoopee Burlesque Shows, but when Parker decided to run for congress he was forced to sell out his share of the business. I left him very reluctantly and continued down Broadway. To my surprise, there was the Bungy Courthouse! Someone was going up the front steps, so I thought I'd go over and find out if I knew him. As I entered the court room, I looked at the two people who were just taking their seats. It was Arlene Forbes and Robert Cross. I hardly recognized Robert, or Pegleg Pete, as they now called him. He'd lost one of his legs, had a black patch over one eye, and the top of his head was smooth enough and slippery enough to be used for an ice skating rink. He took the stand, and the trial began. It seems he and Arlene had been married shortly after they left high school. They had never been able to agree on what color suit went best with Robert's complexion. As I watched Robert in the witness box, I noticed that he lad a hen-peeked look, and that he shivered every time Arlene gave him one of her withering glares. Judge Annis wore a very sympathetic look as he questioned him. Probably Richard had been married,too.in his younger days. After Arlene testified, the judge gave his decision. Robert was to be able to buy the color suit he wantedg moreover, he was to pick it out alone without any of Arlene's help. After the court session was over, I went up to speak to Judge Annis. Imagine my surprise to find, when he stood up, that he was over six feet tall. He really didn't have time to grow in high schoolg he was too busy developing his feet, We talked until the next case came ing then, as I didn't know the person involved, I continued on my way. The Old Maid's Home was just across the street, so I went over. who should open the door but Barbara Barnett! She wasn't really an old maid, but after her sixth husband had died she invested her fortune in 'he Old Maid's Home. Barbara said that business was pretty good. More and more women had decided that it was too much trouble to take on a husband to support. The men seemed to think since the war had been finished that it was the women's place to work and let them tend the dome. It was very much easier for the women to stay single than get married. I stayed to dinner with Barbara, and afterwards we went to the opera. The star at the opera that night was Gloria Arno. She appeared o the stage, following her accompanist. Gloria was very thin and had an hour-glass figure. She had discovered that if you eat the honey out of the honey-suckle flower it will make you thin--in all the right places. It is said that she had spent almost her entire future in the culti- vation of honeysuckles. As I passed by one of the public buildings, I noticed a sign say- ing nvote for Jean Walker for pres1dent.U I asked a passer-by what ticket she was running on? nwhy, the meal tickct,W he answered. He also said she was all out for out-lawing the men from presidency. Men never did run the country very well. They were too sympathet- ic. what the country needed was a strong-minded woman in there to clean up the mess the men had made of it. m50-
