Qcdi bfis fa we n The Four Buckle Galosh VVe have a ninety-pound D. S. named Marybella and once upon a time, up- L on the dance floor, she re was allowed to breeze. Now Marybella had a dear friend named Stout who -- was forty pounds over-weight and carefully counted her vitamins. She was very fond of Cream Stack Pie and never went to dances but stayed at home and entertained ...- the Lincoln girls and minded the curling tongs. Z One night as slender Marybella I was leaving the dance pavillion at K Tsukalas Dancing School she threw a Galosh. Now, the 5 r prince of the Bentley Shoe Salesmen was attending the dance and stumbling over the Galosh, he picked it up and 5 of was immediately fascinated by it. Something in the rattle of the galosh and its general outline made him think of the old 4 Y bus back home which used to run from the depot to the Central Hotel. The Prince of Bentley Shoes grew sentimental and he vowed that if he could ever find the maidenly calf that would snugly fit the circumference of 'the top of that Galosh, he would propose i marriage to its owner immediately. 1 L And now our Prince began to haunt the dance floors. He spent his evenings at the Elk's Club, Bill Ryan's Halls, Tsukalas, and Masonic Temple, but never once did he meet the wioman of his dreamsg and everywhere he would see slender Marybella, but he could instantly tell that she could not fit the top of his beloved Galosh. The Prince was rapidly losing hope, when one day as he was going into Sunshine Cafe he saw a calf on the step ahead of him and his heart gave a flutter. It was Marybella's friend Stout going after a piece of Cream Stack Pie. Readily, the Prince of all the Bentley Shoe Salesmen fitted the Galosh. It was perfect! For the first time in all his life, the Prince actually saw a Galosh fit a maidenly calf. He was about to pro- pose, when up stepped a gentleman with 'Q T such an air of preponderance M that our Prince hesitated. In JM' ' Aw . fact, he changed his mmd and Y gg: ,T decided that such conflicting X I I emotions had overtaken him 4 -s , that he would no longer dwell A TA ul on his fancy for the fit of that X l I 110
