94i4-0-G00-i0-iQ Page22 THE SHIPBUILDER About three blocks further on was an old brownstone mansion with a tall iron fence around it. The place had a gloomy look. There was a line of writing carved into the thick wood of the front door. Being as curious as the person who, upon being told that curiosity killed a cat, innocently asked what the cat wanted to know, I went up the steps onto the front porch to see if I could make out the writ- ing on the door. It was a home for old maids who had fallen in love long after they should have. On a small copper plate which was fas- tened to the door jam was the name of Miss Gertrude Gauley, Manager. I happened to glance thru a window and there was Gertrude, sitting behind a large desk and looking as gloomy as death. You can be sure that I didn't stay around there very long. In a vacant lot quite a distance down the street was a circus putting up its tents. I could hear a loud voice proclaiming the wonders of the show. What a loud voice that barker has, I thought to myself. When I drew near the circus grounds, who do you suppose was urging the people to come and see the afternoon per- formance of the greatest show on the face of the globe! l It was Bimbi. She had developed her voice to such an extent from her experi- ence as an opera singer in operettas at the Nor- well High School that the circus was paying her big money to draw the crowd's attention. In back of her was a sign saying that she was the only female barker in existence. Her voicc qualities were such that she could be heard three or four blocks away. I wandered .around for a while and bought a Good Housekeeping Magazine-to take home to my mother. On the inside of the cover were the names of some famous authors. Among them was the name of Madeline MacDonald. l wondered what she had written to make her famous, so I turned the pages till l came to ?O her article. Its title Was: MY SUCCESS WITH COL-BURN-ING. The last word was spelled: C-O-L dash B-U-R-N dash I-N-G. I would have read it then and there, but I was be- ginning to feel hungry, and therefore looked around for an eating place. Upon inquiry I found that three blocks away was a famous night club where good food was served at rea- sonable prices. I turned my steps in that di- rection. In perhaps ten minutes I was seated at a table ordering food. When the waiter went away to get my order, the orchestra struck a few chords of music and two young ladies glided out onto the mirror-like dance floor in the middle of the room. I had never in all my born days seen such a lively pair of females. They did a song and dance number that would have made anyone's hair stand on end. After they left the floor, the orchestra leader announced that: Ladies and gentle- men-you have just witnessed the Misses An- nette Wiggin and Mary Young in a specialty song and dance number entitled 'SPEED'. The waiter brought my order and I began to eat, but the food was very bad and I called the waiter's attention to the fact. He was very indignant. I put up such a protest that he lost his head and called a couple of his fellow men. I was borne aloft in their brawny arms and de- posited in the gutter. The jolt awakened me and I found that we had landed at the flying field. I had fainted when the pilot began to loop and tailspin. The scenes which I thought were real had been crazy dreams. The pilot looked around and grinned at me. I tried to grin back at him but the attempt was a total failure. He got out of his cockpit and then helped me out of mine. I thanked him kindly for demonstrating to me what flying really was like and made a bee-line for the nearest exit from the field.
