“No Openings Nowheres”

She Is fortunate In having girl chums who draw roses from their friends now and then. The other afternoon one of her rosy friends pinned a bright red one on her and she sallied forth into the street to make other women envious. She had not gone far when she felt a tug at the shoulder and turned to see a strange woman. “Where’d you git that rose?" asked the stranger covetously. "A friend of mine gave it to me,” was the answer, produced with some chill. “▲ friend of yours? In a store?" “No, not in a store." “Well, hain’t there no openings nowheresF’ “Not that I know of.” “Humph! Just my luek. I’m just craxy for a rose, and when I saw you I just knowed there was a fall opening somewhere."
