EUREKA!

I have found what they do at the Sew club instead of sew. The real object is to develop more fluent scandal gabbers and keep the business and social affairs of the town adjusted. Hopes, fortunes and reputations are blasted there without the use of noisy dynamite. If your wife don’t go you’ve not a chance. Your past is dragged' in, laid on the table and the lid pried off. A man must boil his drinking water if there’s a Sew club in town. When wifey has the Sew club, hubby takes a book and ‘hikes to the garage. If he don’t like what’s in the book he can shut the darn thing up. You couldn’t shut their mouths at the Sew club If bees were swarmin.’ Sew clubs in general are about as necessary to art and culture, home and motherlood as a radiator is to a Franklin. Ain’t it sew? Rensselaer Sew clubs are different. They are all instructive and educational. We were surprised and ashamed the day we placed a dictaphone in the register. To be continued if I live. THE ERRAND BOY.
