When. Bill Pryor received a call from his wife, Peg, stating that his mother had been acting strangely, he went home to nvestigate. Upon arrival, he found his mother in the basement leaning against the jumping washing machine reading a book. And she Joooked perfectly content too, Immediately, he asked, “Mother, what are you doing?” “Why,” she answered, “I'm

After a half hour treatment with this old machine massaging, my back ailment is almost gone.” This could he a new therapeutic apparatus. . - » WHEN JIT COMES to age, a woman can't make up her mind. In her younger years, she wants ton look sophisticated. As the advancing-years stage approaches, she tries to recapture her youth.
Typical of this desire for
"sophistication was the 8-year-old
girl who went into’ a downtown lingerie department yesterday. Eying the lacy unmentionables, she said to the saleslady, “Do you have anything like this for beginners?” ~ » ~ REPAIR DAY AROUND the house usually means Purple Heart day for Dan Moriarity.

Refore his wife left on her visit next door, she said, "And, Dan, the hammer is in the closet, the nails in the basement, atid dan% forget the handages in the medicine cahinet.” It's so nice to have a man around the house.

When asked if he were a responsible person, one of the young men seeking the job answered, “Oh yes. I'm very responsible, You can check with my former employer. He always said I was responsible for every discrepency in the office.” This could be called unconscious honesty. ” » . . WHO DOESN'T ADORE a basket, with handle, a lid or hinge? 8t.

Assails Prices in Paris
NEW YORK Mar. 11 (UP)—Mrs. Harrison Williams, one of the world’s best dressed women, said today on her return from Europe Parisian clothes are too expensive. The prominent New York socialite, consistently one of the “World’s 10 Best-Dressed-Women,” arrived aboard the Constitution wearing a suit designed by Marcel Chai-
mont.
But it was almost the only one she could afford,
“All Paris clothes designers must come down in their prices if they want to hold the market,” Mrs. Williams said. “I don’t think anybody can afford to buy Parisian clothes unless they have no other interest. Personally, I'm a passionate gardener and I'd rather spend my
money on that.”
