Bumped By Buttons.

“I came pretty near getting killed the other day,” said the flat dweller. “There are two buttons on one of my waists that I can’t button to save my life. I generally ask some of the children on the stoop as I go out to button them, but that day I thought I’d have it* done in the elevator. The tlevator man was so gratified that I honored him In that way he forgot all about running the elevator. Let it go, buttoning my waist. Never thought of itjagaln till it nearly bumped the life out of both of us in the cellar.”
