Art, listen to this. . Cam« Wednesday morning and We had ioat enough time to gat in those few lines before departing for Crystal Lake to catch a train for Chicag*. This trip started oat as a business trip. ^Then the little woman "decided it Would be nice for her to { go along*. We got the business! It was pretty well agreed that our shopping wouldn't include anything that could be purchased in / local stores so the deal didn't sound .too bad. Well, we arrived in the bi^ city, 'took a gander at the tall buildings and landed in Marshall Field's little . shop on State street. It seems the most important Item ' on our list was to buy a button. Yep. She lost a button off a suit; and coilldn't find a match for 'em anyplace. No luck. So at our insisten& e, we bought a whole new set of buttons^ We didnt want to go traipsin' an over Chicago look# mg for a button. - Then we rode those moving stair* ways and followed a lot of arrows that said "This way tq Santa Claus." The old boy was there just as the signs said. He had his wife with ' him, too. They both looked welldressed, but not as robust as last -year. It was raining. Saw a sign that interested me, so up we goes another couple of floors expecting to get a bite to eat. Couldn't Bee how we could get to the head of that line before supper _ time so we hit the streets and found a place that passed the censor board. They didn't serve too vach on jmu plate, but they charged enough to make a fellow feel real priviledged to 'eat a snack with them. That bite gmve us new life. So we told the better half that the . time had come (much as we'd Ske to stay shopping with her) for us to part ways. That was O. K. Our destination was many blacks away and being as how it was raining to beat hell, we started looking for a cab. That was quite a walk and you --should have seen our hat. We got back at the appeinted hour. Our shopping partner was a-gleamin'. She- had found jnst the item she had been looking all over for! It was checked so if we'd go pick it tip she'd dash over to another counter--"Just to look.™ There must have been 75 women ahead of me in that line and one little floor-walker trying to keep them in line. One* women had left her umbrella there the day before when it wasn't raining and now that it was raining couldn't she just -slip up to the head of the line and pick it up an<f anyhow she shouldn't nave to wait so long because her "check was from yesterday and the rest of these people just checked their stuff today. But, that little floor-walker held his ground. At long last wo got the big package and dropped back, thinking our better half would be right there waiting. But, no. She was gone. Eventually we met and, since time was getting by, decided to get a jcab and get to the depot. It wis raining. No cab. No nothin'. Busses were jammed to the doors. Off we goes under our own power for the depot. -Such crowds! With one minute to spare we got. onjthat train. Not a seat left! Now, this was gettin' beyond the funny ' Stage. Walking through the train we found the dining section. They could tell we weren't through travelers; but they didn't know how through we were- about that time. The man sakl we couldn't sit down Unless we bought a dinner. We sat. They set. We et. Never were wo so glad to get tack in the country. That's all. As for Chicago--You can have her. We don't want her. She's too big for me. *-- • Yours, £k I. F 3 a Kreutzer. 22I-5S3; Kraus, 508: Rodenkirk, 581; Did ihntth. 214-560: Downs, 517; V. Frennd, 509; N.
