I do 4 ben ding and squatting and twist ing exercises, each 16 times, 3'th a rifle, which might slim i down if I am not too slim enpugh. Incidently, It’s equally impor tant for slender people to ex ercise after 40 to keep their jonts unrusted. A well-bred Briton would no more forget his morning “jerks” than he’d omit brushing his teeth. . . .In my time we’ve had 4 flare-ups of new games—mah Jongg, backgammon, gin rum my, and now it’s kenosta, if I caught the name correctly. The Omaha housewives now gather after a skimpy slug at their chores and! play from 11 a. m. till it’s time to open a can for die old man. Hideous game, no doubt. (But by comparison dominos is intellectual.) Which is cuter, silent Cal Cooledge in overalls and rake or Tom Dewey in a $190 suit picking his teeth with a straw ? Or maybe this is better yet. The other day Clair Mulvihill, a local attorney, got this one off his chest, in speaking of Gene O’Sullivan the democrat caniAate for Congress, he ask^lllhad evey given much thought^) the use of a Buffet ? j I replied particularly. So ( he then explained to me, that ( said buffet was t ?nerally used to store.china and etc, and was generally stood in an out of way place in the din room. And he thought it’d be a excellent idea, if the voters of the 2nd district would find some out of way space to store another Buffet. . . . Catch on?
