F.D. Wead Must Ge in
Style Even if He Is
to Wear Bracelet
F. D. Wead, militant member of the
Real Estate exchange and tho little
lamb of -the Water board, is wearing the
cutest wrist watch, all finished in silver
with Its face bc-spangled with red num
bers. Efflmlnate? Wcad queried when asked
the reason for tho ornamental arm. "It's
useful. I can glance down at my wrist
when I'm playing golf or driving an au
tomobile and sec Just what time It Is."
"Oh, it keeps time? explained a fel
low member of the Water board. "My,
oil my!"
Wead says he Intimated to Santa Claus
that such a present would not be Inap
propriate, and when he rose from his
downy couch on Christmas morn, lo, the
watch was In his sock, ticking merrily
away.
It Is needlesa to remark that the watch
serves no vital function at Water board
meetlnbs, for when R. Beecher Howell
and his gang gathers to transact the
business of tho Metropolitan Water Dis
trict time ceases, the hours drag on and
on and like Tennyson's brook the teerel
sessions and tho arguments with con
tractors run on forever.
Still, tho watch Is a cute little contraption.
