WHISPERINGS 
We found the following unsigned item 
tucked under the office door this morn- 
ing and while we do not publish unsigned 
items as a rule, this is too good to pass 
on to the waste basket: . 
‘Two well known Manchester gentle- 
men whose names we will call for short 
Mr. Inquisitive and Mr. Newlywed 
met a few days ago as the latter was hur- 
rying home to wifie and the former was 
hoeing in his garden. After the casual 
how-do-you-do,’’ Mr. — Inquisitive 
asked: . 
‘* How are the folks at your house, ’’ 
to which Mr. Newlywed _ replied, 
ee 
Very well, I thank you.’ : 
In the meanwhile Mr. Newlywed 
was striding rapidly toward his home, 
when he is again hailed by Mr. Inquisi- 
tive, who cries: 
‘“ What is that, a boy ora girl at your 
house?’’ 
Mr. Newlywed replies, “‘It’s a daugh- 
ter,’’ and continues on his way. When 
quite a distance away Mr. Inquisitive 
shouts: 
“ee . . 
Is your wife going to nurse the 
baby?’’ to which Mr. N. replies in dis- 
gust, “‘ I don’t know.”’ 
When Mr. N. gets home he fears that 
Mr. Inquisitive may have thought his 
last remark a trifle impetuous and in the 
largeness of his heart, in appreciation of 
the interest shown, he penned the 
following epistle and mailed it ‘‘ special 
delivery’’ to Mr. Inquisitive: 
** Dear Sir: 
‘* Referring to our conversation of 
yesterday afternoon, my wife as decided 
to nurse the baby. If I can give you 
any other items of interest I shall be very 
happy to do so. 
“* Yours very truly 
‘“Mr. NeEwLywep.’’

The old biblical story of the five wise 
and the five foolish virgins was brought to 
mind a few days ago when the two town 
committees-—on additional water supply 
and on purchase of electric plant—went 
to Boston to confer with different en- 
gineers, etc., on their respective work. 
It happens that some of the members 
serve on both committees. One com- 
mittee was to meet at 9.30 and the other 
at 11, and some of those who were to 
meet at eleven aceepted the invitation to 
ride over the road to Boston by auto. 
Everything went well until they reached 
the Revere Boulevard, which they found 
barred against them, and as a result they 
had to make a wide detour from their 
path out through Malden. Despite this 
they would have reached Boston in time 
for the meeting, by speeding up a littie, 
but when they reached Harvard Bridge, 
between Cambridge and Boston, some- 
thing gave way on the auto and it was a 
case of “‘hoof it’? the rest of the 
There’s a World 
of Comfort 
In a perfect fitting pair of glasses. 
They should set easy upon the nose, 
not make a large red-ring or groove 
upon it nor feel tike they were cut-

We give you comfort 
as well as the glass.
