She got her fashion hints, etiquette and behavior from the questions and answers department of an Agricultural Monthly. Gabby Bill, the gay young drummer from the city, met the Peach at a lawn fête. Things progressed nicely. Then unfortunately for Willie, daughter induced father to send her to a finishing school. There she met the other kind and found her ideal. Gabby Bill came to town when she was home for the summer vacation. "Don't you know me?" he asked when they met. "Rully," she said, "it seems that I have seen you somewhere. Are you the man who tunes the piano?" As he moved away he kept his hand on his solar plexus. Moral: Anybody can win unless there happens to be a second entry.
