MOTIOX PICTURE MAGAZINE 169 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Answer Man lias handed us a letter from one of his most interesting correspondents, and here it is. Judge for yourselves if it is not worthy of a place here : Dearest Axswee Max : Good afternoon. Alas and Alack, my employer lias went to the Ball Game, and left me all alone. Ain't that tuff? And Oh Mr. Answer Man dear, aren't you just dippy over McGraw and Home Run Baker, and — and Crane? Whee ! I am. Have I ever been to a baseball game? 'Course I have. Just Wimst. And do you know dearie, everyone told me I'd see baseball fans at the game, but blowed. if I saw a bloomin' one. And it was SO hot too. You see I went alone, and had no one to explain to me, so I gently tapped the gentleman to my right on the arm, and inquired of him as to the possible wherabouts of the "Baseball fans" I had heard so much about over in England, and Mr. Answer Man dear, he laught, and said "Well, what do you think a fan is?*' just think of the nerve of the gent. I was not to be put off so easily, well so I ups and says "I don't think nothin', but a fan IS an instrument used by the ladies to agitate the air and cool the face. Ahem" This is the most pathetic part of it all Mr. Answer Man darling, that foolish fool told me Z, (an innocent, unsophisticated, dear mama's girl that I am) just think of it, that I had his animal. Now what could he mean. I looked all around me but I didn't see any dog or cat or any other animal, and I'm positive he said that I had his dog ... or was it sheep? I just cawn't remember which. DO enlighten me PLEASE. (Do pardon me a moment dear, I have such an AWFUL pain in my tympanum) Do you play the Cremona? I'm just crazy about the violin, also Crane. And I just COULDN'T get used to seeing the three "Pillows'' on the ground. I'd see a man run from one pillow to another like a wild-cat. What was HE running for, no one was chasing him, was there? I didn't see anyone. And Rippy, dear, the funniest part of it all, was that after he'd run around the field like mad, he slid about three feet in the sand, almost accidentally killing himself, and touched the pillow he started from, the umpire shouted "SAFE''. The big boob! That poor fellow almost killed himself. Some folks are SO foolish, arn't they? (But baseball is SO interesting. I think) And Oh yes. While I was sitting intensely interested in the game, that same simple umpire shouts "Strike One." so I smote the gink nearest me (to my left) a delicious whack on the cupola, but no one DRESS GOODS AGENTS WANTED To introduce our very complete Fall line of beautiful wool suitings, wash fabrics, fancy waistings, silks, hdkfs, petticoats, etc. Up fa date N.
