Show "---AND SELL THOSE TICKETS" "--and sell, those tickets!" Fifteen minutes later found me entering the west door of the hotel. Just as I started through the revolving door from the cut- side, a woman started from the inside . She was wearing one of those new hats, and it shocked me so that I was unable to do anything hut stare. About that time someone else got on, so I decided I must "be near my station. Accordingly, I got out. But lo and behold, I was outside again'. Now revolving doors always did confuse me. It was only with a supreme effort that I backed out to the sidewalk to fret a better start, and charged te- ward it, intending to dash through. I dashed, and I guess my heel tripped on the section just behind me, anyhow, the door dashed too. Now I think I know what they mean when they say they were just hanging around. After thoroughly mopping up the floor, I got to my feet and started to pick up my books. Just as I stooped over, someone decided they wanted to leave, and I did a unique 50 yard dash. On the next time around, I jumped just as the thing passed the inside lobby. Well, at least I was in. How to get my books. Ho one was coming from either direc¬tion, so I rushed in, scooped the books and papers up in my arms, and rushed out again, When things began to be a little clearer, I sew that I was holding several telephone directories. Who made telephone booths and revolving doors the same color, anyhow? This time, after replacing the directories, I quietly sneaked up on the door. I just about had one book when the darn thing start¬ed up again and I found part of me in one section and the rest in another. Somebody turned out the lights at that point and I don't remember anything until someone in white began talking to me. At first I thought he was an angel, but he could have been a street cleaner for all I know. It's all kind of hazy, but Scotch¬men and elephants never say die, and I do remember my last words'. Looking the person in white straight in the eye, I asked him if he wouldn't like to buy a ticket to the concert. Reed Anderson |
