Blue s 88, Ripley Phone 79-R. Ripley and 'ISE. By BILL SMILEY RIGHT 1N THE EYEI Lever you decide to do some .research on the lower forms of wit, 'I can tell" you how to go • about. it. Just get yourself a black eye. • \ I; had .a doozer recently. My wife gave it to me. All' right. Not that way. She was sitting in . 'the car, waiting for me tocarry the gro- ceries into the house, . through the rain ; Just as I bent and reached, - for the car door to open it and ask : her if that: was all,, she open= ed` it smartly from the inside to. ask me why I hadn't brought out an umbrella. When the door nailed' the •in the eye, ' 1. thought 1 ' was a goner. My, wife ; shrieked : and.. ran ` straight in- t° the : house to- see . whether my Y • "toss 'of ,limb or eye", accident; policy was 'paid up. Within a 'few muiutes., the eye was the ' size and color of a bar- tender's artender.'s'beezer. ' But' by the time we'd. finished arguing about whose fault it had been, it was obvious that I'd live. * * *... We; didn't have °a piece of steak,; and if we'd had, I doubt that it would have been sacrificed. But the 'Old Girl, bless her, dug out • .some :.hamburg that was going a bit blue, and Made—me- with ademe-with a big hamburg poultice, on the injured ; optic. Right : off ; 'the • ice, it felt pretty good at that, and ' I, dropped off to sleep, moaning but brave. Dur- ing the night, • the bandage work ed loose, and when I woke in . the dark, I thought the eye .had .fallen out.: But" it was only hamburg, all over . the pillow. Next morning, the orb looked like a purple golf bali:,'We; patch- ed it up as best we could, Nand,1 ',set off to face the wits. The comments were hilarious. They ranged from the simple, dry brilliance of "Hoo ' hitcha?" end '"Forget to duck, eh?" to the' coy, insinuating, "I, : knew she'd catch up with ya some day." They ran , the scintillating gamut from the • inevitable, "1 suppose ya ran in- to a door" to the ineffably hum- - of ous.: 'sally, "Meet the former- welterweight champ of the Smiley. household." * * • * I came back with some ;real:.. funies myself. "My : wife;" .I re- ,plied:^,°"Footwork: isn't what it • used to be," I " admitted. .• "Yotta' see the other guy,""1; quipped. I can joke along„with a as: wellas the next bird • . ` But .after . a while, in fact if I remember rightly, it was Just af- ter the . fourteenth "Hoo hitcha?” T' began getting a 'little sore. I mean,. fun's fun, you know, but, after all. So, . when. the : next' joker made his move, I told him, dolefully, that : -a ° maiden lady, who didn't like my column had thrown ' acid In . my face, and that I'd never have the sight of it again. 'lie turned green. • next -`;customer was a wo- man, who tittered, `That'll teach you . to write things about your wife in that column of yours. 1 gave her- a gentle, sad look from my good eye, and suggested, . that she not let : the . divorce alienate her from my wife. I. 'left her with her mouth open. • KINGSBRIDGE • last week) Mrs Jack Kenny, 'Mrs: P. E. Murray, Detroit were week -end visitors. Week -end visitors with Mr. Ter- ry . Dalton were. Messrs.
