RANDOM REMINDER
MISTAKEN IDENTITY
It is not usual for refined and charming ladies to have three gin bottles on the back seat of their cars. But this one did. It was during one of those occasional periods when <t was not easy to obtain
spirits at the hotels or bottle stores. She made the mistake of leaving her car unlocked when she went into a supermarket. When she
came back, her three lovely bottles had disappeared. But there was a note, in fact two of them. One said "My need is greater than thine.” The other was for $lO.
This was just a little on the dog's nose. For the $lO note was hardly sufficient for her to buy three bottles of gin. The rascal had taken advant-
age of the situation, and her absence from it. But she laughed delightedly: not only because she is by nature lighthearted. For it seemed to her that SlO was more than sufficient to meet whatever costs might be involved in replacing three bottles full of distilled battery water.
