WEDNESDAY

Suppose you knocked 'em all down on Easter.  The big day here was next 
day, Monday.  New suits galore.  Neffer did I see such a stylishness- 
in this[underlined] country.  For such a poor, suffering, starved, 
miserable, down-trodden country, full of pig-dogs who grab all the 
extra beds and spare rooms, they showed up fairly well.  We could just 
imagine most any street at home.  OH, WELL.--
