                                                        How They Would Grouse!

                                         When Karl Kraus told Rebecca Grauss, "Woman,

                                         why don't you change that ugly blouse?"                   She

                                         became in•fur•i•a•ted and screamed at her

                                         would-be spouse.


               "You're a little mouse, a lazy louse, and a drunken souse," she said.


               And then, with the point of her shoe, she kicked Kraus straight out
               of her house.







                                                                                                      Story 282

                                                                                                          Ousted







               The "left " and the "right " began to joust.  The "left " wanted Mr. Nixon

               unhoused.  Then soon came the Watergate roust, which proved to be the

               president’s White House oust.




                                                                                                       Story 283
