Red-head Didn't Like Observation

MANCHESTER, England. May 4 —- (CP) — Sam, the milk bar at- tendant, stopped a dish o! fruit trifle with his face. It came from a red-head named Denise. who frequently popped in for trifle and coffee with her friend Chrissie.

Sam didn't mind the trifle-in- the-puss so much as the mockery which Denise swept into the floor when she threw it. Denise refused to pay -— but s police court msglstrau said she must and. incidentally, gave Sam some ad- vice.

This is whet happened: Denise was telling Chrissie about the man she wanted to marry. "He would have to be s man of polish," she said, "sensitive to she's every good mood and able to interpret thesis. And he would ave to be able to stand on his own legs. . .”

That was when 5am earned his trifle. _

Leaning over the counter. he said: "You don't want a husband. Miss, you want a piano." -
