It seenis that Lela 1-1ughs has taken up a unique hobby. Not so very long ago Lela was sitting in the room of one of her friends. The friend remarked that she was tired looking at T6m's (?) picture; so she begins writing his name all over the frame and ends up by putting huge ears on the guy. (This is where Lela got her idea). To the rescue of her friend Lela comes a flying and immediately turns poor ole Tom into the spit image of handsome Rhett Butler.
