Sikora felt thrilled at the sight of these luxuries. Then the undertaker came in and she explained to him. The neighbors said: "Are you going to Mr. Sikora's funeral? It's going to be a big funeral. I got invited yesterday." Wabansia Avenue was alive with automobiles. Innumerable relatives of Mr. and Mrs.
