Along the street there flirts | A puff of powder, a ruffle of skirts, | A bare knee gleams in the sun, Hats off! The flappers are passing on. Black and brown and yellow they gleam, t Little bobbed heads like heads in a dream, Earrings as long as they grow, An hour ago I heard Palm Beach And listened in on Texas) So now I guess I'll get-waghed up And go downstairs to breakfast. --James E, Fesler.

He had | been shot at by hundreds of police- men and had been pierced by at least | a dozen bullets, but evidently he was | too tough to hurt. At last, however, | he wag captured and condemned to | die in the electric chair. The fateful day came, and Bill was | led to the execution room and strap- ped in the chair. It took six men to [do it, and they had their hands full, | at that, Five, ten minutes, passed, and | | hard-boiled Bill's air of bravado be- gan to fade. He grew a shade paler, and seemed a trifle nervous. | "Alright, come on!" he growled, | "turn on the juice and have it over | with!" "T-turn it on, man!" gtuttered the | prison electrician, in an awed voice. | "It's been on for five minutes!" --Sinbad. Tripping the Light Fantastic. Helen: "What sort of a dancer is Jack?" 4 May: "Not bad, he's really very light on your feet." --Mrs. Ralph Dell. Not every actor who cries for bread receives a role, Motions and Emotions. The boat began to roll and pitch, The judge clung to the rail; He didn't like the bounding waves, His solemn face grew pale; But happily a clever thought Came to his legal brain, He over-ruled the motion And felt all right again. --Lillian 'Radke. ; Quite Right.

Not a cry did she utter as her head was placed upon the block, nor did she flinch when the executioner lifted his axe. Nor did she shed a tear as she heard the crisp whistle of the descending axe. " Thud! Her head dropped from the block, and the lifeless body of Lady Jane Grey flopped ungracefully in another direction, for Lady Jane Grey was a lazy hen which had ceas- ed to lay. / Headquarters, 110 West 40th Street, New York City.
