Giving Extracts from Some of Their Recent Work, with Comment by Mete Man. c «6 CARTWRIGHT blew a ring of blue smoke to the ceiling, and then leaned over and knocked the ash from his cigar into the waste basket. Whereupon the accu- mulation of waste paper caught fire, spread through- out the room, bringing out the fire department The irate owner of the buiiing afterward ascertaining the cause, swears out a warrant for Cartwright’s immediate arrest for incendiarism. “Reginald took the cigar from his mouth and reflectively contemplated the inch ash.”* Which at that reflective second dropped from the cigar and scattered over the front of Reggie's coat and vest. Reggie arose hastily, with an oath, and brushed the accumulation to the floor, the janitress afterward observing that Reggie was the ‘‘ sloppiest ’” renter in the building. “* Arthur took a cigarette from a silver case and touched a lighted match to i Arthur did this very thing a half- dozen times during what is alleged to have been a ten-minute conversa- tion. Such a smoker as Arthur is! We advise him to con- sult a physician, and the sirl had better re- frain from marrying so inveterate a cigarette fiend. Here is a tip from a smoker, sweet heroine. Have your Ar- thur eat generously of apples. They stifle the appetite. “Mary stood upon the porch and discerned her lover's approach on the hill a half mile away."” Mary should get“a job as a-lookout on the Lu tania, Such splendid eye- sight going to waste on a mere lover!

Then if you like it, whether your taste and the art is good or bad does not matter much, for you can enjoy it without being mo- lested or made afraid, and for the time being quit being a hypocrite. a mystery to men, equally Hamletto—"* Yes, | know that egg.” HOUSEHOLD HINTS. ARBOLIC acid should never be used in cook- ing. It is not conducive to good health and imparts a never-to-be-forgotten flavor. Don’t be unreasonable. If you put your shoes in the bureau drawer you cannot expect your hus- band to find them for you under the table. If you find a button lying around the house it is safe to assume it did not come off of your hus- band’s hat. “Good evening, Miss Fly; glad to see you're in such’ good “ Say, Bill, that must be one of those Brush League games."’ comicbooks.com
