Dueling is coming back! has been modernized no end, and is still against the law, but we firmly believe it will be very popular this summer! fh The revival came about in this two young men about town, out on a party, became very much enamored of a young lady, and decided to fight for her hand... . the young lady being very romantic, suggested a duel and the rivals agreed one of the aforesaid rivals, however, was a very cagey lad and when he won the toss and choice of weapons he cried ‘Cocktails at five paces at dawn!” pf “Seconds” were chosen, even “Thirds” and “Fourths” and_ the dueling party repaired to a well- known roadhouse. .... . Came the dawn and there on the historic lawn of this famous inn the two young gallants crossed cocktails. ... . It was a thrilling contest indeed and the victor and vanquished were carried from the field of honor amid great cheers. — “Please say something about dan- cing,” writes B. A. of Ellwood City, Pa. “Is the ‘Charleston’ still the rage and do you know anything about the ‘Java?’ ” the Charleston is It’s a terrible looking dance and I never would get the hang of the darn thing anyway. I don’t know what B. A. means by the “Java” .... Maybe he means that song “A Cup of Coffee, a Sandwich, ete.” Paul Whiteman has a book out called “Jazz,” but I don’t imagine it will burn the world up .... it’s in- teresting in spots Finally got around to “Fix Bayonets” by Thomanson it’s one of the best books that’s ever come out of the war and the sketches by the author are great stuff. ..... Also read “The Mauve Decade,” by Thomas Beer, and while I must admit I didn’t get about much during the “Nice Nineties,” I enjoyed it very much if that period was mauve, my curiosity is aroused as to what color this decade is—probably orange and gin! pf We take great pleasure in printing a letter from C. W. Steele, of Lake- land, Fla. . Here’s a man that believes in being kind to his fellow- men! “Dear Judge, Jr.: Have greatly appreciated your list of thirst quenchers and in turn would like to suggest another—The Louisi- ana Fizz.’— 1 cup of white of eggs 1 cup of white sugar 1 cup of lemon juice 2 cups of Gordon water A teaspoonful of cream Shake in shaker with cracked ice until it reaches a creamy white sub- stance and then obey that impulse!” . We thank you, Mr. Steele, we thank you! There seems to be a dearth of dance hits just now the few revues that have opened recently have been flops as far as the music was concerned.

Grey Friend” (The Girl Red-hot Grandma T= wrinkled old face and the bonnet of lace That grandmother really should wear— Alas and alack, they will never come back— For grandma has shingled her hair. Her face has been lifted, her figure’s been shifted, Her stockings are saucily rolled; She visits ménages that. sell mud massages— Oh, where is the grandma of old? The grandmas of fiction endure sad affliction; They're meek. lavender-scented — and Now grandmas ride horses and sue for divorces— Then marry some cinema sheik. The grandma who sat in a cottage or flat, And knitted her grandchildren mitts, Now spends half her day at a smart matinée, And tea dances then at the Ritz. For grandma demands just a few monkey glands, A facial, a smoke and a drink, And when she parades all the gay younger blades Give grandma a tumble, and wink. But sometimes I feel that it isn’t quite real, That I glimpse ‘neath cosmetic veneer, Just a sad, wrinkled face ‘neath a bonnet of lace, And the tiniest trace of a tear.
