The New Webster R®* noun. Rent is what you pay the landlord for the privi- e of complaining. You can com- plain about. anything from the ab- sence of heat in your apartment to the presence of children and player pianos in the adjoining apartments. Rents vary. They range any- where from more than you can af- ford to two or three times what you'd like to pay. There are also cheaper rents, just as there are four leaf clovers, and you're lucky if you ean find them. “IUs foolish to pay rent,” say the advertisements, and you mark the ads and show them to the land- lord on the first of the month. “You don’t think I'm foolish?” you ask him; and he answers: “You don’t think Iam, either. do you?” So you make out a cheek which is negotiable, and receive in return a pt which isn’t. Then you compare the entries in your bankbook and the stubs in your checkbook, say, “Gee whiz!” and go outside to get a wet towel to wrap around your head. R. C. O'Brien rec Most fathers find some difficulty in expressing themselves, but it’s different when the parent happens to be a football coach. Motner—Ie's a nice chap, and will make a true husband. Movern Miss—Yeh, too true! Letter Laugh Legion A Ave. 4 A* Be Queath. Deuce. Stroy. Rupt. Feet. Hovah. Cheeve. - Land. J. Bird. KX. Sheer. | L. Astie. | M. Bezzle. N. Ergy. O. Dor. P. Tit. Q. Rate.
