JUDGE THE LITERARY CRITIC AT HOME M" Critic: How do you like this dinner, dear? Mr. Crit} This dinner, while of a conventional pattern and much-used subject, is not without merit. Though certainly of no great depth or matter, it has a certain freshness which makes it palatable, at least for the hot weather. Mus. Critic: Is your iced-tea cold enough? Mr. Critic: The ived-tea, added as a kind of supple- ment to the main theme, shows a keen sense of what is ap propriate for summer fare. Mus. Critic: Do you care for the salad? Mr. Critic: In that aspect alone does the repast fail to maintain its usually agreeable flavor, It has not the proper lightness of touch necessary to this sort of thing. Mrs. Critic: I’m sorry you don't like the salad, bert. Mr. Critic: These blemishes in handling are minor, however, and do not affect one’s enjoyment greatly. The dinner, as mentioned before, has several points in its favor, and it is reasonable to hope for better things from its cook in the future. —Henry Atrrevs Exasrenaten Faturn—For Pete's sake—consider your Adam’s apple!!

Thrice had the sight of 7) aa Sirella’s perfect limbs and smile de- Bees vastated—ves, even panicked the pompous Court. Truly, Sirella had “Boy, if I can make that tree!!" everything a girl could ask for—and And did the less fortunate and ifted sisters of Sirella worship and extol her rare qualities? They did not. Probably the kindest things they had to say about her was, “That gir has all the luck. Imagine, three times it Court and every time she's the sen- sation of the season! Oh, it won't last. She'll get hers some day, mark my words!” And did all the envious, spiteful, catty remarks about Sirella come true? Did Sirella really get “hers” in the end? Alas, Sirella did. And all her beauty and charm and loads and loads of h could not help. The fourth time Sirella was presented in Court it was for a fraudulent income tax re- turn and the poor little bootleggeress had to take a two-year rap. “Young man, don’t you dare blow that horn—my husband is deathly —Anrtuvr Erennero sick in here!” 15 comicbooks.com
