He probably had a salary of only two thousand dollars a year. If the minimum wage for men were a legal require- ment, he would be getting six thousand dollars and would have been carefully put to bed in some comfortable club or hotel. Oh, the pity of it!

The slogan of the true man is, ‘Back to the home!’” With these ringing words the Rev. O. H. P. Pankhurst, of the Men's Anti-Political Union, ended his open air specch on Maiden Lane last night.

Inez Milbelmont last night eloped with Reggic Patenlair of the chorus of “ The Moonshine Boy,” now playing at the Casino. Milbelmont mére has from the first been strenu- ously opposed to the match. But nightly young Inez’s car has stood before the stage entrance of the Casino. Nightly Inez has occupied the third seat from the aisle in the second row. And nightly Reggie has dazzled the other men in his dressing room with jeweled dog collars, brace lets and rings. And Reggie's little flat, filled as it is with Pomeranians and pianolas, has for months been the envy of every man along the Great White Way. Now—the wedding bells, Inez but follows in the footsteps of many of her Bryn Mawr classmates. Advice to the Love-Torn S. V.
