*PICTURES *PRIZES *PUNCH <— ’Twas Ever Thus Bjones had been in a nasty accident and, upon regaining consciousness, found himself in| a hospital ward, with a beauti- ful girl standing by his bed. “Who are you?” he asked, dazedly. “I'm a trained nurse,” she replied. “A trained nurse, eh!” ejac- ulated Psmith. “Well, let’s see some of your tricks.”—Chris- tian Register, ’Twas Ever Thus ut a book? =| : No—that wouldn't do. She's got a book. —Better Plumbing. 'Twas Ever Thus This is the time of year when the girls of America go to At- lantie City to hold their annual one-piece conference.—Puck. 'Twas Ever Thus Reveler (who has done rather well by himself at a dinner given in honor of the Bishop of Brun by the Duchess of Blankshire and who, having been utterly unable to locate the key-hole in the door leading to his rooms at the Albany or, for that matter, to find the key it- self, has now strayed to the Hotel Bismuth and approached the polite but rather tired room clerk with a view to engaging a night’s lodging) : 1 say—hic— my good fella—hic—have you a |, —hic—room—hic— — — Night Clerk (who has been standing on his feet all day, first on one foot and then on the other, and who ia now about to knock off): Have you a res-|| ervation? Reveler: What d’ye—hic— think I am—hic—an Indian? —Punch. ‘Twas Ever Thus Pop: Because there isn’t any Santa Claus. Little Willie: Why hasn’t Peggy Joyce ever married Santa Claus, Pop? —The New Yorker. THE INQUIRING PHOTOGRAPHER Every Day He Asks a Question and Pictures Those Questioned THE QUESTION: How's tricks? THE PLACE: The United Cigar Store on the corner of Unter Den Linden and State Street, Stockholm. THE ANSWERS: Kahn, Banker: This great nation of ours will work out its own sal- vation in_ its own way. Look at the Boston Tea Party, look at the Hay- Pauncefote Treaty, look at the Panama Canal, look at * that man over there with a yachting cap. Yan- kee grit will win out every time. Otto Kahn, Backer: No, women should not remove their hats in church, In the first place, a wo- man’s hat used to be pinned to her head, there- by making re- moval awk- ward; and in the second lace, women’s ats are no longer pinned to their heads, but what has that got to do with it? Otto Kahn, Banquet Guest: I don’t believe that the Base- ball used in the big leagues is any livelier than it was in the old days of . Willie eeler and “Iron Man” . McGinity. The batsmen to-day are more alert fe and the pitchers less so—that’s all. Otto Kahn, f director Los I Angeles and Salt Lake R.R., trustee Rutgers College, mem- ber English © Speaking Union | and good fel- low: You can search me, Otto ‘las LOVE VS. DUTY Tottenville: What has become of the old-fashioned pug dog? All you see these days are those disgusting airedales, chows, wolfhounds or the so-called Doberman pinscher. No mother wants to see her daughter with one of those cigarette smoking, flask-toting, jazzing, addle- brained “purps” and yet they seem to be all the fashion. I see they have taken to wearing Oxford bags, as well. What next? Why doesn't somebody do something about it? FOUR BRAKEMEN. AN OLD ONE Altoona: Can anyone tell me the rest of an old song which used to be a favorite about the time of the land riots? The chorus went something like: “Behold, what manner of men are these, That wear....” I used to sing it quite a bit as a girl, but since a derrick fell on my head last winter I have quite forgotten the words. MRS. J. H. STICKEY. A MEDICO PROTESTS Mott Street: As a practicing physician I wish to go on record being distinctly against the prevalent form of delicatessen sandwich. It is a little known fact that most of the common diseases of to-day, such as coryza and enlarged knuckles, are distinctly traceable to these subtle instruments of destruc- tion. As I say to my patients, “every time you order a Hot Mamma Special, you are put- DAILY LIFE ting another nail in your cof- fin,” What the country needs is plenty of good, old-time, fresh poison ivy such as I had when a boy, and lots of it. Think it over. FRIEND OF THE FAMILY. GIRLISH CHARM Yorkville: I am sick of hear- ing all these snide remarks about us flappers and how we dress and I want to ask these “fresh guys" where they get off? Would any of them give us their seat in the subway if we went back to long skirts? I guess not. Woman has found her independence and the men are just sore about it, that’s all. Hurrah for bobbed hair, short skirts, cigarettes and freedom. If any “mere man” wants to make something out of it, let him ask himself suppose it was his sister? I guess that will hold him. INDIGNANT. COMMENDABLE THRIFT Bedford Ave.: Some time ago I noticed in your good paper a plan to save McMurtrie Boule- vard. I thought it was a very good idea at the time, and said so to my wife. Ever since, I have been saving boulevards and have persuaded a number of my friends to do likewise. Altogether we have saved quite a number and feel that we would like to turn them in for something useful. Will you tell us where we can exchange these boulevards for premiums or was the whole thing just a silly hoax? COLLECTOR, DOLLARS FOR CRIME TIPS Listen to this, folks.
