Life The Night Shift in the Gold es ACON an’ eggs, an’ some coffee, an’ some toasted rolls. Speaking of rolls, daddy, I suppose you got one? They're such elegant cars. Well, I'm ly su'prised you ain't; a big hansum man like you. You'd ought to get one. Well, I allus ays to myself that taxis were cheaper, but it makes a diff’runce to a girl when she goes shoppin’ with a gen’mun fren’, Salesgirls allus show taxi-shoppers the medium-priced gowns, an’ you wouldn't want me to be insulted like that, would you? I don’t care myself, but I jes’ couldn't stand it fer you, being insulted that way. Now, if you came in your Rolls, they wouldn't never make istake like that, and then when you weren't using it I could drive around th’ Park in it without never worryin’ about th’ meter, like in a taxi. You wouldn't have no taxi bill to pay for me when I came back. Maybe I shouldn't worry about » allus such things, but that’s my way tryin’ to save money for other people. I hate to see my gen’mun fren’ imposed on by taxi drivers. That's why I think you should ought to get a Rolls. Ain't you a scream, now, askin’ me how you would pay for it? With a check, of course. Great big, successful men like you allus can’ write checks. Poor little me, I never can do it right. I make the aw- fullest mistakes. Some day, if you're real nice, I'll let you come up and go over my check book for me. It’s in th’ most annoyin’ state. I never can tell whether the bank owes me money, or I owe th’ bank. An’ they allus take ad- vantage of me. I just need some smart man like you to add up the figures for me an’ show them where they are wrong. Maybe you could come up to-morrow after- noon? That's too bad. Well, never mind, I'll save it for you un- til you can spare time. I wouldn't even think of lettin’ any one else even look into my check book. ~~ I think it’s immod - Don’t Ask Me Another! No.2 est, sort of.

(Answer on page 30) inapoem PREPAREDNESS IN CHINATOWN once, “My nights are fragrant with fair dreams.” Well, they never was before, but they're goin’ to be now, | hope. I'm goin’ to stop on th’ way out an’ pick up a teeny little bottle of perfume to remind me of you when you're not around, They've got some of th’ darlingest perfumes here; only fifty dollars an ounce, too. Of course, there is some for twenty-five, but that isn’t the sort of perfume I had sort of associated with you. Well, no, dearie, I'm afraid they wouldn't take a check; they wouldn't even take my check. These supper-club people are so suspicious. But next time we come herc, we'll bring enough cash, won't you? Well, I suppose we must go if you have that luncheon engagement with th’ big hem-an’-haw man from Missouri, I’m sure you'll show him a great big time. Where are you going to take him to th’ Mills Hotel? James Kevin McGuinness. Would you let a doctor vaccinate you? ot so you'd notice it, dearie. Ennui W IF E: Whereis Ostend, John?
