-and there was the Duke. The Baroness was so upset that she has dropped the Duke and the Duchess from her guest list. And now the Duke is in the dog-house . -Flash!!!+I just heard thats Lord Joaquin Vienna, who is promoting a crusade against gangsters in the kingdom of Alviso, was badly bruised last evening when his gang chief, Raymond Fuller became annoyed at Lord Vienna's activities. And now the scene changes and we are in a court room-and let me see-ah- yes-it's James Perkins, Earl of Slough, and he is being sued by a poor young thing who believed everything he wrote in those sweet letters. This poor little creature's name is being withheld and we all sincerely hope the brute is properly taken care of! And now we seem to be on a race track-we are! Why it's the one that used to be the dog track-my-my-how the time flies! The gun goes off-Ah there's one far ahead of the rest-she looks familiar-she is sixty yards ahead of the rest-she just took a flying leap and she's five hundred yards ahead, what a speed demon-she finished- Ye Gods! The Princess! And will her poppa be mad!!! The Princess Marcella Perkins is shocking the royal family by being a second Babe Didrikson. And now we're in a courtroom again-and-it's just another divorce-just a minute and I'I1 ask the Judge what it's all about-Well, of all things-would you believe it? The lady asking for her divorce is none other than Countess Florence Bersano Turturici. She desires a divorce for the same reason Ann Harding desired hers way back in 1932. Her husband is being called, Count Florence Anthony Turturci, Earl of Dumps. And here we are in a gondola-and we have companyh-imagine that-I wonder if we're intruding-and guess who it is? None other than Knight Barton Pullan and his stolen princess, Marie Provenzano, from the realm of Milpitas of the house of Provenzano. I believe this ride is a special gift to them from Tony Gomes, who owns this floating drawing room. Hold your breathwhere we go-but where are we? Oh yes-in King William's court-and what's this?-they seem to have the court ruffian, Baron Elmo Higgins, up for trial. Wait a minute and I'll get the particulars. Here they are-it seems that Prince Mayo Bryce asked him a perfectly simple questionsif he was coming to Princess Nadine Well's tea party, and the Baron attempted to beat him. The Prince is suffering a bruised fist. Baron Higgins, is in pretty bad shape-he has a slightly dislocated nose- three broken ribs-extensive body bruises and two blackened eyes-Well let's go- O-boy-this is great-here we are at the Royal Clam Diggers Convention- listen to them cheer! Whatta mob, and whatta convention. Lady Josephine Bridgham has just appealed to them not to take Mama and Papa clams-but only the old maid and bachelor clams-because she had investigated and found that so many little children clams were getting into the crime wave due to the lack of guidance. The leading delef gates for this move are old friends-Princess Beatrice Costa is here and Baroness Josephine Dodson, Marchioness Aileen Drent, Countess Vernell Hemmingson, and Lady Viola Knoth. -And now here we are in the Royal garden-and there is Crown Prince Norman Smaha-he looks as though he had just seen Ruth Curtin-I'll go over and see what's the matter- Hi, Prince, what's wrong?-you look kinda burned up. f18l

SENIOR PROPHECY . . . , . . . Hear Ye! Hear Ye! All Ye whose presence adorns this room lend your most humble attention to Honorable Sir Percival Smythe. He will introduce a great person who has succeeded in obtaining the seemingly impossible of gazing through the dim curtain of the future of the graduation class, the year of our Lord, 1933. Most lovely ladies and honorable gentlemen-Sir Percival Smythef' Ladies and gentlemen-this most distinguished looking person on my right, as the gentleman on my right has just told you, has succeeded in constructing a machine which, at the pushing of a small button, the future will appear on the screen of anyone upon whom you focus the tiny light, which you see at the side of the screen. I shall now introduce Rahaja Ali Bumpo Blub, from part of our great Empire-India. f O Q D f!!!!! ?'???f! QApplausej. I shall now, with your kind permission, press the button which will take us into the future and we will be able to tell exactly what you gentlewomen and men will be doing ten years from this day in June. The Hrst to have the tiny spotlight turned upon him will be Lawrence Abreo-- Well-well-here are Baron Lawrence Abreo and his Baroness Mary Reis just returning from the Riviera to their mansion at Alviso. And here we are in Parliament-and-Prime Minister Bruce Allen is debating against Walter Rohde, leader of the Reds in the House of Commons of the kingdom of Alviso, to determine whether the Alviso realm shall remain on the gold standard. Here comes Lord Chamberlain, Sir William Anklam, to announce the Hard Times Banquet which will take place next week. He has invited many guests of honor including: Lord George Dent and Lady Lora Brown Dent, Marquis Salvador Magliocco and Marchioness Pearl Estralla Magliocco, Earle Charles Harrison and his bride of a week, Countess June Kemp Harrison, Baronet Maurice Beatty and Lady Genevieve Vierra, Duke Herbet Pankratz and Duchess Mildred Passarell Pankratz, and Lord Johnny Silveria and Lady Wilma Ralston. Princess Katherine Bakich Guilbert, wife of the black sheep of the royal family, Prince Howard Guilbert fand we might add that he's the best looking fellow in the kingdom of Alvisoj, has taken up bicycling and whoops-she fell-in quite an undigf niiied position into the garbage can, maybe we better rescue her-Oh no need, here comes the Gallant Knight Donn Waddington-whatta man! Duchess Virginia Pidge Hall Hamilton seems to annoy her better half, Duke Harvey Hamilton, because when they went to dine with Baron Elton Thompson, and Baroness Elso Fetch Thompson, he became drowsy and went into the Baroness' sewing room and went to sleep in her large sewing basket and the dear Duchess didn't know what happened to him. After a complete search he was not found so she went home much embarrassed-but that was only a beginning, for the next morning when the Baroness went to get her sewing, she received a great shock when she opened the basket E171 vp

I am-you see I've been playing around with the Lady in Waiting Catherine Smith-and also Queen Roberta's personal maid, Charlotte Soley, and can you imagine it, they got together and compared notes on me and am I in the dog house! I didn't think they'd ever get together, and so I used the same line on both-and even if it is my line, I've got to admit it sure is a swell one! I think we better leave the prince for now-Good night! Here we are in court again-and another divorcew-this time it's-Well bless my soul, if it isn't Countess Dot McTighe-and she's suing her sixth husband for divorce. And am I surprised! She has named Lady Elizabeth Van Valer, Duchess Margaret Maloney and Baroness Annie Navarro as correspondents. Here we are at the airport-my whatta nice day-ain't nature grand! The birds and the beesies-Ha-my-my-who's this coming over here? Why it's none other than Duke Louis Walker and his bride Duchess Margaret Sherman Walker-I'll get a statement from them-here it am-They are going to enjoy their honeymoon in Lord Walker's new plane, with the motto, See Alviso First . Yoshiye Ogata, Paul Swabe, Chiyeno Tomiyasu, and George Nakano arrived today at the airport, to discuss the situation-fwhat situation?Hany situation-whatta you care-you only pay the taxes!j with our majesty's ministers. Minister of War, Mary Possenti, Minister of Peace Florence Silva and fdo they get along swell-um-um!j Minister of Things in General, Harold Hartzelf And here we are at the yearly Masquerade-and who is that in the spotlight?- why it's none other than the great Don juan of 1943-Henry Hallman, and he's dancing with the lovely Lady Mary Kelly-and here we thought his big moment was Baroness Marjory Koop-here she is in the side lines-men are such fickle critters! Leon Green-well--well of all people, and he's up to his old tricks-singing and this time it's under a lady's window-deah-deah-and here comes the lady out onto the balcony-well knock me down with a feather, if it isn't Dot Noe-Mmy but it's romantic-ha-a-a-a-whatta man! Wait a minute, the scene is being disturbed by some one-it's an officer of the law-and Sir Leon is being taken to the jail house for disturbing the peace-these men of law ain't got no romance. Lady Ramona Cooper Techeira is pining her heart away for her childhood sweet' heart. There she goes wandering through the park, where she wanders each day-She is married to Lord August Techeira, and he is a devoted husband, but her heart still goes back to a guy by the name of Jay-he done left her flat-tsk! tsk! Too bad. And here we are at an auction-somebody went broke, I guess. Let's go see what the score is-and there's Harold Souza, Duke of Catsup-hi Duke old kid, what's going on here? '!Hello-oh I played the horses too much, I guess anyway we're broke and the wife is all broken up about it-I guess she's going to divorce me-I really can't say that I'd blame her-I've been very rotten to lose all our money!
