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! DIVORCE YOU! WHY YOU KNOW THAT I'D NEVER DESERT YOU AT A TIME LIKE THISQ! Brave little lady-why bless my soul if it isn't little Eloise Ellis! Well we're in an awful hurry so we'll be seeing you-Good luck!And away we go-oo-ooo-oooo -shuffle off to the beach-and here we are at the beach, and whose this? None f19l

-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

Now for a breath of good old fresh air, out close to nature.-Well will you look what's coming down the road-one of those bicycles built for two-What a funny sight -Ha-ha-and-oh my goodness, I can hardly talk for laughing-imagine whose on it --none other than Lord Ray Erkson, and Princess Aletha Clark-whatta sight! Let's go back to the city now and go to one of those swanky night clubs-and here we are-I want to get on the good side of the boss here-just a minute, and I'l1 be back -here we are, and here are more old friends-Ambrose Alves, Earl of Fish Canneries District, and his able helpmate, Lady Annie Arnauda Alves.- If we look around here, we'll probably see some more old friends-and we can stop looking, because here are Lord Lawrence Quetano, and Lady Roberta Winter-- and Larry's brother Lord Morris Quetano and Lady Margaret Maloney.-I think we're going to have some entertainment now-the first on the program is-well another old friend-is here as a torch singer, Josephine Dodson, listen to her- Take me away- my life only belongs to you-show me what love can do-take me away! -Bravo Josephine-! More entertainment-and if it isn't a dance team with Catherine Woods-and Vincent Rizzolo-they're pretty good too-didn't think it of Woods- and here comes the chorus and it sure is plenty good-um-um-and what a leader they have-can she dance?-boy oh boy!-she knows what those feet were made for -whatta dance that was-and do I rate she's coming over here-I'll be seeing you folks -well I came right back folks 'cause she was just another old friend who recognized me-and we used to fight when we knew each other, long ago-none other than Verda Mace. I saw a few other old friends while I was walking around-Rex MacDonald and Lady Wanda Grizzle, who are so sweet on each other!!! and who are enjoying them' selves dining and dancing. And here comes Lord William Roberts-the man about town-and does he rate the beautiful women!!! Lovely Lady Gerry Lundsford Roberts is at his side. She became his bride this afternoon.-Well, folks, I guess we've seen about all we can-I have a grand surprise awaiting you, and then we must part- Let's go-And here we are at the Royal castle-now we'll dash in and visit King William and Queen Roberta-Oh-Oh-they have guests. Well if it isn't Baroness Catherine Smith Castro, and Baron Richard Castro, visiting the royal family-how's everyone?-Imagine being friends all these years, and such good ones too. We just thought we'd drop in and say hello, before we had to go back to reality-and now we must go back to everyday life, and in ten years we'll all be together again here in the Kingdom of Alviso- Hear Ye! Hear Ye! We wish for all ye honorable seniors, all the luck and success in the world, throughout the coming years. THE HOUSE or THE TOCSIN STAFF. IZOI
