The trio Robert Harrington, James Murtagh and William Steele are broadcasting a recitative, accompanied by Bettie Baier, who is 'ordinarily found in a south side Chicago cabaret pounding the ivories in George Good's orchestra. The dust was removed from one more niche in the hall of fame to allow for the entrance of Charles Akre CHimselfj, who recently kayoed Killer McGuire in the third round of their scheduled 15-round bout at Madison Square Garden.

She recently started to swim the English channel, but she became lost in a fog. She rammed and sank eighteen vessels during the night, and in the morning she found herself off the southern coast of Africa. Her knowledge 'of Uncle Tom 's Cabin was all that saved her. She had to walk on cakes of ice all the way home. She should have practiced walking home while she had the chance. Because she went crazy looking for the lost chord, Alice Behlmer's former classmates presented her with a ball of twine from which she gets great comfort. A Modiste Shoppe on Fifth Avenue is being run by Eugene Hutchins. Pauline Black and Rosa Besch are his best looking models.
