LOWBROWS' DEPARTMENT Sub-Deb fThe Gloriousl McGillicuddy Presents His UWOCKLE DEN Featuring a TRUE TRUDY TECTIVE MlZZTREE From the sums ORIENTALEH NOT QUITE A LADY, BUT OH, WHAT A WOMAN! ECTOR WUZZAPUP, the famous demagnetized detective, was baff fled. The MiZztree Hex , as that Eendish vandalette was called, who insisted on removing those beautiful mustaches which are to be found gracing feminine features on any conspicuous billboard, had once more been seen on the streets of New Cheeseburgh, with eraser poised in hand, and a devastating look in her eyes. Hector, as we have said before, was baffled. Having guzzled an over' size jelly doughnut, he reached under his overfstuffed chair and pulled forth his only clue. fHecky f f f of course you know that we're referring to Hector f f f we meant to tell you, had been engaged by the mayor of Cheeseburgh to capture the Mizztree Hex .j It was an ornate old rose boudoir cap, with thc mysterious initials, Sally Patica, the Mizztree Hex , worked across the top in 22M karat silver letters. Hecky, with his marvelous powers of deduc' tion, had surmised that this cap must belong to the famous Mizztree Hex , and with extraordinary cunning he inserted this ad fpardon the slangj in the New Cheesbuvgh Herald: If Miss for Mrsj Sally Patica will call at the offices of Hector Wuzzapup, the world's only demagnetized detective, she for hej will receive a great surprise. He then retired to his study where he patiently waited behind shuttered windows for three months, playing his piano accordion lustily for want of other exercise. Then, on the ninetyffirst day of his wearisome vigil, he was rewarded by a sharp peal from his dis- connected doorbell. He went swiftly to the door and yanked it open. There on the threshold stood a huge dog leering at him through luxuriant eyelashes. Welcome to my humble domicile, Sally , hissed our hero as he clapped handcuffs on the canine's paws. fC0'ntinued on page 25,

After an especially tiring luncheon, one day, she realized that Hugh wasn't paying so much attention to her. The thought left her bewildered, but she was aroused. Hugh, she called.

24 Cege Bennett Beacon COLUMN O' LOVE By MME KATIE McGILLICUDDY DEAR KATE, I-Iow's your liver? f f f I'll bet that startled you, didn't it? Imagine my embarassment when I opened a circular and found this vile phrase staring me in the face. I think that something ought to be done to exclude this type of obscene literature from the mails, don't you? I'm certain that unless it is suppressed, the younger generation will suffer. GAZZHOO. ANS. I'm inclined to heartily agree with you. A girl can't be too careful nowadays, can she? Come up to tea sometime, and we'll let down our hair and have a good, old fashioned cry. WINSOME KATE. FAIREST OF THE FAIR, I am over eighty years old, yet I am but a wee bit of a girl at heart. Please answer these questions for me: 1. Is there an Easter Bunny? 2. What is a cigarette? 3. Where is New York City? 4. Do you like Hot Cross Buns? Please answer yes or no. SOPHRONY. ANS. I have complied with your request as follows: 1. Yes or no, Z. No, 3. Yes. 4, As this question does not seem to be entirely wholesome, I will not answer it. THE MADAME. v KGMPASSIONATE KATIE, My marriage is a complete failure! Last night, when I was shampooing my pet poodle, Angela Mia , my husband suddenly flew into a rage and said that I must choose between him and Angela Mia . I love them both. What shall I do? HAPPY FEET. ANS. By all means choose the poodle! What a cute name it has! I have a pet dog, too, and I can realize the pleasure you must derive from yours. What good's a husband, anyway? MADAME CS. P. C. AJ KATIE.
