As the latter, Nikoli by name, sang, he sipped pensively from a stein and plucked absently on the tuft of knotty seaweed that served him as a beard. Vladimir was growing terribly weary .... Near him, on the wall, hung a great club, with which his venerable ancestor lvan lvanovitch had hunted Nihilists. His long fingers closed idly and caressingly over it.

C. ff Friendly Letter 829 96th St., Woodhaven, N.Y. October Io, 1922. Dear John, I just had to write to you to let you know that I am in love. I met her yester- day. I went home and told mother, but she simply won't listen to meg and dad- why, he just grunts behind his paper and says something about a jammed nuisance. Oh, I wish that you would at least un- derstand. I love her to distraction. I can't exist without her! Her eyes-soulful brown ones-haunt me in my dreams. I think day and night of that soft wavy hair that plays about her temples. Oh, she's wonderfull so beautiful, so gentle,-so everything. I could die of joy when she turns those limpid orbs upon me, and I wonder if in her heart she whispers 'II love you too, dear. My own heart throbs madly as she turns her beautiful head in my direction, wags her little tail, and then snuggles up to her three little sisters in the pet-store window. I know that you would feel as I. That is why I wrote to you. Yours ever, AL. The school phonograph had just finished a selection by two famous opera singers, and the teacher said: Now, children, who can tell me the names of the singers We have just heard ? 'lCaruso, replied one boy. Yes. And who was singing with Ca- ruso ? His man Friday! was the disconcert- ing answer. J. Mise, No. 90. 5 Us ,aye -rm 7W1Z1':J xi .
