Da-da."

Girl, as we met her on the street.
"The big show comes off Thursday afternoon, and me! Why, I'll be there
dressed up like a circus. Take it from me, it's a bet you don't want to

laugh of scorn.
"The clubhouse had its official opening last night, and as yet none of
those that were in attendance have appeared upon the scene. I ain't
saying a word, but I bet they had an awful time.
"Them Friars are great people. I been the busy little bee all week

the out-of-town guys are clamoring for gallery seats behind posts. And

about fun, this sixty laughs in sixty minutes stunt looked like a
Methodist watch meeting.
