Honestly speaking, what is your

ness with the matrimonial gang" His
company.was unfortunate-they expired
early and while they have no money in

set of books and am satisfied yon will
find them all right.
R-'Do you regret going into the mat
rimonial business as an officer or gambler

here a long time, can't you set 'em up :?
Ii you see anybody who wishes to get out
any applications, send them down."
After long pause in our search after
