"I wish you would put an item in the
News about something l saw to-day"
said n man to me yesterday. Two
policemen had arrested woman and were
taking her from Richmond at the corner
of Broad to the nearest call box. L don Z
know what she'd done. She wasn't
drunk or at least not drunk enough to
hide the sense of shame, for she held up
her apron to shield her face as she
stumbled along. But she had no hat nor
the day. Don't you think they might
have waited till she had put something
on!"

intervenes, Dr. Graves is likely to yield up
his life within month, is rs romantically

dropped from sets of bars let into the solid
rock on either side and meeting at an

but three nights when I've had over five
hours of sleep. Often I've had four or less

to me than money. Ii IL Keeps up shall

It's A wonder business men don't more
often appreciate the value of the backs
and sides of big buildings for advertising
purposes. There sre many fine buildings
on Weybossct and Westminster streets,
towering above their neighbOrs, whose
blank side and rear walls make sign
painter feel nervous when he looks at
them.
"All the New York papers," said a
woman this morning, published pictures
of Patti yesterday, and not one of the per
traits was bit like her. Why the Press
