thing at best, says the Philadelphia
Press. Sometimes, when there's a CLINT
of humor to the billet, it becomes bear

cry evening since Miss Kealty's ap-
pearance in Philadelphia she has re-
ceived a note signed Ardent Admirer,"
and in which the writer after pro-
testing his love, winds up by saying

looked him over calmly and lansuidly,
through his gold bowed spectacles.
