That fine, noble looking man with the
name.
Distinguished Man-Oh, that's Van
Trotter, the musician. He's really the
star attraction here tonight-the top
liner.
Prettiest Girl-The top
Distinguished Man-The main guyl
Prettiest Girl suppose that's a
musical term-something about flats
and sharps-yes?
Distinguished Man (absent-minded-
ly)-Oh, plenty of sharps-and a few
crooks-only few, though. There's
Slippery Jim-hes posing as a
theosophist nowadays.
Prettiest Girl (puzzled) -You see
how stupid we society girls are. We
can't even understand the simplest
literary conversation. I suppose you
mean that Mr. Van Trotter is famous?
Distinguished Man-Yes; he gets
hundred and fifty for three turns,
while that chap by the piano-do you
see the little fellow in the purple tie?
he's dead bargain.
Prettiest Girl-Oh, yes. What a
dreamy face he has, Is he a musician,
too?
Distinguished Man-No. He eats
glass especially, because glasses are
easier to get at salon.
Prettiest Girl (horrified) Eats glass?
Distinguished Man-Yes, at suppers,
just as the dessert comes on. Gettem-
Gettem's that man with the whlskers
Il can't just place him, but l know
I've seen him before somewhere
Gettem-has Chewitt-that's the glass
eater-carefully coached. He passes
him a glass, and Chewitt just bites out
chunk as thought 1t were a biscuit.
1t never fails to make hit.
Prettiest Girl-Why, how perfectly
| lovely!
Distinguished Man-Yes: this salon
business will make Chewitt's fortune
| He used TO be a sword-swallower with
circus. Then he began going to smok-
ers, but they used to make him eat the
chandeliers and the empty bottles, and
it was running his digestion. Then the
salon started, and now-why, you
couldn't get Chewitt to go to a smoker.
He says the salon is much more re-
fined and less trying He only eats
a champagne glass. Sometimes he
leaves the stem, even He's getting
naughty.
Prettiest Girl-That pale girl In
Wholesome one said she is going to
recite.
Distinguished Man-rhat's Miss Gas
logge. the poetess She comes only on
condition that she's allowed to recite
her own poems al the evening.
Prettlest Girl-How nice it must be
to just sit down and write things!
What an agreeable head waiter that is
handing round the sandwiches
Distinguished Man-That isn't a
head waiter. That's Gotrox.
Prettiest Girl-Qooking at him
through her lorgnette) -Really?
Distinguished Mantle don't APP
prove of this society salon business,
you know. He offered his wife a
steam yacht if she'd give up the idea.
But she was dead set on it when she
| heard that Mrs. Hybrid was going to
have one. That settled it. She Sc
cured Gettem, and he got all the stars.
Now, there's Bogtrotter, the Irish story
writer
Prettiest Girl with lorgnette)-Beg
pardon-what do you call him?
Distinguished Mana Harp.
Prettiest Critically? How oddly
he talks! It's so brilliant! And that
| handsome chap by the door? He looks |
Nike football man. but suppose he's |
poet or something?
Distinguished Man-No; he's a |
bouncer
Prettiest Girl-A bouncer? Ha, ha,
ha, suppose you mean one of those
india-rubber men?
Distinguished Man-Oh. you can't
have a society salon without a bouncer.
Why, there's Charley Chopstlck. from
Chinatown. You never quite know
what Charley might do, If you start a
salon, let me get you good bouncer.
