STYLE. "Cheems,' says she to me, as
tipped wink to a fren on a box
and smiled at a loidy's maid, out of
de corner Of me mOut dat was on de
off side from Duchess, "Cheems, she
saws. as she passed a glad eye to a
French shutter, what was on de Snuff
of a bubble dat was putting by,
"Cheems," says she, fetching a dead
swell bow to me fren de bar-keep,
what was out for an airing with his
steady, "Cheems," says Duchess, "if
dere was a little more smell of napta
here dis would be near as good as
Paris"
ION your way. woman!" I says.

was in a race. Look at de goils!" I
says DE coils alore can win out for
dis country over any form neck of
woods dat lies out of DOORS"
Duchess only gives me de shoulder
raise like she was saying dat form
COILS was good enough for me. seeing
as how l married one. So 1 says, You
was a pretty good American when /
married you, and no gaity goes wit
dat gas
Duchess says, "Of a soitainty; I was
pretty and I was good and den she
looked a thousand miles over me head,
de way she does VIXEN she thinks size
has sawed off a horse on me.
De trouble wit French COILS is, dat
dey has de long-distance glad eye.
Honest, when a French goil in Paris
gives you de jolly pepper she has a
look dat is furder off dan Sandy Hook
and anything furder off is too far
from de Bowery. When l was co Paris
some of de COILS Duchess give me
knock down to passed me out a glad
eye-so Duchess says Wnen she made
a rough house about it-but / taut dey
was tagging a mug in de next county,
and l never got wise in time t. retoin
de compliment.
But dat isn't what I was going to
tell you about: AS me and Duchess
waltzed up de Avenoo I says to her
dat dere is no use trying to beat dis
little old Island as long as it was on
top of de cart. Duchess said dat de
trouble was dat New York wouldn't
long be on top of de cart, wit all de
tunnels getting ready to bury de peo-
pie underground.
Hot air for farmers!" I says. mo
fear" l says. Deere never won't be
no tunnels ready, except de loops, and
when dey is ready nobody won't ride
in EN-"
Listen, I'll put you wise on tunnels:
/ rode in one in London. Dey is to de
bad! De air in de tunnels is like when
you light a cigarette, and only de sui
phur is boining on de match. OATS
right. It'll do for Londoners what
never has no good air down DER
threats, but New Workers won't stand
for it. Dey'd RAIDER stand up. Any
way, what's de use getting under
ground til you has a long call? Tun-
nels is all right to get to Lonelyville
in time to NOW de grass before de sun
goes down, but for folks what isn't
farmers-nit!
If you listen to some folks dere isn't
many New Yorkers left, and dey is
chasing deirselves under de mo chill
dren' rule.
I wonder dat President Teddy didn't
knock New York flats when he was
swinging his hammer about dere not
being enough gold-spoon kiddies grow
ing up to make Republican voters in
de sweet Summer time OATS to come?
It isn't because a mug has been to
school to Harvard dat he doesn't raise
Riddles; it's because de flats has put
de dead line on kids.
Tight airy dog kennels on de roof,
wit all de comforts of home for poodles.

OATS what's putting de cradle makers
out of business. / taut it was because
de kiddies distoibed de janitors' after
noon maps. but Duchess tips me
straight OATS it's because Riddles pulls
de ears of poodles, dat de Riddles is
Kept in Heaven, instead of in Harlem

To be sure Whiskers was saying,
dere is few New Workers left, but
what bodders me to make out is what
New Workers do"
Mostly dey does de rest of de coun-
try, says Mr.. Paul.
Not even dat" Whiskers says, eff
understand you. For instance, de
