THE soft breeze from Central Park
waited our straw. colored whiskers as IL

rang out gloriousIy calling us to church,
+ we arose and looked through the key
i hole. u IN IN \. /.
s3S There, With a sword beside him on the
table, sat. Dave Kline, eating ham anu
eggs with a knife.
S$ on the wall behind him hung the porS
trait Of a beautiful woman. we looked
y closer, and observed that Howard Hall
was also handing around. ,$...
AS we strained our eye to SEQ what
we could hear, we saw sounds OF music
,sIt floated softly through the keyhole
ana over the sranson, like a cent down
agn1an's back and we observed q Fellow
4 at a window across the street With
II gun in his hands.
aa.,r was the fellow with the dough.

I'VE braced Up not against the wall,
for we were unarmed. but, We Grew. Z. z

have suffered the penalty Of coming 70
New York without 1et*lng us aunoWss
beforehand, with one prov!so.
= And that is - 81 81 hi 5s
THAT Is, that you 60 with us at once
10 the Grcenroom Club for dinner Y.
We were sick. tired and jaded, for

Unable ito tell our head from q case Of

Dickerson or w. Howard God be rush
Perhaps Eugene Blottner IS bringing
us some Pabst,n we thought, or maybe

Cslivernator, or maybe Henry Lerchl has
\ Got back into the game. or maybe It's

That shepherds also have their crooks.
AS the sun came SLOWLY UP a MAMMA tan
4 Avenue, our mind reverted to la co cktall,
Il SO we proceed ed u to look for an umbrella,
but there was Il none in " the house. and
We started down to the Greenroom Club
III Forty-seventh Street, in the rain.
M AS we entered the door strange sensa a.
