Bell Hops viii Dance
The Los Angeles belboys are going
to give a ball.
In all the glory of the gayest the
tailor and the haberdasher can provide
they are going into the society realm
for a night.
1t will be a grand affair.
Turner hall has been chosen as the
date, and Robert Bradley as the ben

Under the blue coats of the boys who
serve the public in the big hotels, there
are hearts that beat loyal to their
comrades, and there is no stronger bond
of friendship between the people of any

bellboys. When one among them Is

long to put their hands in their pockets
and help him.
Robert Bradley, bellboy known from
one coast to the other, has been sick
for the last two years, and while dis
ease has been ravishing his system it
has also been going through his pocket

fill this up again and send him to a
place where he can receive the care and
nursing which may bring him back to
health and strength.
Young Bradley was at one time bell
boy at the Westminster, but 1t is as
beilboy at the Broadway Van Nuys
that he is best remembered, for there It
was that he made a name for himself
by running the elevator up the burning
building and risking his life that every
guest might be saved.
The bell hops at all the hotels are
gong to join in making the ball a sue

way
