The Forum
Matters of Moment Are Discussed

Quite crowd were discussing the
dead beats yesterday and lady who
keeps one of the SWEETEST boarding
houses in the city said that accord
ing to her idea the meanest dead beat
was the man who would board with
widowed lady and then fail to pay
before he left for parts unknown.
She was very nearly right, but that
individual is not half as mean and
low as the one who will do that and
then borrow money from the widow
with which to jump town.

One lady wanted to know why it
was that people did not object to
climbing up in the gallery to see a
cheap show but did not like to climb
a short fight of stairs to see the
SWEETEST millinery creations known
to the art.
Then came friend of the tele
phone girl who wanted to know why
it was that some people thought that
the hello girl should be walking
compendium of information and were
calling upon her at all times for in
formation which she could not give
and in the event she knew nothing
