HEARD AROUND
THE CORRIDORS
BY THE EAvEsDRoPPER
NO PEACE AND QUIET FOR
MIR. AND MRS. NEWLYWE

A pretty young Oakland girl became
the bride of prominent but bashful
young Oakland man and together they
came to Los Angeles, honeymoonlng.
That's how the story begins, my
dears; that's how it all begins.
They came to Los Angeles because
they wanted to be quiet in a place
where no one knew them. They ar
rived at the Angelus yesterday, happy
in the thought that they were safe
from over-friendly eyes and confident
that they did not look a bit like Mr.,
and Mrs. Newlywed.
With these two consoling thoughts in
their minds they entered tn dining
room last night They got .ust as far
as the door and then the orchestra
began the wedding march from "Lo-
hengrin." Here comes the bride" was
the bar that flashed into the mind of
each guest in the dining room, and in
stinctively everyone glanced toward
the door. The bride blushed and the
bridegroom-well, perhaps it could be
called blush, ant no other explana-
tion was necessary. Mr.. and Mrs.
Newlywed were formally introduced.
There was nothing to do but follow
the head waiter to the table in the
farthest corner of the room and they
followed; but on the way the bride
discovered the reason for it all in the
person of a young Oakland bachelor
who also chances to be in Los Angeles.
The bachelor had noticed the names on
the register earlier in the day and he
was prepared for them. The orchestra
was pressed into service and a florist
did the rest.
Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Balm were
the telltale names on the register and
Mrs. Balm was formerly Miss Florence
Hay, one of the popular daughters Of
Oakland. Mr.. Balm is the son of tea
importer and one of the best authori-
ties on tea in America.
Brings His Roll with Him
The Alexandria hotel has a real "live
one" who has evolved a system of tip
ping, which, from the standpoint of the
bell boys, puts Scotty and all others Of
his kind in the most remote corner Of
the "also ran" class.
He, the live one or his system, Is
making the face of the bell boy to wear
smile of unalloyed joy, and the legs
of the bell boy to become nlmble all
most beyond comprehension.
His name Is George S. Davis and he
and his bank roll hail from Buffalo,
N. Y.
The system as far as the bell hops
have been able to understand 1t is
something like this:
For bringing a card to his room 81.
For opening or closing a door through
which the live one Is to pass 81. For
pitcher of ice water 81. For any mes
sage that requires two trips 81. For
taking a pair of trousers to be pressed
So. For going a block for theater tick
cts $40, and for all other services in
proportion.
Live one, we'll l guess yes" is the
way the bell boy classes him and they
are all straining their ears to catch the
sound of his bell that no want may go
unattended. .t
