of them seem to be in the affirmative.

This, of course, makes fortV-eight read
ers Of THE EVENING STAR who will
see that performance of Edmond Days
drama, THE Roundup" a lively. en-
tertaining and spectacular play of
Western life, as guests of THE STAR.
The shorter your answers, which
may b. as many as you like, and the
earlier they are in the hands of tho
Fat Man Editor Of THE EVENING
STAR, the better.
Here's one Of the answers that fits
in well for political Thickness:

Here are a couple Of contrasting
views of a fat mans availability as a
lover:
II love a fat man because it is so
nice when he gives o a hug; his arm
is so nice and soft like a cushion, not
all bones. like a thin man.
1T don't because he takes up too
much room to kiss and hug"
"A fat, man never shows the bad
effects of his wife's cooking" is an
other reason advanced for loving him.
