Ell SUCESO DEL OLA

Hace pocas noche encontrabamos en-
un bar la moda 4 Jane d'Argent, una
espiritual muchacha que tiene tempo
radas de artistas y temporadas de cor
tesana, seg1n caen las pesas. La acom-
panaba un sefior desconocldO, y algirnen
a mi lado murmur6: elsa pobre Jane
debe andar NAL de dinero."
Y, sin embargo, aquella noche Jane
d Argent llevaba una toilette de 5000
frances, un sombrerO de 1,50O, Y sobre
su ecote sc agitaban deslumbradores
dos gruesos briliantes como avellanas
En- que sc fundarian las malas lenguas
para decir que Jane estaba NAL de di-
nero?
La cosa es muy sencilla... Estas sim
paticas madamas eligen siempre con
tacto exquisite las personals con las cua
les Sc presentan en- p1blico, buscando
preferentemente el hombre chic, aun-
que no. tenga dinero, pero que da pos
tin y s'tronio'' Jane d. Argent lleva

c1rculos cortesanos solo Sc ha hablado
de ella, y cuando entraba hace POGO en-
un teatro Ell un restaurant, el p1blico
la miraba sonriendo, como 81 quisiera

va hemos leido ESQ esta mailana.
Esta bien, que sea enhorabuena.
Lo malo es que la 'reclame" no ha

iPobre Jane! Ell hombre chic sigue

En- la Ultima hora de la madrugada

media docena de teatros, eXhibiendose

rants de noche, porque, como es natu-
raj, quer1a aprovechar la "reclame"

Y se arrojaban sobre la imfeliz, que, car

Jearon para arrancarle ell bolsillo de

A la pobrecita Jane hubo que trasla-
