The Family Upstairs gets doleful about
the conduct Of the Lease-Breakers right
away, and on the second or third night
the agent is dragged into the conflict by
the people living in all parts of the apart
ment house. The Lease-Breakers know
how to make a fiat sound like u chunk

with BELLS" literally; and they likewise
are there with fish horns and rattles and
pounding jig steps and raucOus voices at

never give out or even let up until the
purpose is served. Sometimes 1t takes a
week or even ten days of nightly parties

parties are given to move out, but SUCH

The final degree of idiocy is that which
