And he says" PAMELA dimpled de-
liciously, and turned rosy, that my
teeth are whittier than the ivory OF
India, and that my lips rival the red

And when he speaks of love- re-
sumed PAMELA, not even smiling at
my remark, "he speaks in the lang
uage of the poet"
His sayings are original" informed
Pamela airily.
"I'll bet he calls it lofe' and dill

surrounded by Gordon Of admirers,
and surrounded by few pretty girls

that PAMELA did not want. Being

the butler pompously announced the
prince. Afterwards he mentioned the
Lathams apologetically.
The prince spotted PAMELA and

instead he puffed himself out like a

Jim turned on him again. Il said
good evening, Tony" he repeated
pointedly and there was a hard CLEAN

looked nightly pleased.
