@ . The Manicure Lady . o
RoTHER wILFRED and me Iget
By William F. Kirk

klD ROTHER WILFRED and me
Is and Sister Mayme was to a
swell party the other night"
said the Manicure Lady. 1T was gave
by artist that has just opened a new
studio, the same as the studio that l
was telling you about a few weeks
ago. We had grand time"
4 think you are wrong in going to
studio parties" said the Head Barber.
II have told you that before, and you
know when I tell you anything / mean
It,"
II can take care of myself without
any one-headed barber telling me
where to get Off" said the Manicure
Lady, frigidly. This artist was a per-
feet gent. The only thing l didn't like
about the party was one of his lady
guests. | think she must be one Of
them ladies that is all the time look
ing for adventures. think they call
them adventuresses, or some name like
that. She hadn't no more than seen
Wilfred when she started making eyes
at him. because she had heard the poor
kid telling that he was a poet, and l
guess she thought that poets makes a
lot of dough. Goodness knows they
don't, George. but as long as she
thought so | suppose that amt neither
here or there, but to get on with my
story.
The mintue Wilfred noticed that
this blond beauty was shining up to
him he swelled up like one of them
poisoned puppies that you read about
in the story books | guess in the
next hour after he made the flash he
must have recited about seventy of his
worst young poems Don't you see.
George? He was trying to make a hit
with her and con her into giving him
little dough, but he was waiting for
good chance to approach her, and all
