thrill Of mirth Monday as a result of
practical joke played on Assistant

in an Atlanta real estate office.
With Stanley, who is small of sta
ture. dressed in dainty female garb,
the young men appeared conspicuous
around the passenger station near
midnight. Immediately Marshal Liv-
sey took up the trail with a grim de-
termination to outrival the Atlanta
police in strict law enforcement. He
followed the couple into the HalCyon
Club and made an instant arrest
when he spied the girl" smoking a
cigarette.
The joke was great until the trio
hove in sight of the county jail. Then

all a joke, and Stanley fastened TO
pull off his wig to prove it, But a
copy of charges was served for mas
querading and the end is not yet.
