Modern Girls Heart.

The modern girls heart is an apart
ment house. A number of young men
occupy corners In it. The greater the
demand for space, the higher rent she
charges. Sometimes the accommodate
tions and living conditions become UNI
speakable. And then comes the in
evitable building boom. A new apart
ment house goes up across the way.
All but one-or maybe two of the
renters move out. One or both may
then retain possession until rent has
piled up past all hopes of collection
in fun. when marriage ensues.-Kan-

gress by tapping its wings, as most
birds do, but seems to soar at will,
rarely, if ever, giving a stroke of the

lated island, such as one of the Crozet
