The Chicago whip. (Chicago, Ill.) 1919-19??, 1920-12-11

NJ OSEY WAS strollng by the
N Baby Dolf' Apartments, 37th
and Vincennes Avenue, the other
night when the still night air was
pierced by the shrill and loud voices
OF two dusky queens" in a vio-
lent argument. "You know | mean
more to you than anyone on earth, :
chirped one Amazon to the other. No
sey paused for a moment. At that
same instant in nearby fiat flew up
and a head was poked through the
window and voice cried out, Cut it
out" Nosey recognized the face in
the light of the window and saw ii
was the good" doctor who really
lives way out south near 50th Street.
Just then the distant clang of the pa
troll wagon was heard Nosey thought
that discretion was the better part OF
valor and tucked his camera under his
arm and beat it" for other parts. He
saw the queens" move on the same
warning. Nosey does not know why
flight up" yet, but concluded it was a
late" case.
INN LAST FRIDAY night Nosey
was waiting in the shadows Of
- the buildings at 45th and In
diana for a car, and there shot by him
couple all tangled up. The woman
was hanging desperately on to the
mans hair (real hair, too), and he in
all his six foot vigorous manhood was
trying to break the frail brunette
deathlike grip with blows from his
| fists. Nosey never knew that woman
could stand such punishment before
and when he recognized the stalwart
gentleman he was surprised to see
that it was the same man who at the
city's most popular club stated in the
loudest terms that mo gentleman
would strike lady" Maybe he wasn't
striking the lady, but he gave the best
imitation Nosey ever saw. Some
things make you forget all of your
loud protestations some times, and
Nosey believes that a woman is one OF
those things.
q UNDAY MORNING seems TO be
- good day for the chickens to get
- together, and it looks like the
boosters get in the gang, too. Nosey
was standing blinking on the corner OIL
35th and Grand Blvd. when along
came. one. of the .preftiest little brown
skinned chickens Nosey had ever seen
She went up Grand, looking around &c
see who was on the street at nine in
the morning She hesitatcd near some
other chickens which were cackling
behind their glass windows. The little
brown chicken stopped and then dis
81 -
she had gone Twenty-Five minutes
later the same little chicken" came
out OF store on 35th street. Nosey
had been watching all of the time,
Now he is wondering how that Chick
en-" got from Grand Boulevard into
that store on 35th Street without com
ing out again on Grand Boulevard.
You can't tell anything about these
chickens" anyway.
II VERY NOW and then Nosey
+ sees and hears funny things in
the early morning hours. you
WILL pay me, or else" yelled the
high-pithed voice of one. "Well, thash
all l got, you old robber," crooned
the husky voice of the other in her
Liquid" tones. Nosey could not see,
but when the argument grew TO a high
pitch he poked his long nose around
the corner of the apartment house and
instead OF seeing a daring hold-up
scene, he saw that it was one of the
occupants of that popular Grand Blvd.
Flat returning from a long journey,
and was contesting the large taxi bill
Suitable adjustment was made, be-
cause that taxi driver would never
have left without fight or the money
or some very good promises. Nosey
knows just what he got, and it wasn't
money. Clever kid-what?
you CAN never tell what will
Y come to you if you wait. Nosey
was waiting for friend" near
