He had small Hands and small
Feet and was semi-dimpled. The
hair glistened like Patent Leather
and the Shirt harmonized with the

very oo-la-la.
The moment Edythe spotted this
dainty little Prize Package she be-

She wanted to hold him on her
Lap and hear him Chirp.
There was Nothing to It
He was only a poor Bond Sales

her Eyes while talking to her about
her Clothes and her Eyes and her
Complexion, and that made him
just as strong with her as If he
