of cabaret that was all but ruined by
the late Jake Maudlin. Liberty's caba-

lady named Lucille. Lucille sang When
Lucille sang. folks listened. They couldn't
help It. They didn't have to be in Lib
erty's cabaret, either Lucille was Lib
erty's star. Her picture stood out on
the pavements and her name shone in
the lights above the door
Mr.. Maudlin's star was Little Olga,
the child violinist. Liberty used to plant
stool pigeon in Jake Maudlins cabaret
and whenever Little Olga started playing
her violin Liberty would be inform,I and
he'd announce Lucille, straight from
the New York opera" OF course that
ruined Little Olga's work. Lucille had

Lucille could compel Sousa and his en-

upon the customers. Y
Mr.. and Mrs. Maudlin paid their fine
just as soon as Jake was able to be
about. They closed their cafe and re-
turned to New York, where Jake died
Of broken heart. possibly.
But, as your correspondent observed
at the outset, this is Sunday morning
Therefore 'he shall speak no longer OF

While Mr.. vessella plays elegant music
they sit around reading the better class
