WITH HIS CIGAR
By MIGNoN HALL

I want you more than anything that I can say; But fate has set our feet so very far apart. And hidden every star that might. somehow, Have lighted up mutual, charm ing way. Convention has so bound me--and the life it brings; You're not blase enough for me- not used enough to ''flings;'' And yet forever I am longing for the quaintness of your thoughts your fluttering hands Your grave. sweet lips-and just such little things.

Frank fingered a little longer and
finally gave up. They started
home On the street he became
nasty. He called her all sorts Of
vile names and told her he was all

The row ended with Frank going
