Flapper's Folly Perils
Allowance of Willie

Willie has always been his mothers
pet, and she thinks there is no one like
him this side of heaven or the other.
But for all that Willie is not the salts
fed little darling she believes him to
be. In fact, says the New York Sun
and Globe, outside of his home circle
Willie is by way of being bit of a
stopper, but he has always taken care
to conceal the fact from his parents
as knowledge of his ways would be
sure to result In curtailment Of the
liberal allowance they give him. But
1t looks now as though Willie would
have to seek elsewhere for pocket
money, and it was all due to the fas-
cination he had for certain flapper.
The flapper the other night was on
a party" 1t was gay, gay party,
but Willie was not present. The flap
per pined for his society, and, pining,
what was more natural than she
should go to the phone and invite him
to come along? Unfortunately for him
she didn't get Willie, she got his moth
er instead, who has been furious ever
since, all due to the fact that the flap
per, in her desire to get Willie, had
failed to notice when she phoned that
1t was 2 o'clock in the morning.
