gent readers. you have never
plumbed the depths OF despair
you have never had that hanging
in-mid.air sensation provoked by
anxiety-nor do you know that q
pleasant relief is achieved by
final accomplishment.
Ye Ed. can almost hear your
answer. We'll that Is pretty

Well. subscribers and friends,
for the last few weeks we have
been getting group OF repre-
sentative citizens into trim for
show at the Ladies' Night Of
the Cosmopolitan Club. II came
off last night.
We never had the whole COM
pany together for rehearsal at
one time, butt they all showed
up last night. True. the heroine
Of our little drama--one Eugene
ParavanO,, q superlative barber
was late, having misplaced his
wig, and half OF the properties
We're hither and yon over our
city.
But we put it over. The com
pany was satisfied, II nobody
elsa was. But we all swore that
we'd rather drink dubious cider
than go through the agony again.
Yesterday afternoon, after an
invitation and phone cali Ye Ed.
was conducted through the new
studio Of Harris and Ewing,
which is certainly sight for the
gods, much less for demi-gods
like us.
We admit we still feel some
how cheated, because some OF
the prettiest girls in Washington
were taking other parties through
the beautiful rooms, while X.
Cowing insisted on conducting
our tour.

over the basement and che re-
touching room. with good reason.
But we maintain that we still feel
a little aggrieved.
Cody Marsh, who Is helping
considerably with the Red Cross

II arranged q quantity Of lay

nothing else would.

received a hearty response and

Misses Smith and Suffer, the
pleasant young folks who con
duct the information office at the
prohibition unit, are steeIing
themselves to pay an election bet.
Assistant Prohibition Commits
sioner Jimmy Jones, and genial
Colonel Levi Mutt, the head az
the narcotics division, are the
proud collectors.
The ladies', we understand. were
invelgied into betting against Mr..
Coolidge. although both were
strong for him. The prize was TO
be dinner. It still is, for that
matter.
It is understood that the win.
ners are becoming noisy in their
demands that the bet he paid, so
Misses smith and Suffer are
securing the town for a good
place to hold the dinner. Will
all restaurants kindly assist
