When a girls father hands out
an ultimatum that his daughter
must be- supported in the style to
which she Is accustomed, he
means that he wants a son,in.law
who win support the family and
give him a chance to loaf.
The kind-hearted gent who says
he bought a radio set for the

right after supper and uses it
himself.
When q flapper tells you she

the hope that her millionaire
friend will call up and suggest a
