As for this writer Of the golden
heart, he will be accompanied by
Little Rosebud and Miss Eglan-
tine. Few will care TO see him,
but they should take good looks
at Little Rosebud and Miss Eglan-
tine, his fair partners. It win cost
nothing, remember.
Little Rosebud possesses feet
alleged to be even smaller than
those of Daphne Pollard, Dick
Nancy to the contrary notWith-
standing. They will not be on
exhibition, it might be added.
Miss Byzantine, through long
European experience, believes
herself fully qualified to render
an opinion on this weighty matter.
Her official opinion will appear
in this column tomorrow, unless
4 lot of tobacco advertisements
interfere, in which case it will
appear as soon as possible. Dod-
CAST these big tobacco ads, any
way, they ruin the artistic make
up of the sports pages.
Therefore, if you failed to see
your own particular hero--Hank
Shanks, for instance-at the Grif-
fifth Stadium, remember, boys and
girls, you may get a good look
at him tonight at Polls. All the
athletes have been invited to see
the Greenwich Village Follies-
yes, and most of them will be
there, including Earl McNeely, in
his swagger clothes. It's up to
you.
Yes, They're Learning.
