Suppose you came home from the theater late with that coquettish, feminine wife of yours, and you were hungry, and the cook had gone to bed, and you wanted food, would you mind so much If she. the undomes- tic wife, went into the kitchen and hied her hence with some fruit cheese sandwiches?

 Mary Lewis lived IS a lass in Little Rock, Ark. But the rock wasn't big enough so she looked for a boulder elsewhere. She ran off with a travelling musical show and landed in Hollywood, where the di- reCtors of films fell for her like kids scrambling for pennies. Wearing a bathing suit away from the water didn't have a big enough kick in it to last so she went to New York and got into the Greenwich Village Fol lies as a chorine-one of those sprightly gals who hop around while the stars are changing clothes for the next scene.
 Her kicking was high pitched enough, but in addition she had a voice, one which did not sing off key in every other bar; this naturally attracted the attention of the mus- cal director, who yanked her from the chorus to the prima donna role before the show actually opened. It was at that time that she heard grand opera for the first time, at matinee. She immediately owned to private desire to yodcl up there with the Jeritzas,
 Florenz Ziegfeld, who makes a practice of glorilying the American girl in his own peculiar manner, was not blind that year. He booked the qucenly Mary for his own Folies next year, and as the leading singer. This was way back in 1921-how time does fly.

S. Levy, the receiver today secured
an order of Chief Justice McCoy of
the District Supreme Court authoriz-
ing him to make sale of the furniture
and other contents of the hotel. Lew
asked that his bond be increased to
100000, as he has on hand more than
$4,000, and will get a larger amount
from the sale of the goods.
Levy says a number of the guests
of the house have expressed the wish
to purchase at private sale the furni-
ture in their rooms and he asks per-
mission of the court to make such
sales at not less than the appraised
value of the articles. He also wants
to arrange to dispose of the remaining
equipment at public auction. The
furniture was appraised in excess of
$52 900.
The hotel building is advertised for
sale May 25 to satisfy a second deed
of trust, on which is due $126178.11,
and is subject to a first trust of $780,
900 and accrued interest of $25, 900.
The approaching dull Summer season
is assigned by Mr.. Levy as his rea-
son for stopping the conduct of the
business and disposing of the contents
of the building so that he may vacate.

disclosed he received S121 ,637.73 and
