A few sleepy servants were in at

While the Bird BaIly-
hOos About the Beau
ty Of Some Other
FriII
BY Fay King

Ky HE other day q young lazy
turned her sweetheart oyer
to the police when she
found out that he had stolen the
Christmas presents he gave her,
1t happens that what he stole
and gave her for Christmas was
a lot OF baby clothes. for which
she had no use. I can't help
wondering whether she would
have been so ready to hand him
over to the police IL he had stolen
q mink coat or q diamond bar
pin.
Anyhow. / guess there are
times when g. lot Of other girls
feel like turning a guy over to
the police, but the reason wouldn,t
be called crime.
Take, for instance, the guy
that knows a girl likes him better
than any other boy friend she's
got and how fiendishIy he seems
to delight in spelling her Satur-
days or Sundays. He knows
she'll sit around and wait for that
telephone call All day and that
nobody else has q chance 70
break the date she thinks she's
got.
He's almost as bad as the bird
that makes it a point to date a
girl for dinner and too late for
show. Eats a good dinner at his
married brothers house and then
stalls around until $50 so he'll
only have to spend the evening!
Then there's the bird that does
buy you d dinner and does take
you to q show but You wonder IL
it's worth IL! All evening YOU are
supposed to register glee while he
balIyhoos about the beauty Of
some other friIl!
These are all Grimes that I'd
hate to see come up to jury OF
women who know them only too
well.
In each OF these cases the dame
feels like marching the hoyfriend
right over to the police and see
ing him locked up for about six
months.
Hanging would be too good Tor
the guy that gives his girl jeWelry
for Christmas and then picks -
quarrel with her before the sec
ond payment is due so he can
get a refund!

The theory suggested by Thank

is untrue. Experience proves, how
