Where will he go to college?
Up to Santa Clara University,
also the alma mater of Edmund

guages, because he intends to con.
tinue with his acting career.

to me. So long"
AS he dinel that evening the
magnate was fairly happy. The
affair had ended il very sat-
isfactory manner and his wife
would be none the wiser. None
except a very few of his most
intimate friends knew about his
friendship for the beautiful
star, and they could be counted
upon to say nothing. He smiled
to himself. It tickled him to
realize that he had been so
damnably clever.
Suddenly the smile faded. 1t
dawned on him that there
might be one person who could
do some talking If he wished
to. That phone operator at the
hotel! He knew all about the
situation. The magnate had
given his right name to him.
Why, the operator even knew
the sound of his voice by this
time.
The more he thought about
it, the more the man worried.
Suppose that operator had
listened in on one of those
hectic conversations? It wasn't
really possible-but suppose he
had?
The thing finally preyed on
his mind to such an extent that
the magnate decided to do
something about the situation.
Around l o'clock the following
morning he marched up to the
desk of the hotel in question
and asked for the man who
ran the switchboard.
I'm him." replied the clerk.
I'm the night clerk and I also
handle the board. Something
special you wanted?"
Tips the Clerk
The picture man reached into
his pocket, drew out a $50 bill
and pressed it into the palm of
the other man.
I'm j B." he
asserted, land I just dropped
in to thank you for the service
you rendered me during the
time I called Miss s.. You
were very kind"
The operator-clerk pocketed
the money and murmured some
fervent thanks.
I'm certainly glad to know
you, Mr.. B" he chirped.
You're real sport. Thanks
very, very much"
The magnate wet his lips. He
was going to find out the truth
right here and now. He
couldn't ask the man point
blank whether he had been lis
tening in. So he did it in a kid
ding manner.
Il won't be calling Miss s.
anymore" he smiled. And I'll
bet you're going to miss hearing
those long conversations 1 used
to have with her over the
phone"
The clerk leaned forward and
placed hand on the picture
mans arm.
Listen, Mr.. B." he said
reassuringly, IT know what
you're driving at, but I'm tell
ing you right now that yon
amt got a thing to worry about.
Whatever you said on the phone
to that dame will always remain
strictly between the three of
us!"

High Toned Stuff

The praise agent for Seaside
Park, Chesapeake Beach, was
checking up on his mid-week
publicity. Calm he was and
thoroughly assured until he ran
across these lines in an evening
contemporary:
Those in search of the dolce
far niente of the seashore are
promised a surcease from their
anxiety at the new Seaside Park
at Chesapeake Beach, ETC."
Hastily he searched for the
nearest diversified dictionary until
he found the proper page. It
was o. K. In case you're in
terested, "dolce farniente" means
Sweet doing nothings- delight
full idleness." In Italian, of
course.
But Ernie johnson, of Glen
Echo Park, will never be happy
until he gets a similar literary
treatment.
