the tickets were taken up.
People got into the IgnOramus
Club, yOu see. on their brains, or
at least on their minds, the kind of
minds they have. We do 1t by ques-
tlOn and answer, just by questioning
the people who want to get in and
seeing If they have the right quail
ficatlOns. For example, yesterday
after the Lunch we asked an appll
cant what was his idea Of MussO-
lini; and he said that he was pretty
sure It was an artificial silk made
in italy and used for lingerie!
He got in. That is exactly what

Hollywood Hermits.


IF YOU'VE been to MOvieland,
you've seen our fur-bearing her
mits. As true recluses, these gen.
tlemen have the innate desire to
avoid being conspicuous, which is
ever Characteristic of Hollywood.
So they march the principal streets
all day, with their long hair and
their ditto whiskers waving in the
climate, and wearing as few clothes
as the law allOws-and out here we
allow few indeed.
There Is n single member Of the
group who's different. He's just
as wOOlly as the others, but he
doesn't parade up and down. Nor
will he tell you. his name or the
address Of his cave, or where he
came from or where he's going.
Some think he has a secret past.
But think he has a great ambi-
tiOn.

The Return of Prosperity.
GOOD times are certainly COM
~ ing back-at least to the fur
business. hear prices are so high
that only the wealthier minks can
afford their own skins; the rest of
them will go through the winter
wearing dyed rabbit.
I went to a party and nearly ev-
cry woman there was up to her
ears in ermine or chinchilla or sill
yer fox or some other very exclu-
sive peltry. There was one large
lady who had on at least three
kinds Of expensive wild animals. If
somebody had left the door open.
her wrap would have stolen right
back to the zoo.
It's fine prosperity is returning.
Wouldn't It be grand if, instead of
being visited on a favored few, it
could be passed around?

He couldn't get anywhere with the
