Yawn Patrol The other am. a
few of us were swapping yarns be-
tween drinks when someone came up
with the one about the ageing fioogie
who walked into one of the clubs
tightly clutching her youthful Romeo's
arm. The combination of rouge and
too many highballs had given her
cheeks a high flush which caused
someone to remark: "Isn't it marvel
Gus how she retains her YOUTH. g.
To which heckler cracked, at really
it. She never lets him out of her
sight" -, That noise you hear Mon
day night originated from the Ritz
Plaza where the Women's Service
Club had turned on the heat. Both
halls were rocking and the hilarity
was something to write home about.
Such crowd was on hand that a list
of the guests would fill book, but
few folks we caught sight of included
our old pal Frank Burton who is in
town for few weeks with his swell
wife Frances. . Charlie Perrinchief
was also on hand with his bride of a
few months, who is quite a pretty
lady. . Then there was our favorite
shaker-upper, Freddie Wheelock and
genial Joe Clarke, not to forget Mil
ton and Ruby Agnew; Joe and Portia
Craddock, the Johnny Walkers: the
Joe Ryles Srs.; DR.. F. Irving Gray;
the Baron Larry Lees; Madeline Ber-
nard, Edith Paris, the Frank Fos-
ters; Dot and Cloyd Harrison, Percy
Richardson and pretty lady whose
name | forget; Joe Ryles and Mile
Collins; the Leon Braithwaites; pretty
Frances Freeman and her pal Dot
Subway; Johnny Pritchard, Vic Young,
Emmie Johnson, Jay Powell, KAY
Bowles, the "Sonny" Carriers, Kenneth
Smith and new flame; Commander
Ransome and the missus, and so on.
The floor show was in the groove and
especially enjoyable to some of us was
the rendition of the risgay tune en-
titled "f va can't get a fin take a
deuce" by voluptuous floogie dressed
in red. The crowd clapped so loud
and long that she came back and sang
that one about the "chair" she'd pre-
fer to keep rather than see it go for
nothing. Herbie Jackson was as usual
the dapper emcee and did a nice job
of it. =. Here n There In case
you've FORGOTTEN, Gabriel" will be in
town on Nav and he'll be holding
