enough of a hit with other women as it
is.
Some of the movies are bling dirtied

Don't fuss if you are getting older.

When anything is over it is finished.
Let us forget the election and be
pals again.

Working for the public, which seldom
knows what it wants, is no picnic.
The unemployment arguments dur
ing the election didn't interest many
of the lads. Wearing out the seats OF
trousers is the easiest thing they do.

be anxious to see how their wings fit.
It isn't too early for a fellow to
think out loud what he wants Santa

John Barrymore is now crazy over

is no hope for him.
