Met your old friend Cupid" yes
terday on a tour of Fourth Ave.
and is he one disguised creature.
He says he might as we'll go on a
vacation, for this weather has got
him down and is running his bust
ness. He only saw one victim
(E. R. and even this usual prom
Using pupil of his gave him a glum
look and hurried on. Nobody's
fancy can possibly turn to thoughts
of love, for April didn't do her
part. So Cupid" says he has laid
aside his bow and arrow until the
smiling sun thaws out the chill
of our beautiful May.
The Alpha Matrons entertained
their guests with a formal dinner
and dancing party, at Stumble Inn
last Saturday night. Your gal Sal

evening was had by all. Congrats:

unless it fits" And still they think
all Cinnamon are laundrymen.
