NOW 1T CAN BE TOLD: Lena
Horne proved herself real trouper
several weeks ago when a squeeze
play was put on her by Ziggie john
son at Club Zombie. 1t was like
this: Ziggy introduced Miss Horne,
who graciously took her bow Of
public recognition. Then against her
will (also a clause in her contract
she was led by someone up TO the
floorboards where Ziggy proceeded
to coax her into singing. Realizing
that il was against her contract

Miss Horne attempted TO apologize
However (the squeeze play was
SO fasO she finally came through
with the singing Of Enforceable
YOU for some goodly applause.

by more than few readers:
BOUT WOMEN
They're such confusing creatures.
II you argue with them you're a
tyrant If you don't you're sissy.
If you're kind and free-hcarted
you're fool. If you aren't you are
a pimp II you confess your
love, you'll be her slave. II you
don't you're sucker II you're
attentive they want you 10 leave
them alone. II you're not they say
you don't love them anymore .
II you skimp and save for your
future, you're a tightwad. II you
don't. you're a spendthrift If
you act possessive then she wants
her freedom. II you don't you're in
love with another II she gets
her way, you're door mat. II she
doesn't you're bossy If you
try 10 counsel her, you're die
tator II you don't she takes her
problems 10 another II you
ignore them, you're one of the
boys II you don't you're a wolf.
II you beat her, you're a brute.
II you don't you're softie. :, So
