ed to be having a swell time. ■ • • j
Alfred is still raving over the rumor

BEER JOINT RELIEF?
“If at first you don’t succeed, try,
try, again,” will always be my old

a young girl’s fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of love.At last we
have peace at Twenty-fourth and
Clark streets since that gambling
joint has been removed and the Harl
em Beer Tavern moved in.
J- T- and Marion are doing a duet
down the Avenue now.Irene
Harrold is in trouble again.
One #f our little social regis
tries has gone into the underworld

Butler’s kisser was scratched and bat
tered a little last week. ,
BRIGHTEN MEN’S CLOTHES
Style experts announce bright col
ors i nmen’s clothes, “to forget the

kissable
