He was a gay boulevardier— clothes tailored to perfection, gray svade gloves, hut at a most cutting augle and cane swinging in rhythm to his stride. Dignity personified. Then one day his neighbors got a shock. Gone the hat, the cane, the gloves, even the coat with the gar- denia in the lapel. He was out of character. He was nondescript. In fact, he was climbing a tree. He made you think of the organ grinder’s monkey. From one bare branch of this tree flapped a long piece of black cloth. He looked down at the curious face of a friend. Then he spoke. “Last Winter,” he said, “I waited for the wind to blow that darned piece of rag away. It got so every- time I looked out of my window all I | could see was that thing flapping in the breeze. Then came Spring and heavy foliage that hid it, and I forgot about it. 8o I decided to come up It spoils the view from my parlor window.” * X Xk X = REAL DRUG STORES.

ANCIENT RUINS. BEAUTIFUL young girl, visiting the Amphitheater at Arlington, asked the guard: “How long has this been built?” “Since 1920,” he said. “And to think,” she sighed, “the roof's gone already.” * % kX “MURDER"” MYSTERY. PRETTY young stenographer of A the Federal Bureau of Investi- | gation recently supplied realis. tic “atmosphere” for a group of em- | bryo special agents who were inves- | tigating, for training purposes, a staged “crime” in a secret room in the new Department of Justice Building. The agents were bending over the | prone form of “Oscar,” faithful | dummy who poses as the “murdered man” in the crime scene observation | test. One of them was examining a revolver which lay on the floor, an- other was studying the “wound” in Oscar’s head and others were making notes with simulated seriousness.
