There's been itort of a
I1 -up on all those whiw
slave scares lately; just
the same Miss Birken
head isn't taking any
foolish chances. A girt
all alone in an apartment
can't be- too careful
when showing the rooms
to a big. rtrong man.
, Miss Birkenhead, always
mindful to keep a piece
of furniture between
herself and the male of

Mr. Jump what nice big

Ethel and Aunt Dora think
everything is really lvrly
but oh. if they could be
left alone for a few

anxious to talk over the
bad taste of the furniture
with Aunt Dora, whether
the rent would be any less
on account of it but the
lady who is showing them
round the apartment

go. her whole being will radiate sweetness and
she will tell you how lovely she thinks the apart
ment is, and how there isn't a thing to criti
cise, but "it's not quitf what we're looking
for'" -

"Now, I just want you to look over
the roofs of those buildings well,
