Once let It flip, It cornea not aialn; Sit ai we may with our ipelli ana our aufurlef Never a huiband will marry uf then. Arlitophanei (Lyelitrata) A Brooklyn bachelorette who frankly confesses she is eagerly, even desperately, trying to ac quire a husband, says she would prefer to marry a dentist. "Do you know any young and hand some bachelor dentists?" she asks. I know a lot of dentists, some not such bad looking fel lows, but they are all married. It seems dentists are preferred matrimonial material. Why that' is I cannot definitely state at this writing. I feel however, that we should have some information on this matter in our Mules & Men files. I will investigate it. For a starter I will ask Irene Dunne about it. She is married to a dentist. Asking Queries from clients. Q. I claim the greatest of all Ameri can writers of short stories, O. Henry, was once a newspaper columnist. Right? A. You are right about O. Henry having been a newspaper columnist. He conducted a column for the Houston, Tex., Daily Post. How ever, I do not agree with your view that he was "the greatest of American short story writ ers." I believe Edgar Allen Poe and Bret Harte were both much greater than O. Henry in that field. Stogie Department The first intercollegiate bas ketball game was played at New Haven, Conn., December 10, 1896, between Wesleyan and Yale. Score Yale 34, Wesleyan 4. At that time there were seven men on a basketball team in stead of five, as now. You may seek to win a stogie from me on this statement. You may also be certain of winning when you find a sports record book that differs. But I'm warning you. Don't wager any stogies that I am wrong on this. You'll lose. Thai Campaign "Take that bitter campaign of yours against women using first names intended for men," writes a young woman of Manhattan. "No doubt it also includes cam paigning against men who use first names Intended for women. Therefore, I suggest you launch a complaint at .that talkative New York restaurateur known as "Toots" Shor. "Toots" is defi nitely a feminine nickname. In proof I offer the comic strip of Toots and Casper. I suggest Mr. Shor change his name to Cas per." Get It Right "Mary Pickford and her hus band, Douglas Fairbanks, shared with Chaplin the primary affec tions of theater goers of 40 years ago." That's what I noted stated by a contemporary reviewing the past 50 years of life in the U.S.A. The old boy is a bit off the beam. Mary Pickford did start in the film 40 years ago, but Charlie Chaplain did not ap pear on the screen until 1913 and did not become well known until 1914. Douglas Fairbanks' first film, "The Lamb," was not shown until late in 1915. Auto Navigators Do you fancy yourself as a transcontinental auto trip navi gator? Or as a student of United States geography? If so, here's a problem for you. There is sbme talk of all states charging tolls for autoists crossing their border lines. If that legislation went through, what auto route would you take from New York to Los Angeles so as to cross the least number of state borders? Also can you state the location of a highway where two states' bor ders would be crossed in 25 miles? Over There In England, it is the law that all dogs must have tags on their collars on which is printed their owner's name and address. The owner failing to observe this law is subject to a heavy fine. In some cases as high as the equiva lent of $150. A very good law. Evidently the use of a tag or a collar inscription to identify the owner of a dog is an old British custom. Alexander Pope, once presented to Frederick, Prince of Wales, with a collar for his dog. Inscribed on the collar was an original poem by Pope, as fol lows: I am His Highness' dog at Kew, Pray tell me, sir, whose dog are you?" Almost Confidential Note it stated the feminine article of attire referred to as "falsies" and "gay deceivers" was "Invented" in 1907. That can't be right. Dean Swift men tioned this artificial aid to figure beauty in a poem written over 100 years ago. . . . What is your answer for this query: When did the 20th century start, on Janu ary 1, 1900 or on January 1, 1901? . . .
