How long! Ah! Darling (-' I ay How long my Ufa shall tail? Dry bo that tear, ho huihed that sigh; At leant I'll love you till I die; Huihed ha that (Iglt. Sheridan. It li frequently claimed small families are the rule in tne Dor- oueh oi Manhattan. That's not right. Manhattan has as high ncrcentaee of large families any section of the country. This comment inspired by hearing a resident of the East Eighties, Manhattan, has just given birth to twins. This lady, still in her thirties, now has seven children. She is well fixed financially, but nevertheless does not turn the handling of her children over to nurses. She takes entire charge of her offspring. Working Girls Are you an executive whose duties include the engaging of female helD? When you hire a young woman to be a typist, bookkeeper, file clerk or general office assistant what questions do you ask her? How do you judge her? There is a New York advertising executive who is often complimented on the effi ciency of the females on his staff. He was asked to what he at tributed his success in securing such competent female help. He said: "First 1 iook at the appli cant's face. If that appeals to me 1 look at her legs. Then it she nas well.formcd legs. I hire- her. I do not ask any questions as to her husiness ability. Women with regular features and good legs are usually ellicicni. Passing By Hnhert E. Sherwood. Play -wrinht, essayist and pinochle enthusiast. His first play was "The Road to Rome." Bob says he wrote it because he "needed the money." This brings to mind that Damon Runyan wrote his first short story to acquire the money to pay some medical bills. Come to think of it I once wrote a short, short story and sold it to Colliers. Do you know why? The landlady was nagging me for my room rent. That, of course, was before I had my racing system perfected. Horges fc Women Note a reference to a new fem inine style called "the Delilah dress." This garment is alleged to make the wearer feel like what is frequently called "a femme fatale' That this type of attire builds up a woman's glamor cannot be questioned. The difficulty is that when a mar ried woman begins feeling like a "femme fatale," or a vampire, she is Inclined to give her at traction appeal a try-out. This generally results in a hurmluss flirtation, but at times things get out of control. Anyway, mister, if your wife acquire a "Delilah dress" caution her to be as care ful as possible. Champion Have recently been in receipt of some communications from fellows who fancy themselves as big breakfast eaters and in some cases claim to be champions in that respect. Therefore, 1 wish to Inform these clients that the rec ord for consuming a large break fast was made in Virginia City, Nev., in 1871, by a miner named Patrick Murphy and to my knowledge has never been brok en. History tells us that one spring morning in 1871, Mr. Murphy en tered a Virginia City restaurant and said: "Landlord, I would like a bit of breakfast; bring me a porterhouse steak and onions, a side of liver and bacon, six fried eggs, a German pancake, some fried potatoes, a pot of coffee, half a dozen doughnuts and a few waffles." Molhers-in-Law Are you fond of your mother-in-law? Or if you have a married son are you fond of his wife? A New Jersey mother-in-law says she and her daughter-in-law have been living together in complete harmony for the past 27 years. For 18 this subscriber lived with her son and his wife. After her son's death she and her daughter-in-law continued to live together though financially Independent of each other. "Is this a record (or affection betwern mother-in-law and diuighter-in-liiw?" she asks. Don't know about that, but it certainly is unusual. It brings to mind the poetic tribute to a daughter-in-law by Jc-Hn lngelow. namely: A sweeter woman ne'er drew breath Than my son's wife, Elizabeth. Get It Right Referring to the Ketchel-John-son bout at Colmn. Oil., 40 years agn, I said thnt Kctehell knocked Johnson down, the latter imme diately arose and knocked his opponent out. That was wrong. Johnson took a count of eight be fore getting up. Stogies carefully wrapped have been sent to the well-informed subscribers mak ing the correction.

This song already has earned in ex cess of $100,000 for Novello and is still bringing In royalties. Speaking of royalties from old songs, my good friend, Wolfe Gilbert, is still receiving royalty checks from that lively ditty, "Waiting for the Robert E. Lee," which he wrote 37 years ago.
