Show I I 88 THF CHA TTFR-ROX X- I N the afterglow III of the cigars fol-I fol-I lowing dinner at 11 one of the city's H jl HI clubs recently, Hj lga&g-fe.lll the following H was passed be- H tween chums: fl Under the flapping awning with its H little fingers beckoning, stood a young M miss, inquisitive as a doe and beautl- B ful as the dream of a poster artist. M She looked at the sign timidly and re- B ceived an invitation to step into the M musical studio and rest. For the au- M tumn sun was hot. Naturally enough M the maestro talked of his profession, M the charming misses he had had for m pupils and the remarkable gift they M had shown. Hj "Discovering talent," he averred, "is H my forte." H Not long after that she tried the H novel experience in receiving lessons H in vocal. And it is said that she be- M came infatuated with the art of song Hj and extremely that is, more than a M little bit interested in the maestro H with his quaint musical phrases and M his artistic temperament and clothes. H It was not long before pupil and M master were seen together frequently B and the social set, which cultivated the B teacher of song, welcomed the charm- m ing little lady into their exclusive H circle. And then, (without warning), Hi the profuse apologies of the teacher H were heard explaining that his part- H ner could not attend this or that func- H tion with him because of a nervous H breakdown. H "So sensitive so enthusiastic so H overworked at her art that she needs H a rest from all social engagements for Hj a while." H But an inquisitive friend ventured H to follow the trail of the artist home- H ward-bound and discovered that he H was still calling at the home of the H charming pupil. That he was wel- Hj corned by the strongest arms in the H world, those with dimples in them H which flashed out from the jet black H pair of elbow sleeves so becoming H and artistic. And the inquisitive H friend departed, wondering. He has it H that the little pupil is convalescent H and that the maestro is soon to be Hj accompanied again on his social Hj i rounds by his artistic and tempera- B' mental pupil and that he promises B great things of her voice. Strange the R effect which music hath on savage m breasts, and the strange bond be- H., tween the teacher of music and his L decidedly pretty pupils. K And in the afterglow of the cigar Hi' v light, further lit up by the lightning H flash of the cigarette, the chums whis- H per a name or two and then rustlo the H papers as a shock absorber, lest the Hi listener might be jarred by the names j of those concerned. Hp JHERE is one thing that a wife V,y will never forgive and that is to be forgotten. Sometimes he thinks it best to put up with a discouraged mate and will, as a rule, lend her energy en-ergy to pull him from the slough of despond de-spond she will even stand a grouch. But to be omitted from the schedule of affairs entirely, is too much. Many a matron has shed a briny tear when the hurry scurry of this work-a-day world her "best beloved" has forgotten her birthday anniversary, or the date of their happy wedding day. However, How-ever, to be left alone with the autumn leaves in a nearby canyon, while her spouse blithely motors back to town, is the "worst ever." It seems this particular pair had planned an afternoon in the canyon and the young matron had contemplated contem-plated decorating their cosy bungalow with autumn leaves galore from a nearby canyon. They started off gaily and all went well until, when they were well up among the pines and the scarlet maples, "something went wrong with the old machinery." Then it was that Friend Husband "got out and got under" the car and worked for some time with every available monkey mon-key wrench, jack and a dozen other tools in their kit. In the meantime the young matron strolled farther and farther away in her search for the elusive leaves and scarlet berries. At last the machine was in order again and hubby hopped in and drove off down that golden and red canyon road alone! While in the background, an amazed, distressed and eventually divorced di-vorced mate . Oh, yes, he has been more than busy with a thousand and one explanations, expla-nations, and they do say he has resolved re-solved that if he has to mortgage his soul, wifey shall have a veritable blanket blan-ket of sealskin, or a trip to Honolulu for Christmas, to soothe the troubled spirit that flamed redder than the autumn au-tumn leaves in that canyon and wailed more mournfully than the autumn wind in the mountain sage. XT is whispered that before snow flies another interesting military mili-tary wedding will be announced. The charming bride-elect evades the question ques-tion very tactfully when quizzed by interested in-terested friends. However, all indications indica-tions point that way, particularly as "he" is included in all family gatherings gather-ings and theatre parties. The maid is one of the most popular belles of society and has kept her soldier beau in suspense for the past two years. No doubt he has suffered anxiety akin to despair when he thinks of a cer-"U cer-"U onap in the sunny southern states is perfectly willing that he (the Euidier lad) should sail to France unwed. un-wed.
