Miss A. W. why is it that we
don~t see you out very often?

You really should come out for'

we love to look at those big
brown eyes and that fine brown
frame.~ ~We The People.~

Hey: O. L. who was that fine
thing you were with at the Grill
Saturday? We must say she is a
fine one. Look out B. J. G.

G. G. just what are you putting down here lately? Have
your many chicks put you down
completely? or have you covered the field so completely here
in Flint that you are looking
for greener pastures.

M. E. and Q. R. the creeper
is going to fool you two fellows
this week, for I know you look
for me to mention the fact of
your recent fling the other nite,
with a certain Mrs., but as you
know every road must end and
I know you are prepared for all
eventualities.

M. Mercury H. Well it seems
that you have played out in
Flint, and is thinking about cul
' tivating chicks of other cities.

E. W. and J. A. What have
you two to talk about other
than a reunion, and that looks
doubtful under the circumstances.

M. S. just what are you putting down, we give you ~redit
for being smart but don~t be too
smart for your own good.~A
Friend.

C. W. hit the road this week
to find his. pot-of gold at the
end of the rainbow, all we can
say is good luck Sucker.

~You think I am a fool because I don~t give you my
money~ was part of the conversation overheard in the Red
Dog. by Little Bit, one of the
waitresses of the night shift.

J. H. you are. quite a nice
fellow some people think, but
your recent behavior is pulling
down your reputation.:, A, Ss. you are nice to have for

a playgirl,"but what will happen

be too slick for your own good.
L. McM. We are glad that you
have taken the hint that you
have played out with everyone
except E. W., who we think
really cares for you, if you lose
her you know your. last: stop.

-To.the boys with the ~yellow
convertible buick, with.such a
fine car I should think you boys
should be able to pick some fine
talent and not the male sex
either.

R. M. T. you are so slick that
you really should leave Flint,
the place actually is not big
enough for you, small town,
