Miller (announcing the Lyceum number,: “And the lady wishes me to state further that all her evening clothes were destroyed in the fire.” And just when we were going to offer our long coat to the occasion she appeared!——Evi- dentally she had saved a few old rags. RABBI’S RAVINGS WHEN you’ve gone * * * * FOR several days * * * WITHOUT that letter that * * * YOU’D rather have than * * * ANYTHING in the world * * * AND you go to th e P.O. ❖ * * IN a kind of discouraged, * * * DOWN and out, neglected, :i: * TURNED down, dejected, * * * LONESOME, lost, blue, * * * SORT of mood and then * * * HAPPEN to get the very * * * MISSLE for which you * * * CRAVED, ain’t it great * * * HOW all of a sudden ❖ * * SUCH small matters as * * * STIFF courses and * * * HARDBOILED profs get * * * BLOWN sky high and cease * Hs * TO mean very much in your * * * YOUNG life?
