Did she ever dance at the Republican Club ball, held on the 7th day of April, 1909, at 8:15? Is it true his wife is suing him for divorce and the custody of the dog? Wont she tell how a girl can become a movie favorite in say three months? Does he play tennis? Is she married? Did he leave the stock company at Worcester, Massachusetts, because one of the girls there was eating her heart out on account of him? Does she make her own dresses, and if so, why ? What kind of hair-tonic does he use for his bald spot? Does she prefer blond or darkhaired leading men ? Does he sing? Is it true she is divorced from her husband, who owns a milk route and has four children living with an aunt in Bettendorf, Iowa? Has she ever been in Mount Sterling, Illinois? Does she ice-skate, and if so wont she come from California to Toronto and skate with an admirer there? Does he wear that peculiar derby hat as the result of a bet? Has she ever bleached her hair, and if so, what did she use? Does he know where a friend can get a phonograph, little used, with plenty of up-to-date records, in fine condition, guaranteed for ten years and very cheap ? How many automobiles has she got, what make, where did she get them, when, what did they cost, and who gave them to her ? What name would she suggest for a gray canoe? What does she do with her old clothes ? Wont he pitch the first ball for the Lakewood, Ohio, baseball team? Didn’t she sing “I Miss You Most of All” at the John Susheimer Social Club picnic, at Block Island, on June 27, 1910, and didn’t she wear a blue dress at the time ? Are his first two wives still living? Wont she offer up a prize for the fifth annual dancing contest of the Brodhead, Wisconsin, girls’ sewing circle ; or, better still, wont she come along and act as judge? Wont he look up a friend in Seattle, and get him a nice, easy job? What does she do with all her money, and how much real money does she get? A. L. Handler. (Seventy-four)
