"The Man at the Keyhole"

Hi there Gang:

Received a few cards without names or addresses, so I judge that it will meet the okeh of the readers to answer the same in this style. However, before going into that--the latest laugh deals with a certain gent who got the jitters last week over a little info spilled on this page and proceeded to buy up all the papers in sight. Six newsies sold him five each--not a bad break for the newsies but pretty unfortunate that the dub was so self-conscious or maybe--as he explained to his friends, he just wanted to help the boys along.

What really prevented the Grand march Friday night last, at the football dance? Official reasons were, that the crowd was too large--Babble reports that a certain Football Hero had four girl friends on the scene which would have made his partner selecting inconvenient.

Dear Man at the Keyhole:

I noticed in your column, several weeks ago, something about a certain man, and a certain lady going for a walk. Now, frankly, that worried me, because I am wondering whether that was my husband, won't you get me out of suspense?

Mrs. Anxious.


My dear Mrs. Anxious:

Your request is most unusual; while I do pride myself on seeing most things, I can't be personal. Ask your husband. I'm sure he'll tell you.

M-A-K


Dear Man at the Keyhole:

Why must you shroud yourself in such a veil of secrecy? I should like to see you, to know you. This "peep" game is so annoying. It makes you so close yet so far away.

Mrs. Adventerous


Adventurous My Child:

How can I be the "man at the keyhole", if I don't conceal my identity? Your note implies that you would like to meet me. Who would keep the kids? (If you have any) and how could you arrange with your husband? (If you have one).

M-A-K
