THE PENSACOLA JOURNAL, SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 29, 1919 5 If POLLY PLAYS THE ROLE OF CHAMPION ON FIFTH AVENUE i'atty, ratty, Patty: "1 The meanest man In New York nas; given me a KAIL'S! I have taken him out of the hitea Capital class and put nim In the lower case see how much 1 nn learning about the newspaper game! He may be mean but anyhow twenty per is not to be tmeezed at. It all cams about through the slim cung person with the broken back that J . drew for t he Chameleon long had 1 hisitated as to whether she should wear Frenchy ccnfectlon with a top-loftlcal !at. or a chio sweater, abbreviated skirt and go hatless. Having imbibed much of the t'r-rifi habit since earning my beard and keep, the abbreviation won, and The Sport editor liked my young contortionist so much that he swipe! her for his pige, whereup, on the M. M. M. had a row, because the M. M. M. wanted it to go on the Sunday section. nd the M. J I. M. won and was in such sjood humor about it (he and the Sports rot hitting it off so well) that I got tne raise. Moreover the Society Kditor over heard him tell the Sporting Editor that if lie thousht he was going to swipe 'he host Art in the office, he had another think coming. However, he is grouchlcr tt.an ever, ar d orders such slews of dis located damsels that I am at my wits n.d, and have: to spend at least two hours five days out of pevtn working like the Old Harry. I hope you do not let any one read these letters, dear Patsy, for tl ey are a bit Blangy at times, I admit. Hut hlang is no useful when one is rushed with work and not a minute to think, as I am. I went Hglt out and bought me the dearest, darl ingest hat. It cost more than a week's wage, but what care 1 aurely labor deserves its reward. I have had another adventure. Life up t.re is just one thing after another. I Ir-ave out th. picturesque language, but you will understand. I must be proper at all costs. It was lat-. evening and I was tired. T had spent an hour and a half at the Public Library, going over all the latest fashion magazines, carefully studying ihe pretty young things in whom I have sud denly found a near-goldmine, and hav ing shamelessly sketched two young ac robats. I went off to finish my Art. I wandered into Altman's and up to the misses' readj -to-wear, where I not on.'y frond charm:ng dresses to put on my sketchy youn r ladies, but other creation a well. And then forgetting that my role at preseiit is Poor but Proud, I Bpent the twenty-f ve before referred to in a r.ct-v and most becoming hat. Whereupon, the lovely Vision in t.ie ;iass whTspered to my Subconscious Self thus-wise: "What a lovely young crea ture you are! Why, oh why, do you not mingle with the throng of ifouth and Beauty which you are so well-fitled to adorn? And to make a long story less, I hsrJTened to the Voice of the Temptai. I took the bus and got back home :n a jiffy. pu On that perfectly darling evening gown that I wrote you about, ail pink and criffony and frilly, and the rcbt"' hat, ami my smart silk cape, and I looked like Ready Money. Then I we'it out for a walk. 'i he Avenui- was crowded. I never saw no many peojle going out for a walk be fore. There were many charming ladies in Icvely clothes with beautiful young mn walking alon? with them, on the leash. as it were, but I did not see any of the charmbers who put anything over on Psa sacola, me modestly representing Pen sacola. (That may not be grammatical, but it is the truth, and the truth crusned to earth must rise again. Tou can't keep a squirrel on the ground.. I was hungry and the day as warm. Do-i't ever tell anybody that I told you this. They would die of shock, but 1 went over to Child's and got a. glass of milk and some strawberry short-cake. You see, I had spent so much money tor the becoming hat, and its a long, long way to Payday. There is a Child's res taurant just off Fifth Avenue which i to that in Pensacola what sponge cake is to cornbread. Even the rich and the great dine tiiere sometimes, Patty, to you need not send me your next week's allowance. I am getting so I LIKE TO POOR. It's lots of fun. After I had had my glass of nice rich milk and had eaten my nice sliortcake, l felt ready to cope with anything, or any body. I was ripe for adventure. And as I turned into the Avenue, headed north, "between 42nd and 43rd streets, I saw that the stage had apparently been set. A crowd was gathering. As I watched they seemed to come from every direction Tabby, tucked under my arm looking up into the grinning, good-looking face of the young man in tweeds, who is noth ing if not ready. "WE've got to get out of this crowd. my dear,, he said, for already the you:ig reporter with the notebook had stepped ud to ask my name, and I saw .a man taking something out' of his pocket that looked like the bomb, but tne Man m Tweeds told me afterwards it .was a kodak. "We must get out of this." he whis pered, and then aloud: Kindly make way tor my wife! The next thing I knew I was In a limousine, and we were pammed In the traffic, waiting for a tall policeman to put down his arm and let us go forward. , They snapped us. but the pictures came out the next day with entirely fictitious names. He is a young lawyer, by-the-way. and he knows some Pensacola people and ne is crazy about my hat. He like Art and Artists. . Time is up. I have an engagement t-t t the Ritz. Ever yours. POLLY. P. S. I have a charming note ior mm. More and More and More! What could He wants to know how I would like to it be? I shuddered. Nothing less than . stop managing the Art of a woman's a bomb outrage could draw such a I page ang manage a law office and every crowd. I hurried on, hoping to be In at i tnmgv j t0id him I might not mind man tbfc death, for I am getting to have a I fng the law office but was not so sure real nose for news, and wanted The 1 about managing the lawyer.

As I drew near so did others, until there was a vast throng of us, pushing and shoving, while one could hear from the - center, quite clearly and unmistak ably: "Odds on the grey! m take you! I bet on the Little 'un." It was most astonishing. Traffic was congesting, and the crowd was spilling over from the Indigestion quickly relieved by the wonder medicine SULFERRO-SOL Tifnnnaa morvaimis results In Rheu- walk to the street.

I'm from The Sun, and it is most time for me to turn in my copy. At once my newspaper instinct sprang to arms. Let the rival paper get a scoop? Never; I watched my chance, ducked under the big poltcemanSs ' arm, said to a nice young man in grey tweeds, "Pardon . me, he automatically stepped out of the way, and I looked in on the betting ring.

What would w i do In Pensacola if such a thing should hnppen on Palafox? Just , what I did on Fifth Avenue, I suppose. I haven't train ed ln the Patriotic League gym for noth ing.
