A stand decorated with drab colored crepe paper is erected out in the
main lobby ; and perched behind, on
one side is Mr. Jackie Siko pouring
out some non-colored "Stuff" called
punch which was strong enough to
give a baby for his breakfast. His
charming friend is greeting the public with a broad smile and a lovely,
"Good evening. " Miss Gigglesworth
and her friend Tiny are running blue
streaks around this stand to keep
things going smoothly .
Why does most of the crowd pass
this friendly sta tion up? What's
wrong with the punch?
Miss Widderbottom: "Gee! Mr.
Siko, maybe you spilled something
in the bowl. Want to taste it and
see?"

Jackie: "Gulp! Always willing to

oblige ." The only trouble is that Siko

is looking at Miss Widderbottom
when he tastes it; so it naturally is
good to him.
Just then Miss Percival is seen politely pushing her way through the
crowd .
Miss Percival: "Ahem ! What's the j
idea of this volunteering work? Don't
you know that when special committees are appointed here, we have to
approve of them? You must realize
that we still carry some authority
around here yet! Now boys you may
go to your rooms and the girls will
carry on for awhile. What do you
think the public will say having both
boys ?nd girls working right next tc
each other?"
Misa Percival stalks away only because she is called by a special re
quest. This gives the boys a chance
to be alone for another split second
so Jackie taking the situation in hard
says his bit.
Our hero: "Fanny a-er—ah , this
is going a bit too far. We are contributing to this institution by offering our help and what thanks do we
get? Well , th ey 'll wish they did
thank me. Just wait and see! I'll .
I'll—
Fanny : "Why , why—Mr. Siko!"
Our hero realizing the scene he was
making dashed off quickly with his
fellow friend , and in their rooms he
says to Tiny wondering, "I bet I fixed
it up swell with her. I always put
my foot in it, darn!" Back at the old
home front Miss Fanny catches her
breath as she exclaims, "He 's wonderful , he 's so brave! Why, I think
I like him; and he called me—Fanny !"
Ahhh , yes love is grand , when it's
