Miss Widderbottom: "Gee! Mr.

Jackie: "Gulp! Always willing to

is looking at Miss Widderbottom

good to him.

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

that we still carry some authority

Misa Percival stalks away only because she is called by a special re

to be alone for another split second
so Jackie taking the situation in hard
says his bit.

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

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
