One thing about Mary and Doug.; they are fairly exclusive. Some of the
younger stars might do well to emulate them. Yet, perhaps before a star
becomes a luminous planet it must do its sparkle; cast its lesser light,
until the fact that it does not glow at every gay party can cause more
comment than the mere presence, thereat, would cause.
Mary and Doug. are becoming more talked of because they stay home than
because they step out. Of course, Mary and Doug. have something to chat
of among themselves again, now that Nevada is talking marriage annulment
again.
We still remain firm in our predictions of months ago that Nevada has
more talk than annulment in her system, so far as the Fairbanks family is
concerned.

the best ’commodations you’ve got on this train.”
“You are looking for a berth, I presume?” queried the conductor.
“Thunderation! No!” shouted the irate groom. “Didn’t I tell you that me
an’ my wife just got married?”

Who gnashed his false teeth till he Bentem;
When asked what he’d lost, and what they had cost,
He replied: “I don’t know, I just Rentem.”

Would You?
_I would if I could, but I can’t;_
