What's tho Answer?
By EDv/ARD TINCH
I *
WlHV is IT DIFFICULT TO
WALK.. STRAIGHT WITH
YOUR, t-VE-S CIQSE.D ?
O KCAUSE one of your legs is
shorter than the other one and
unless the eyes are open, enabling
the brain to direct your feet through
your eyes, the course of one long
step and one short step will cause
you to walk in circles unless you
have" trained yourself through dili
gent practice to pursue a straight
coarse. If you don't believe me, get
a tapcline and measure your two
logs front hip to feet and then clcso
your eyes and take a walk?without

What's the Answer?
By EDWARD rtNCH
|\7JHY DO I LAUGH I
(WHEN t AM TICKLED? >V(f
WHEN you are tickled on the
feet or anywhere else you
might be sensitive, a certain set of
muscles and nerves are set into
action. This action sends to the i
brain a spontaneous reaction causing
a laugh. This same set of muscles
and nerves are set into motion
by a funny sight or sound causing
the same reaction?a laugh. Just
as when one person presses certain
strings on the violin and draws a
bow across them a certain sound
Is produced, so will the very sama
sound come forth when another person
sets into action the same strings
and pressure and bow.

was soon to be married, to Mr.
Don Barnes, who had a penchant
for sobriety and a fixed, millionaire-family
income. The shower
was an alt-feminine affair, and the
Rectory echoed with squeals of
. laughter.
In his study, the - felshop pondered
the batting*averages of certain
National League members of
his diocese who were not doing
very well, and awaited Don, who
was taking him to the ball game
that afternoon.
Their luncheon over, the girls
talhed daily of Anita's coming
marriage, threatening momentarily
to force sedate Aunt Abby into retirement.
Gloria, who was married,
chirped solicitously of men who
"were good ? Just foo good", and
Aunt Abby shrieked. Then Anita
noticed the ad in the newspaper,
an ad for "THE nnrjT *

"Girls! You don't have to bare
your souls to Arturo ? Just bring
your souks ? Arturo will bare

The girla tumbled over Anita
to road the ad, with gay exclamations,
when the Bishop entered.
They clustered around him, lovingly.

Then she showed him the newspaper.
"Any objection If I talk to him?"
"About what ? what's his
racket?"
[ "He gazes into the future?he's
a hypnotist ? he's marvelous ?
and he fascinates me!"
Anita went on, half-nonsensical
? and half-serious.

a tragic, monstrous mistake? I'd
like to ask- him that ? and I'd
like to. ask him ? "
The Bishop winked at her.
"Well, I'm taking the fiance to
the baseball game, so he'll never
know, will he?"
And he left.
When Anita and the girls arrived
at the salon, the dapper Mr.
Anthony Halstead, otherwise known
as "The Great Arturo", was holding
forth, with a hundred-odd
women in the palm of his hand.
With brutal audacity, he shocked
and chprmed them. And with an
Inveterate eye, he saw Anita. In
the midst of his routine, he asked
her to wait for him until later.
Anita did wait...and married
him.
Now, all over the world, It was
"The Great Arturo, with Anita."
The lovely Anita, as his wife,
lifted Anthony to new heights of

At the Piccadilly Theatre, in T.ondon,
Anthony presented a new addition
to the act, with sensational
results. With appropriate patter,
and the necessary chemicals, he
"created" a woman in & huge

steam, sllght-of-hand and the components
of a woman (in bottles)
were combined to form -! > Anita.
Drawing her costume from the
air, he dressed her, danced with
her, kissed her. Then she slapped
him, whereupon he placed her in
a trunk and immediately showed it
to be empty.
"And that, gentlemen," Tony
smiled, "is the most difficult trick
of all ? to get rid of a woman."
The applause was thunderous. In
the wings. Tony kissed Anita, and
complimented her. She replied
gratefully, but he was listening
to the applause, gauging It. Anita
understood, and left for her dressing
room. And Gloria, touring in

had always wanted. Anita sobered.
"Everyone home still thlnlc I'm
awful?"
"What do, you care what they
think?" Gloria shot back. "Tell me
about this human circus!"
"I can't. Life is a mile a minute
? and I can't talk that fast."
"Anita! Are you complaining ?
is that-what you're doing?"
Gloria glanced about the dressing
room. Anita's Jewels were strewn
over the table. Her luxurious Wardrobe
brought gasps of envy. Gloria
picked up two bracelets.
"They're not real," Anita said
quietly.
Gloria's mouth (ell open. .
"Look at these pawn tickets,"
Anita went on. "You see, Gramps
pawns the real ones. I'm building
a home ? way up in Connecticut.
I've even got clans. And it's deep
in the country, where there isn't
a female for miles!"
Ar.ita waa hilarious, and Gloria
knew how really happy she was.
"Does Tony know about this'.'"
"Not for anything in the world!"
Tor.y burst in, effervescent. He
greeted Gloria, and asked her to a
party, something for a London reviewer,
a hussy named Overton.'..
Gloria apologized; they were leaving
for America that night. She
kissed Anita goodbye, and left
cheerily.
Tony had made arrangements for
the evening, but Anita protested
against the pace. With a few gay
warnings and a light heart, Tony
left.
His clothes were In every corner
of their apartment when Anita
' woke the next morning. And there
