The photoplays have done something to reunite the lower-class families. No longer is the fire-escape the only summer resort for big and little folks. Here is more fancy and whim than ever before blessed a hot night. Here, under the wind of an electric fan, they witness everything, from a burial in Westminster to the birthday parade of the ruler of the land of Swat.
I will not send him his copy for a week. Perhaps, after all, I will give him somthing to worry about eventually. For I have recieved a box of roses, with no card, but a pen and ink drawing of a Gentleman in evening clothes crawling onto a fire-escape through an open window. He has dropped his Heart, and it is two floors below.
We using the fire-escape, pass over the intervening r reach the parapet outside the "partners' room" at the ding. I shall once again make use of the little room tners' office as a bedroom or rather "tiring" room, w if necessary effect changes of costume. I have tak ces in the name of Mr.
He crept over toward the window with a wild wish that black magic were included in a Yale curriculum the only really sensible thing he could think of doing would be for both of them to vanish through the wall.

Next, to discover the exact position of the fire-escape, he dropped to his knees and crawled to the rear edge of the roof.

Ted gave his version which only amounted to waking up on the fire-escape, trying to shout and succeeding merely in getting mouthfuls of towels Oliver preened himself a little there and lying there stoically and getting more and more furious until he was rescued.
