"Thar's no bar in the world wuth a hundred dollars. Why up in the Yallerstone, they offer to give 'em away!" "Sure they do, or did last year.

At which Timothy extracts from the inside of his silk tile a billboard poster announcing the comin', for a limited engagement only, of those European tango wizards, Mons. and Mlle. Moran. "I cabled our agents we wouldn't sail until we'd seen a sample of the paper," says Millie. "Gee!" says I. "You must have got next!" "Did we?" says Millie. "My word!
