This Girl Would Soon Tame All the Fresh Drummer Set.

A neighboring hostelry reports the following: The dapper little traveling man glanced at the menu card and then looked up at the pretty waitress. “Nice day, little one,” he began. "‘Yes, it is,” she answered, “and so was yesterday, and my name is Ella, and I know I’m a peach and have pretty blue eyes, and I like the place, and I don’t think I’m too nice a girl to be working in a hotel; I did I’d quit my job; and my wages are satisfactory, and I don’t know if there is a show or dance in town tonight and if there is I shall not go with you; and I’m from the country, and I’m a respectable girl and my brother is a cook in this hotel, and he weighs 200 pounds and last week he wiped up this dinning room floor with a fresh flfty-dollar-a-month traveling man who tried to make a date with me. Now what’ll you have?” The dapper little traveling man said he was not very hungry and a cup of coffee and some hot cakes would do.
