Around the Globe on Stilts

----------
A fashionable New York hotel now permits women to smoke in its dining rooms, corridors, or any other old place. If this smoking stunt keeps on growing among the fair sex we may soon be confronted with divorce suits over the custody of the "makin's."
----------
Two men propose to journey around the globe on stilts. It is not clear why they should be permitted to do so, as necessarily they would have to traverse territory where more or less prejudice against vagrant tramps has found expression in statutory restraints, and even in rock piles.
----------
A schoolgirl in Indiana has fallen heir to $30,000,000. This news will probably have an agitating influence in European titled impecunious circles.
----------
Something in a Name
Ella - He's very narrow.
Stella - What do you expect of a flat?
