This Is My Affair Page #4

---

Hey... I've got a new one for ya!

Don't tell me I've got to go through

that ace-of-spades trick again!

No, no... this is a new one.

Mr Duryea.

Come on to the office.

Wait for me, Babe.

Hey, I thought you were going

to help me pick a few winners.

Mr Patrick, I'd like you

to meet Jock Ramsay.

Mr Patrick is a friend of mine

from Des Moines.

How are you?

I ain't complaining.

Well what do you say

we shoot the works?

Hey... I wanna talk to you.

Yes, excuse us please.

Sure, I'll wait right here.

Be careful, son...

it looks like rain!

That's very funny!

He's big for his age, isn't he?

I bet it's a tough job keeping him

in tin soldiers and blocks!

C'mon.

- Who's that monkey?

- Just a casual acquaintance.

Well, see that he keeps casual.

Making expenses, Doc?

Why, these young ladies have already lost

my wife's next month's alimony.

How'd you know I was from Des Moines?

Because I am, and that was the first thing

that popped into my mind.

Why did you have to

tell him anything?

Because it happened to be

our opening night...

and I hated to see it end with one of the guests

taken out on a stretcher.

Please do me a favor... vamoose,

skidoo... and don't come back again.

- Maybe I'll see you here again, tomorrow night.

- I doubt it..

Something tells me the doorman

isn't going to remember you the next time.

Now wait a minute...

let's get this straight...

Whether you like it or not, I'm going

to see a lot more of you.

If you aren't careful Mr Patrick...

I'm afraid you won't be seeing

much more of anything or anybody.

Now, good night!

Be yourself.

Frank... show this gentleman out.

- Certainly.

- I'll see you again.

Good night.

Hey... come on...

Say, I was just kidding about that trick...

let's see it.

What?

You know... the new one

you had for me.

Oh, yes!... Sure!

Pick a card... any one.

Now look at it... don't let me see it.

Put it anywhere you like.

Alright... well, I'll shuffle it.

Now hold 'em in your hand.

Now do you want it on the top,

the center or the bottom.

This can do.

There it is.

No.

Oh, it is!

No.

Is that it?

I made a mistake... I'll do it again.

Now, here's something nice...

"For the self-supporting girl the material

for a frock of this design would be a useful gift. "

Pretty steep, though... $15.

- Can I see you tonight?

- No. - Tomorrow night?

No.

There's a good show in town.

- George Everson in "Rip van Winkle".

- No!

Well, how about a vaudeville show?...

Funny jokes and snappy songs...

Eddie Foye and one of those

song groups from the south.

No!

Now, here's just the thing...

A waist easily clasped with 2 hands!

Now... I'd hate to start at a rough-house,
