A  story of homely people—A wife with a face that would stop a clock—And her husband with a face that would start it again——

Mr. Moose——the husband——
Secretly saving his money for months—To take the detour out of his teeth——

CHARLEY CHASE

The Wife——
If Mussolini had had a nose like hers—his wound would have been fatal——

Vivien Oakland

JulyTuesday 13,19[2*]

Have saved enough
to have my nose
operated on and
to buy some wonder-
ful new clothes. It
is to be a big surprise
for my husband.

The Great Day—
When Mr. Moose felt he could face the world—Without walking backwards—

"——Your own family wouldn't know you—I have made up a false set—for identification—"

PRIVATE

—Secretly—In another office—the wife was winning by a nose—

"——Marvelous!—She is so different—So changed——"

"—I'm giving a little party at the house tonight—Won't you come over?—"

"—Thanks—I've stopped having a good time—I'm married—"

——The first girl that had ever looked at him without laughing—He was thrilled——

"—Please allow me—It's just a loan—"

"—Won't you let me see you home in my car?—"

METROPOLITAN
CAB
CO.

"—By the way—Wouldn't you like to go out on a nice little party tonight?——"

—Romance!—No man had ever gazed into her eyes before—They never got further than her nose—

"—Are you married?—"

"—Are you?—"

"—I live in the next block—I'd better get out here—"

"—Meet me right here—In half an hour——"

"—Wait here for me—"

—His master's teeth!—

"—Wait here for me—I won't be long—"

Fashion hint——His plus fours——

The Doctor's parties were most exclusive—Nobody was invited but friends, acquaintances and strangers—

"—Grab a good flashlight—We've been trying for weeks to git somethin' 'on' the Doc——"

"——I only know the polka—I haven't danced since 1888——"

"—There's nothin' wrong with the party—But the Chief says to arrest everybody for practice—"

"—Excuse me, Floradora—You're standing on my foot——"

"——Meet one of the Mayflower girls——"

"——I want to be honest with you—I'm married——"

"——Don't take it so seriously—So am I—"

——How does your husband look?——"

"—Terrible—Teeth like a walrus——"

"——We're raided!—Don't give your right name!——"

"—The musicians can get out—We don't want them——"

"—Boys!—The police are looking for a bootlegger!——"

"—They just took a taxi—"

Hours later——
They ran up a taxi bill of $11.95—And a temperature of 104°—

"—Thank Heaven—We've got nothing to worry about now—"

"—Extra!—All 'bout the big raid!—"

WILD PARTY RAIDED IN
FASHIONABLE APARTMENT

Caught in the Net!

"—So long—See you in divorce court——"

"—Throw that woman out before my wife sees her——"

"—You idiot!—I'm Mrs. Moose—with alterations——"

—The maddening thought—She had been stepping out—He couldn't trust her——

—He would show her—Would teach her a lesson——

"—Your mistress wants you—Knock loudly on her door——"

"—I couldn't go away without you—Leave your husband——Fly with me—"

"—My God!—My husband!—"

"—I-I-I had my nose lifted——"

"—See my lawyer—He'll lift it some more——"

"—He's got a gun!—"

"——Your hour has come!—You home wrecker!——"

MIRACLE OF MODERN SURGERY
SHOWN IN PLASTIC OPERATION

"—We Mooses never give up!——"

"——Now you cur—Leave my house!——"
