"How soon does the show go on, Harry?" asked Evelyn as she wiped her mouth on the back of her hand.
"In about three minutes, come on in and see it. I've got a good table for you near the band."
"I'd love to," said Pearl, as Harry took her by the arm and helped her through the crowd.
"Hello, there, Irene," Evelyn greeted a girl friend, "How's tricks tonight?"
"Lousy," answered Irene. "I ain't made but two dollars all day, but thank Heavens, tomorrow is pay day at Fort Bliss, the soldiers are coming, tra—la—la—la—la."
"See you later," called Evelyn, as she shoved her way into the cabaret, and on down to the table where Harry had seated Pearl.
"Say, Ev, that boy is a perfect darling—gee, he is sweet, so fresh and clean looking."
"Yes—Yes—Yes—my dear, every Bat in this town has said them same words, and I been unlucky enough to be at every saying."
"Oh—good—there goes the show—look, Ev, the way he announces, isn't he the cutest thing?"
