about midnight
Lester went , too , and found a giddy thing of about forty fryin ' onions for a fam ` ly of five , includin ' three half-grown kids and a scene-shiftin ' hubby . That blow seems to discourage Lester for a week or so , since which he has run true to form . He 'll run around with lady typists , or girls from the cloak department , or most anything that wears skirts , until they discover what a tight-wad he is and give him the shunt . But his great aim in life is to acquire a lady-friend that he can point out in the second row and hang around for at the stage door about midnight . So when I sees him flutterin ' about Miss Joyce , and her making motions like she was fallin ' for him , I did n't quite know what to make of it . Course , now that she 's bucked up a bit on her costume she is more or less easy to look at . For a little thing , almost a half portion , as you might put it , she has quite a figure , slim and graceful .
