ISABELLE'S ESCAPADES.
Breaks from the 'Oly 'Ome Once
More,
The above case of tout Liddle's had a bearing on another case that cropped up suddenly on Monday. The interested party m this affair was the plump .dame, Isabel^ Jolly, already so often mentioned m; despatches. By some wireless means or other, little, plump Isabelle, languishing m the Salvarmy Homo, Caversham, got to hear of the stone- jugging of her admirer and protector, Mr. Liddle. The upshot of the communication was the stampeding of BeUe, m full regalia, from the Holy 4 and her reappearance m the old familiar slum off the foreshore. This .was the second misadventure of isaJjelle's from the pious institution. Her previous escape had resulted m a shikker, supper, and the pinch. Cop. Bandy repeated the latter trick on this occasion. ■
. Last Monday Belle stuck her neck over the dock and pleaded for everyone's sake," to Magistrate Bartholomew for renewed clemency. .;
"i." The S.M.: Why did you leave the Home on this occasion? , Isabelle: Here it is, shortly, your Worship. And may the Lord look sideways at you, but don't take me too seriously.
