TOO BIG!
We often hear of fat people trying to get thin, and of thin people trying to get fat, and of short people trying to grow tall, but have you ever heard of someone trying desperately to keep short? There is a sad tale to be told of a page boy at the Savoy Hotel, London, | where the maximum height of page boys is four feet six inches. This particular 15-year-old boy has suddenly shot up in the last two months, and is now within one-third of an inch of the dreaded maximum. He has tried everything; if he starves himself he gets thinner, but also taller; smoking only seems to give him added inches. He is now reduced to wearing heelless boots. It is a sad story.
