much like hokey-pOkey ice cream. The
day is warm, the SIGN is attractive. you
stand and read "Hokey-pokey ice cream,
only ] cent a square" You are weary,
you are warm, you feel in your pocket,

going TO get a delicious mouthful that will
make you, oh so happy You walk up to
the cart where loye-I mean hOkey-pokey
ice cream-is sold; you lay down your
penny; you demand your square. It's
given 10 you on piece OF brown paper; 1t
looks fascinating; you walk back 10 the

down in a gulp, but to enjoy it by slow
mouthfuls. At first it is delightful. Tie
second mouthiul is cool, but suggestive of
oleOmargarine; the third mouthful is
waXy and sticky, and then YOU take the
last with wry face and are disguised
with Yourself for buying il; feel that it
has upset your Le0rt-I mean your stom-
ach-aud that YOU never want any more
a-ain. And you don't, until the next
time you are warm and the enticing

new loves and new pains.
