Mr.. Editor: Can you tell a rather
homelv girl how to improve her looksg
My dear young lady; The most
certain remedy for plain looks, that
we know of, is to llduce yonr father
to run for president and get elected.
If your father will become president
you will at once become one of the
most charming girls of the nation. If
you are now as homely as a mud
fence you will then be a beautiful,
young lady with your
picture in the magazines and papers,
it will look so nice your friends wont
recognize you, your gowns will be
set forth as dreams and every thing
you do will throw the great press in
20 spasms. For further information
write Alice Roosevelt.
