A woman always did look good
to me. There is nothing partic.
ularly startling in this statement,
since it is true OF every other son
OF Adam who has imagined .hat hc
amounted to something since time
began. II is born in the flesh, and
no he thing with a drop OF red
blood in his veins wants any other
condition. In tact when they cease
to look good to him he Is perfectly

As the years passed on, ,Gyr.
was no change in the way they
looked. Contact with th, world

to conceal 1t as best ! could, and
looking back at itnow, am free %
confess that they look good always
They did when they wore Crinollngs
and dancing was a task that 'u-
volved all OF th, genius oi ~I..I.

to c]onhscation OF his shirts, his

women look like fury IN th,-
masquerade, but all Jt them look
good 10 me.
SO did they when the SHIRT w1ls,
came TO stay. This classical gar

OF the male shirt. The only lIt

They even looked good when
