The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1910-10-14

He would never write them letters he
lodged matrimonial fetters with
deep and crafty cunning that you
could not but admire;
When he went to WOO maiden, with
pound of candy laden, he would vow
to her with fervor that she was his
hearts desire.
But, afraid of legal quibbles, he was
chary of his scribbles, and he never
penned an answer to a tender billet
doux.
For, he reasoned very smartly, letters
figured more than partly as exhibits
when the lady had made up her
mind to sue
AS he read Of Jim or Thomas being sued
for breach of promise he would
cachinate and chuckle in the lining
of his sleeve,
Saying that each Miss or Madam, since
the early times of Adam, was a SUBJ
tie reproduction of her crafty moth
er Eve.
Well, he met Miss Lizzie Timmons who
was strong for rights called wo-
mems and who had some clever no
tions as to how folks should make
love,
And she kept him oft repeating tales of
how his heart was beating for her
always and his fondness was as true
as stars above.
Then, at last she hired a lawyer named
Lycurgus Moses Sawyer to recover
such finances as would give her
heart it's balm.
He Just snickered at the jury while her
lawyer spoke with fury Of the times
that he had wooed her underneath
the shelt'ring palm.
"O," he cried, produce g. letter, for you
see I'm a forgetter"-then a sudden
CONSERVATION stopped him as he
tried to laugh,
For each word of all his wooing rippled
forth to his undoing from the disk
that Lizzie Timmons put upon
sphonograph!

The Tunic.


The tunic continues in favor for
fall styles. 1t is usually very long.
though short tunics have been seen in
Paris; and 1t is frequently caught into
a band below the knees.
Sometimes 1t Is of self-material, but
more frequently of some such sheer
fabric as marquisette, silk voile or
chiffon.
Overdresses, very much akin to
tunics, are Of sheer fabrics also, and
are especially popular for afternoon
and evening gowns.
The chief use Of the tunic as trim
ming of ornament seems to be the
yelling Of the popular oriental ef-
fects. Sometimes the tunic is edged
or banded with the fabric 1t wells.

The tailors are naturally making
use OF the design, and are applying It
to their serge coats and even to suits
they are making. Smart, too, is a coat
of purple MORE with sailor collar

rosettes of purple lace, each one cen.
