THE MAN ON THE PEDESTAL

Prater and Blarney stone, from
all the great and quaint show
places of the old world way, l re-
turned across the sea to the place
of my nativity, to see Corinne
Barth. Miss Barth was reputed
beautiful as any Olymplan god
dess, and once upon time her
father had cornered eggs or wheat
or butter-beans and amassed de-
cent fortune. My friends had
cabled me home, declaring it the
golden chance of q lifetime.
Some reckless persons had sung
my praises in the lady's ears. II
was the boldest attempt at match
making; but from what / had
heard / was very glad to leave
the Riviera for the golden chance.

CAS- explained by the Beauty Doctors
Each morning, when you first, awake,
Masisage your face and head.
Roll over fifty times and take
dozen eggs in bed;
And after that, before you dress,
Run swiftly round the room
About two hundred times no less
(This keeps ones youthful bloom.)
Use seven kinds of vaseline
And eighteen sorts of paste
To keep the epidermis clean
And help reduce the waist,
Drink orange juice and lemonade
From dawn to late at night,
The while masseuse and a maid
Are all the while In sight.
Relax at least ten hours a day,
And exercise for ten.
Sleep eight hours-that much any way
Then exercise again.
Don't read--it wrinkles up the eyes;
Don't eat-it makes you fat;
Don't laugh-all beauty hints advise
Decidedly on that.
There are dozen other tasks
That one must always do
Like wearing rubber beauty masks
And rubber corsets, too.
No single minute can you spare
For friends or love, maybe;
But oh, consider, lady fair,
How beautiful you'll bel
