IIoratia knew few games;
She knew some OF the picture cards
And knew some OF their names.
She thought the queen of diamonds
As cunning as could be
And said: "since you've the party planned
I'll sit right down and take a hand
And play at bridge with thee"
Then outspake Mrs. Lartius.
A woman proud was she,

g'he four sat calm and silent;
Miss Porscna she dealt;
Horatia opened up her purse
None knew how cool she felt.
She took the first trick gayly
And jumped a Joyous jump,
Then carelessly flung down a card
And asked What was the TRIUMPH"
She outplayed Mrs Lartius.
And exc the Slammer dame.
Referring 10 the book OF rules
To see about the game.
She won all OF their money
And rose from where she sat
And said she must be going N

Cannot forget that day.
With signing and with wonder
Stu Is the story told
How Miss Horatia played at bridge
Until her feet got cold.

WARNING TO USERS OF SO-CALLED
SUPERFLUOUS HAIR "CURES"

Every woman must realize that even
when soft fuzz is removed by these
so-called superfluous hair cures"
which stimulate the growth after each
removal, that it will only be question
Of time before she will have to resort
to the use of the razor, because even
tually the hair will become so coarse
that no preparation will be strong
enough to remove it without running
the skin.
Why take the risk of Disagreement
by using these unknown and uncertain
means for removing superfiuous hair
when there is such a safe method as
DeMiracle-the one perfected, nom
poisonous and harmless depilatory that
dissolves hair, thereby taking the vi
tally out of 1t. consequently retarding
and preventing an increased growth?
Don't be deceived by the imitator and
tmpostOr who resorts to copying GER
tain phrases of the DeMiracle adver-
Using to inveigle you into using
worthless, poisonous concoction, the
continued use of which will produce
eczema or other serious skin diseases
When a faker tries to deceive and
delude you by alluring and impossible
claims, tell him that DeMiracle Chem
ical Company will forfeit Five Thou
sand Dollars If it can be proven that
any so-called superhuous hair cure"
ever eradicated one single growth of
superf1uous hair. Insist on proof when
claim Is made that such prepara-
ton is Endorsed by the medical pro-
fession."
