But the twins have Easter ChapeauX
And those hats have got them on!
See our ROSTERS bright tail feathers?
They were plucked for Sister Kit,

When they deck the rear of it.
Who said "deck?" Our little Bobby
Once possessed a bright blue boat
That could sail in bathtub waters;
On my locks it's soon to float.
Hats must be small, they tell me,
If you'd be in the swim;
So if you want to spread yourself,
Just do it when you trim.

And the gardener missed his hoe;
E'en the windmill is dismantled-

Anything in any realm.

With YOUR FANCY at the helm.
At the mast or in the steerage,
Downward, backward rear or aft.

with all the advice that has
been given about NIistresses and
Maids. Sometimes he is tempted-and
does advise his clients-to take the lit
tie Maid in preference to the daughter
of the house, who lords it over the
shrinking girl who waits on her.
Cupid knows the Maid is better ma

way more desirable for life partner

often wonders why it is that more men,
when they come a-wooing the spoiled

The Inside Of
Hat Game
nT SUPPOSE you wonder why I
bought such an unbecoming

"A
bought such an unbecoming
hat" remarked the boarder with
the dimple in his chin. "Well, I have
also wondered why you fellows bought
such ungainly lids when you got new
ones. But now I can tell you the whole
sad story
Hat statesmen, you know. must have
their fun. They hardly ever get off
early enough to go to the bali game, or
any such place, where they may
frolic. They have TO get their sport
out of their business. So they do it
Systematically.
"A man comes into the store, There
are three hat statesmen in this store
Fat skinny and Beak.
Fat takes the man. He is a tall,
thin man. Fat picks out tan thin
hat and tries il on his own head to
show the buyer how it looks. The
buyer is pleased with the way it looks
on Fat. He tries 1t on himself ana
Fat says it looks fine. A man usually
buys a hat that anybody says looks
wen on him
"rhen Fat calls Beak and Skinny
and they admire the hat The buyer
looks like a giraffe on stilts, hut he
takes the lid and goes away pleased.
This constitutes one point in the
game for Fat.
The next time Beak gets a shot at
n pugnosed man and gives him a hat
with a short crown. which the other
bows in the store admire So the hat
is sold to the pugnosed man, and he
goes out into the street we'll satisfied
with purchased lid that makes him
look as if he had been sliced off in
front
