The Man Who Would Make Rhynes---By Kari Kaffer

Her satin shod feet graced the fender (size four),
showing round silken ankles-and quite bit more.
And gay flounce Of petticoat peeped with frt
through the flap of very audacious "split skirt.
Patricia sat dreaming High up head hung
another Patricia although it said that she
called Patty seven decades ago, when she. like Pat
ricia, awaited some beau With hair much be-puffed
and in velvet resplendent she gazed from her frame
this giddy descendant. What contrast! Her
skirt 90 yards round, recalD, to Patricas, which
seemed nearly no skirt at all!
Patricia's grandmother? Dear me, no indeed! Pat
rcias grandmother having her maid curl her
hair that identical moment, for she was expecting
number of callers for Twas her grandmother's
mother. that flrbelowed dame, critical and aloof in
her lofty gilt frame Now, strange to relate, while
Patricia sat dreaming, and watching the blue flames
paling and gleaming--her eyes misty grown with
thoughts trav'ling afar-right down from the frame
stepped her greatgrandmama! And established her
self with a stately air, and with questing eyes, in
great armchair Then glancing askance at Pat
rcias silk hose. said, my dear, you sure you've
got on all your clothes: Just think how you'd fee,-
her voice dropping ow-"if Fred should come in and
you looking sol"
"You don't call that a skirt! That thing foot
wide, not even sewed up all the way down each side!
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-02-01

In my day, my dear, I'd have thought 1t shame to
wear such an object that. Twould have made peo-
pie stare And believe my child you might search
near and far and not found such sport your great
grandpapa and yet il he'd seen me displaying just
half as much you're showing right now of your
calf and wearing frock indelicate-my! | can
see how the soorn would have flashed in his eye
and how with politest contempt he'd have said fare
wel-and gone seeking more modest maid! And
now Just a word my grandchld, ere go: the beauty
that's yelled, and not always on show is rated far
higher by men, south north, than this barring of
ankles and arms, and-so forth"
Patricia sat up, just about to reply, but the old
dame was gone in the wink of eye. High up in
her frame, with face free from guile, She gazed
with her old-tine wise little smile The gas log
glowing the room warm and hushed; Patricia looked
down at her ankles, ard bushed. Then she jumped
from her chair with quick little spring, she
heard from the door bell vigorous ring. Up the
stairway she sped, calling down to the maid Just
tell him he may have to wait, I'm afraid But I'm sure
to be down pretty quick-in minute"
Then she ran to her room and locked herself in it.
Soon Patricia emerged looking sweet
in rutfly flounced frock coming down to her toes.
1t just bit rumped If truth must be told. What
could expect when twas four years old?
She beamed on her lover, and then she was moved
very neary to wrath, for he disapproved.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-02-01

Bad policy. Readers would feel they not
getting thir moneys worth When commits the
extravaganza of paying much cents for only
60 or 70 pages Of reading matter, wants those
pages filled up, without any of the perfectly
useless little spaces accorded to poetry.
so one of the editors tackled the man addicted
to verse writing as follows: tsg
my good fellow, we like your ideas; they are
sound; they perfectly all right. But give them
to us in prose. That's what the people like-plain
prose-"
'But my dear mar," argued the verse writer, "if
an IDEA is poetic. it should be expressed in poetic
form. 1t should be richly clothed in verse;"
That's all right" said the editor, 'but undress
those ideas little the next time. Send one in a
check gngham garb of prose, eight words to
the line. Now here's plain, practical idea; take
the present styles in women's clothes. Compare
them with the styles of two or three generations
ago. That's subjec. interesting to women, and
there's nothing in it to be leading you astray into
poetry. Try it, old man."
And the poet promised he would, and accordingly
sent into the editorial department, in due time, the
following result, entitled:
THE TWO PATRICIAS

up. When the Guvverner Blew Up he did
so like he does evvry thing else-he left
little to be desired. He put quite good
deel of expression in it, and gave the
mattur careful and painstaking study as
to details. Sumhow or uther the peepul
got the idear that he was trying to put
sumthing ovver on them, and when the
peepul get that idear furmly fixed in
theere beans, its good mite Ireen, for sed

peepul will commit irrasionel follies and

system of soft pedalling the mistakes of
4is administration, and keeping the con
structive things performed entirely in the
lime-lite Moor -ovver he turned his enc
mics into an asset and forsed them to as
sist him in keeping the reel things he had
dun for the peepul promminintly before
them With his mouth at the ear and his
fingurs on the pulse of the proetaryat,
Guvverner Comur rode back frum total
obliviun into our midst before we had
hardly got used to his absinse.
There air just worlds and worlds of
polytsians in Alabama who having at
tinded the funnerel of Guvverner Comur
in 1910, and enjoyed the festivities very
much indeed who persist in believing that
the Guvverner is still ded one. They
refused to be convinsed that this is his
secund time on earth, and that the revival
of Comurism is emmy thing but a specter
which has harked back frum the battle
fieeld of 1910 to haunt then. But along
in the Spring ira la, they will find this
polytical corpse giving one of the most
approved and correct immitasons of being
a live wire that it has ever been theere
disgust to behold.
There is a reesun for all this The
principal reesun is the Guvverner himself.
With his menny and varied faults, he is
as snseer friend of the peepul and as hon
nest as the day is long; moreover he does
not lay aside his honesty aftur sun down.
He is capabull of making mistakes, and
is air to human frailties just the same as
emmy uther polytisian but his blundurs
air not deliberate, and air the results Of
poor judgemint and they have been few
in number. He's as hard-heded and self
sentured as a Missoury mule, but his pur-
poses air for the bennefit of his State and
not SO much for his pursunnel agandize-
mint. His bark is much lowder than his
bite is seveer, but he can, and he will bite
at the proper time, and the bittee always
knows that he has been bit He is inclined
to eXaggurrate the rongs of the peepul,
but he points out those rongs with an un-
earring fingur, and is moor tempurrate in
theere correctsion than he is in theere
denunsiasion-but he corrects them, or
aims to.
OF course theese air our pursunnel
veews on the man who is going to be the
next Guvverner of Alabama, if we haven t
maid a bad guess. Emmy how those who
air opposed to him have maid vain and
frantic attempts to sentur on a man whom
they think would stand sum show against
him. and theere efferts seem to have cum
to nought. 1t looks like the feeld against
Comur and from this point of veew it takes
Lick Telleskope to make out whether the
feeld is still in the race, or has forgottun
sumthing and gone back aftur it. Yours
trooly, BILL VINES.
