HOW TO DO IT.

HOW TO DO 1T.
II you want to keep woman bright
and smiling for day.
1t isn't very difficult to do.
For instance if together you are stroll
ing down the way
And another portly lady passes
you,
y When she whispers. "Dearie, tell ma
now am | as fat as that?"
All you will have to do is promptly
answer, moi"
And with happiness her little heart
will start to pit-a-pat
And lock of real contentmsnt she
will show.
II perchance a woman passes who is
somewhat out of date,
II her shirtwaist slightly says above
her waist,
II she looks as though she hadn't put
her bonnet on just straight
And her costume shows decided
lack Of taste.
II your wife says: Tell me, dearie,
do ever look like that?
Have ever in my life been such a
fright?"
'I should say not" without look
yol should answer off the bat,
And whatever happens after is all
right.
If with wife you are strolIing and a
a stunning girl appears
In slit skirt showing much ex-
pensive hose,
With a set of golf-ball pendants gayly
dangling from her ears
And hat with all the latest furbe-
lows;
When she asks YOU "Dearie, do you
think she looks as well as I?
If looked like that would you still
care for me?"
No" is all you have to answer
even though you have to lie,
And very happy woman she will be.
