A POmerdnidn Rhapsody
By RALPH R. SILVER

Ohl How they looked. On the south side of Second avenue she turned west. bless her! By that time she was followed by at least a dozen or more admiring
 boys and men all in the ecstacy of ad-
 miration and adoration. But did she east a sidewise glance or even turn her head
 Nay, nay. not her. The maddening crowd
 did not appear to bother her little pink | head.
 | Then she turned, bless her! And went l into department store. 1 The crowd gasped They had read of | pink wigs and pink costumes, blue wigs
 and blue costumes, red wigs and red | costumes. green wigs and green costumes
 but for the first time they had actually seen one
 Who was she? They didn't know and
 apparently they didn't care. For as she
 had passed through the doors of the de-
 partment store she gave a little turn of
 her head, opened her little pink mouth
 and they heard her voice. | She barked
 | For she was a little spitz poddle care | fully nestled in the arms of fashionable dressed womani
 | But she was pink from her nose to her | toes she was pink. And nobody cared
 everybody stood and stared; and everyone l declared, she was pink, | Whether she had been powdered, paint l ed or dyed, nobody stopped to ask.

Yesterday it happened-between show CTS
 And she certainly is some class said one of the drug store corner mashers who first saw her. And he was right. too.
 She was pink. Pinker than any pink that ever bloomed by name of pink. By Lucifer's Private Brand of Birthstone she was the pinkest pink that ever caught the eye of masher in this town and made 'em blink
 The hair on the top of her head, 1t was pink. And her pretty little ears, they were pink. And her cheeks and her nose, from her shoulders to her toes-aye, and maybe cen her hose-they were pink.
 From accounts of the>event, it seems now since the excitement has died down that she was first caught sight of at the corner of Twentieth street and Second avenue, right in the very heart of the city. She was going south, bless her, As she crossed the wet and dirty surface of Second avenue her fright was plainly visible. She seemed to want to curl her little pink feet up under her little pink self to guard them against the demand ing contamination of that black mud and water.
