her lips. her gown accented sex with
horrifying frankness. She was Of the
type that make men wonder, and that
was little to her credit. Provincial men,

beck probably liked the doubt. There
was fascination in it. A man has told
me since that the frivolous women who
are good, enllessly ape the women who
are not. They ape the clothes. the
manncrisms, the tactics. and refuse to
pay the price. stepping delicately aside
with a laugh when man comes rushing
over the line. They are less scrupul-
GUS I think, than their less worthy SIS

Departmental
DittieS

THIS is the ditty OF the fas-
Gina ton of dlscrepant ages.
Behold how age turns to
youth for what it has not.
while youth turns to age for what
it can get.
The Gray Lady fixes her mature
anections upon the youngest males
in the Section. usually youths proud
ly drawing their first pay checks.
she invites them up to see her.
while youth, with its nose ever to
the ground, scents food from altar
and accepts. At the end OF the call.
gorgcd to content, the youth gladly
promises to come again or to go TO
the theater with his hostess some
night soon. after-theatcr suppers
being az Yet an untricd reNel.
The Wrinklcd Gentleman proudly
presents bunch OF violats every
Saturday morning to the lady OF
his choice. usually very young and
evidently unused to such tender at
tentions.
One odd thing about this cquivo-
cal situation is that everybody con-
cerncd Is happy about it. The jeal-
ousy of those not included In these
little dramas doesn't count at all.
The Gray Lady thinks that the boy
looks UP to her as a pattern Of all
the virtues. while he is happy in
discovering such an amiable commits
sary department. Tha Wrinkled
Gentleman believes that the very
young clerk appreciates his Courtly
grace far NOR" than she does the
unCouth advances of the boy of her
own age. when she really regards
his flowers as veritable godsend
to add distinction and romance to
hcr appearance at Saturday night
dances.
So cverybody's happy. Even this
song is CHI eerful.
