NAY! have you ever noticed that the
~ bug called Vanity can cook up
more trouble for human beings
than any germ that ever built its nest
In a brain cell?
It's a subtle little disease. this fever
we call Vanity. No man ever knows
he has 1t but he can always recognize
the symptoms in his neighbor.
Sometimes it breaks out in diamond
rings on the fingers; sometimes 1t
takes the form of ragtime clothing ac-
companied by rainbow neckties, and
sometimes it drives man into politics
who should remain at his post as the
chauffeur of a garbage wagon.
And then again there are occasions
when it never shows in a man until
after he is dead and his will reads.
Il give and bequeath the sum of thirty
thousand dollars for the purposes of
scattering my ashes from the highest
peak of the Himalaya mountains"
Hep Hardy has 1t for keeps. Around

drink seven Scotch highballs because
somebody swelled him all up by telling
him he never showed the effects of
