1 couldn't evel spare a pack. He
apologized profusely of course when l

1--WE nave long become resigned to
| devilish females smoking after din
ners and luncheons and at ca time
at home and in the smart hotels in
our big American cities. What the
| folks back home have to get educated
| to now is seeing their darling daugh-
| tiers. wives and sweethearts strolling
along hotel corridors, popping in or
| out of taxis, with a dainty cigaret
| held nonehalantly 'twixt their ruby
! lips or else extended at a more dis
Greet distance at the end of a gayly
hued cigaret holder.
These cigaret holders are allur-
ingly irresistible in their gay color
schemes of bright reds, green's, blues
and yeliows combined with ivory,
| banded in god, monogrammed, or
| else in just one solid vivid shade, but
all and everyone very long and sIen-
der of line. Most any girl would be
| willing to smoke herself to death just
to own and manipula@e one of these
charming accessories. Then here are
| the fascinating briquets Chat some
| times work. and the cigaret cases
made by the wounded soldiers that

THE WISE HEAD.
There is a man in our town and he
is wondrous wise, he jumped into a
bramb1e bush and scratched out both
his eyes" That bit of verse was writ
ten to entertain a child, its truthful
ness is amazing, if I were to put it
mild. Did you know it's the wiSehead,
the one that knows it all, that's always
being cheated, they are easiest to
fall He knows so much, he talks a
lot he has a swelling in the dome.
He tries to lead you to believe your
brains are lot of foam. If you should
want to be real smart and know
lot of things. why he could take you
in command and teach you every
thing. 1t doesn't matter what's
brought up nor what the subject is,
he can make you feel that you're all
wrong, you must agree with his. And
this poor ego bloated fool goes am
bling on thru life. with few friends
and always causing strife. You
couldn't tell him anything, oh no, he
knows it all. But, boy, when this gink
starts to slip, it's going to be some fall
Cause some wizened. cried up, paper
weight will come along some day and
put one over on this boob and then
you folks will say, why I thot he
was above such things, I didn't think
he'd bite But all 1 have to say to
you and this 1 konw is right, THE
bigger they are, the harder they fall, :"
| is what Old John L. said. and when
e'er you come in contact with some
boy with b1oated head, just humor
him and pity him and know it won't
be long, till his wisdom you can buy
for a trifling little song. So don't
worry because the other man seems
to know a lot, just tend to your own
knitting, don't blacken up the pot.
Go On about your own affairs and
