WHERE SHE FALLS DOWN

A girls not always truthful when she's
 talking to her friends; .z Sheu make em think they're lovely
 when, in fact, she just pretends; She talks about her dresses when she
 ever gets a chance, AS though her bloomin wardrobe had come over here from France. She bTags about her ,conquests and her But shes cautious when it comes to
 giving any of the names; She'll do these things quite often, but
 our confidence she'll shake When she lies about the candles in her
 birthday cake. She tells about her jewels and the
 way she drives a car, And her many ardent letters from 3
 famous movie" star; She talks about her goIfng and the
 lowless Of.her score. And how about when dancing she's the idol of the floor. She speaks of her complexion as if it
 were her own, And also of her glorious hair as if it
 were homegrown But really it's a pity and a very sad
 mistake When she lies about the candies in her
 birthday cake
 she gets from n soVeT i"lTefeS there" "'-''" All written by the soldiers when czo,, they've had the time to spare; smell brag about the sweaters and the | socks that sine has knit. l And how the boys all tell her they're | the proper shade and fit. l SheI tell you of the generals and the 1 coionels that she knows, | And as she goes on talking. why, the | list much longer grows. ] She seems to be quite truthful and she 1 does not make a break | Till she lies about the candles in her | birthday cake -Ynnlrnrr

The Wznderer.

Several marked contrasts of charac- fer are said 10 be dominating features in the huge Biblical spectacle The Wanderer, which comes to the Davis theatre Wednesday evening, Feb. 18th. The plot of the play has to do with the parable of the Prodigal Son, and of course there is, opposed to this headstrong youth, the calm and stead fast elder brother
 Then the playwright, Maurice " Samuels, has introduced two young women Of distinctly different types. One a rustic maid, in all simplicity and sweetness; the other a Babylonian siren in all duplicity and worldliness.
 But standing in the most striking opposition are the two elderly women in the play. Huldah the mother or Tether tho prodigal. and Nadina. the mother of TIsha. the vampre. Huldah loves her son Jether with a love that will go 10 many lengths. It reaches 10 the gates of heaven and will go down to the gates of hell. Nadina may love her daughter, but she cer- taiU'y has 1 strange way Of showing lt for she is willing to sell the girl 10 the highest bidder
 When Jether arrives in Jerusalem and visits the home Of pleasure which is conducted bv Nadina he is intro duced as rich Judean prince, and N7dina immediately advises heI daughter 10 favor hinl--in fact. to be his hand maiden. Later. when Jnther's money is all gone, Nsdina is not onlN willing that Tisha sh-ll discard JetheI for Pharis. leachcrCus sea captain who in due season carries the gir away from her home. thereby deTHSv- Ing this unnatural mother of he, means cf turing wealth from the pock. cts Of the weak

Day, in the same field. Announcement
was made yesterday by the Warheit
Publishing Company and also by the
Day Publishing Company that beginning
tomorrow the Wdrheit will be merged
into more pretentious publication, re-
tanning the name of the Day
The high cost of news print paper and
other skyrocketing publishing expenses
were given as the reason for the amalga-
nation of the Wdrheit and the Day into
simply the Day. William Edlin will con-
tinue as editor in chief of the new Ddy.
The publishers said yesterday that
they believed the combination OF the two
papers into one will enable them to work
more effectively in their journalistic eff

ism among their foreign born readers.
With this in view it is likely that in
short time at least a page OF the ANAL
gamated paper will be printed in Eng
lish.
Politically the enlarged edition OF the
Day will continue the independent policy
II has followed since the Day was
founded about four years ago.
