WEAR A SMILE
By Aylmer Harding.

If youWant to make life sweet. When another man you meet,
 Wear a smile. If you want to make a sale And reap success and ,kdie,'
 Wear a smile If you've somehow got in wrong And would make of life song,
 Wear a smile If you owe your friend a dollar And he sreets you with a holler,
 Wear a smile. When the world is looking blue And your best girl proves untrue,
 Wear a smile When you smile and keep on smiling. Through the darkest hour beguiling. With the thought of deeds that bless You will know real happiness
 And keep on smiling.

Fascinating Dances
Seen in Experience"

The latest modern dances are shown
in the golden cabaret scene on the prim.
rose path of pleasure in Experience"
which f. Ray Comstoek and Morris Gest
will present at the Yazoo Theatre Mon
day, Dec, %, 1919, Seated at the various
tables in the cabaret, dining and chat
ting, are such fascinating ladies' as
Fashion, Beauty, Excitement Song,
Frivolity, Pleasure, Slander and Pride.
With their escorts they sit intent simply
on dining and chatting but as soon as the
music strikes up a dance step, everything
is changed, and the Golden Cabaret be-
comes whirl of merry dancers, whose
greatest ambition in life seems to be
keep dancing all night.
One can very easily realize the impress
sion that this scene makes upon Youth
on his first visit to the cabaret, as he
turns to Pleasure and says; Pleasure,
let me thank you, It's glorious The
music and the laughter; the air is sweet
with the far faint odor of dying roses.
Everywhere there are women's eyes that
sparkle like the moonlight on silver
river. Everywhere there are white arms
that beckon me. Oh, Pleasure, how won
derful you are to grant me all this!"
In his fascination with the scene of rev.
elry Youth turns to Experience and asks
him If Pleasure isn't wonderful And
Experience answers: Wonderful indeed
in that she has no knowledge OF the pain
that follows ever in her footsteps
Yoath's enthusiasm however, is not
d1mpened and he says to Pleasure; 81
think you are the end Of the rainbow,
and all the treasures Of the world arc
in your keeping ] think you are the
sunshine Of cloudless day and all the
flowers of tho earth look up to you"
Experience has different point of
view, He says@ 81 think Pleasure is
but the stain Of last nights wine, spilled
upon the tabIecIoth She is but snow
fake fallen into the ocean. Pleasure,
my boy, is the last crimson flood that the
setting sun has left to die in cold gray
sky" 2S-1t
