OF the Perfect Wife. he drew inspir-

seven hundred wives.
Yet, in all his harem. there was
not ONE flawless woman.
For 10 there was Trillah, whose
voice was of silver and whose feet
were lighter than the fall of al
moud blossOms-yet she wore curl
papers under her boudoir cap and
left her hair in the comb.
And there was Musa, whose wit
was more sparkling than wine and
whose epigrams were more piquant
than spices-yet her tongue knew
not WEAKNESS. and she would never
STOP talking!
And there was Gracia, who was
fairer than the rose of morning and
sweeter than pomegranate-yet
she opened her vanity case at the
restaurant table, and powdered her
nose in public without shame.
And there was JazZa. whose mirth
was as "A spring tonic and whose
gaiery was as sunlight on a meadow
yet her p:es and puddings were
ALL burnt offerings
And there was Nampa, whose
heart was a SirOCco, and whose kiss
es were as old wine-yet her ieal-
ousy was more intense than either.
