SAY LIFTING LYRIC
VIES WITH PRETTY
GIRL AS AID ASSET
Women Experts of Pen
League Declare for
Linked Sweetness

Pan is not dead in the realm Of
advertising according to prominent
women publicity experts who ad-
dressed the League of American
Pen Women last night in the club
house. 1922 H street northwest.
!. For, said Charlotte Bell Mann, Of
Baltimore, the lifting lyric has its
place in the advertising pages of the
magazine along with the pretty girl
in the scarlet sport coat who swears
by Regina" toothpaste. Even so
may the metaphor mingle with the
hectic description OF "Mandalay"
smokes and the ad writer need not
hesitate before insinuating a simile
into his glowing description of the
peerless properties of Peroxide"
soap.
Strains of linked sweetness, long
drawn-out" and other lyric liltings
are just as much the handmade of
commerce as the perfect profile of
! the magazine cover beauty, the
pen women believe.
The. above and other ultra modern
conceits in commercial Advertising
were eXpounded at the clubhouse
last night in protracted poetic bout
