Ell Triunfo de Arlequin

Ell TriuRfo de Arlequin
Mono traza con su tirso ell signo
cabalfstico que despierta la Locura,
y Ia pobre humanidad tan cansada va
de parecer serfa, sacude los cascade
les de la risa y suena los panderos en-
sonajados que pregonan ell triunfo de
Arlequin.
Porque ,Pierrot con su rostro STEM
pre- palido y su traje nevada por la
Luna, solo reptile madrigales melan-
colicos que empiezan aburrir CO.
lombina deseosa de sacudir ell embrujo
del amor para ser de, nuevo la chiqui-
Ha lpca que rfe, que rfe siempre, por-
que sabe que en- Ell rojo estuche de su
boca tiene las mejores. perlas de su
divine collar de juventud.
Ella lie oyo decir una noche al des-
denado senor Polichinela, una noche
en- que olvidandose de ella, cantaba
Pierrot su nostalgica canci6n la Lu-
ma, esta Erase de reproche y de lamen-
tacion: iAh! 81 la juventud supiera y
81 Ia yejez pudiera!
Y ella que es la juventud, quiere sa-
Der, quieressaber, para que cuando lie
que la vejez que ella cree tan lejana,
su lamentacion no sea sino como un
recuerdo de todo 10 gozado. Y es por
ESQ que Arlequfn ha triunfado esta
vez sobre Pierrot Porque viehe YES
lido de colores alegres, porque tiene
EN- los labios una cancion de optinlis-
mo, I'm himno a la vida que debe ser
algeria, intrepidez, locura, para que
,luego nuestra vejez no Sc yea entris-
stecida por la pesadumbre rencorosa de
no haber gustado esas mieles que Sc
vuelyen acibar cuando Sc marchitan
nuestros labios por los frfos de todos
los inviernos.
Colombina volvera con Pierrot, pero
ahofa quiere refr y le deja, porque
Pierrot ess triste yselfa anna la algeria.

MUD-SLINGING
UPON THE FACE

Inc Gays OF mud-Sl1nglng are very
much in vogue. Yes, it is getting
to be quite the thing to sling mud.
Yesterday while wandering through
the aisles in the D. w. Adams Co.
store, I CHANGED to stray into the
toilet department, hoping to get
sniff of something sweet. And there
l discovered an attractive young lady
who offered to give me a free mud
massage. Anything free appeals to
any of us. SO l stepped right in be-
hind the counter, and sat me down
on the stool.
After bathing my face in cold wa
ter informing me that hot water was
also good for that purpose, she
tucked my hair back behind my ears.
tucked a towel under my chin and
started for me with a brush. 1t was
a cooling, pleasing sensation as she
applied a thick coat of some soft,
sweet smelling substance. We de-
was ounce flavor. Anyway, it was
refreshing.
My forehead. my cheeks, my chin
and even down on my neck, she COW
cred with something which she took
from bottle. And all the time, she
told me good things about her
wares.
Then she famed my face. I was
chewing gum. That's a very bad
habit. but sometimes do it, because
it saves me from lunching between
meals. But as she famed, felt a
Transformation take place. My face
felt like 1t does on a cold and frosty
day, when the sharp winds freeze it
into stiffness. Horrors! I found I
couldn't chew gum quite so vocifer-
dif-
ficult to change the expression of
my face. Realizing that a smile is
worth lot. I worked smile onto
my countenance before the final set
in.
And then I found that the smile
wouldn't come down. 1.-The mud is
drying quickly" said Miss Cosgrove,
as she continued to fan me. The
crowd gathered around and I felt like
the re-incarnation Of King Tut's
spouse for all the world. This was
because Of the wondering glances
which were east in my direction.
Some looked at me pityingly and
some appeared to be highly amused.
Soon my trainer announced that 1T
was already to take off. With a soft
gauze. wet in warmish water, she
proceeded to swab off the clay from
my face. 1t came off freely and
could feel my pores breath once
more. freely.
See the pink cheeks peeking
through the mud she. said. as she
turned to my audience. And looking
out over my mud -caked cheeks. l
could see their looks of amusement
and pity slowly changing to wonder
ment and admiration.
After the mud had been thorough
~ washed off my face. Miss Co.'S
grove covered it with what she called
an astingent. 1t sort of frightened my
| face and seemed to close up the
pores. Then she busted it (my face)
with a fine powder and touched my
check homes with a bit Of color.
Oh. 1t was a grand and glorious
feeling, when I peeked in the hand
mirror which she handed me. l
| looked like a new woman and my
| freckles didn't show half as much
| as I thought they did before the
treatment. r. H.
