portraits of the modern girl have made
him famous, said at a dinner party
in his New York home:
"The modern girl has many faults,
but nj least she is open and Above

"On a moonlight winter night In
Florida a modern young man passion
ately kissed a beautiful modern girl
under a palm tree.
I'm be frank with you,' the young
man said after the embrace was over
You're not the frs. girl I've ever

short and pronounced, for n the winter
