THE GAMBLERS
By La Monte Waldron.

By La Monte WaldrOn.
At Monte Carlo, where they take
Your hard-earned money with
rake;
At Monte Carlo. where they go
From all the world to risk their
dough
Upon the red, upon the black,
Or on the evershifting pack;
Where gather folks of ev'ry rank
That hope, some day to break the
banks
Where night is day and day is
night,
Where sanity is lost to sight,
yhere riches surely do take
wings
they do some very funny things.
We learn that ladies over there,
Who have but little time to spare
For basking in the sun by day
Because they're up all night to
play
Have found a way to look like
danes
That brown themselves in our
door games;
The trick is done by yellow
rays"
Synthetic tan is all the craze.
The fair ones with synthetic tan
May put it over on mere man,
But, still, we hope they won't be
rash
Enough to try synthetic cash.

~ oId-style picture of the bride
and groom taken on their we'd
ding day.
Photographs cost money and
most people get married so often
nowadays that they can't afford
Ito have so many pictures taken.
One guy had ten or fifteen
wives during his lifetime, and the
only way he could remember each
wife was by putting her name on
the back of eacn photograph.
And even then once in q while
no had to ask the children which
one was their mother.
OF course, some brides and
groeIns still have pictures taken
on their wedding day. but the
average couple doesn't stay to-
gether long enough to have the
plates developed.
The best way to do is to have
some friends take the pictures
with your own camera, and then
you've got your first six wives on
the same roll Of films.
If you do this, you've got some
thing else to remember them by
besides the stubs in your check
book.
IT'S almost impossible nowadays
for a man to forget his wife,.
especially If she's got . good
lawyer.
He doesn't have to have any
photographs. If he wants to get
reminiscent he can go down to the
city hall and read the records in
the divorce.
IL he's particularly fond of fic-
ton, he can glance at his mother
in-law's testimony.
But, Of course, If he's the kind
Of a fellow who likes bunk. he
can read her lawyers closing re-
marks to the judge.

Light is unnecessary. The aver.
age couple have been married so

But as rule they have the
church well lighted, SO that the
groom can't get away at the last
minute.
He doesn't care If the church Is
stuffy. He knows he'll get the
mir soon eiOugh.
Some couples have photographs
taken so that they can give the
picture to the paper. but this isn't
necessary. If a wife hasn't got
q picture of her new husband she
can use some other fellows photo.
He'll probably be the next one
anyhow.
But In this way she is always
two pictures ahead and one hus-
band behind.
Some time she'll have. to be mar
ried without having a picture
taken. so that she can catch UP
with the right photograph.
But, girls, it's best to be broad.
minded. Have several pictures
taken Of your husband, and then
you can give one to each of the
danes who marry him after you
get through with him.
