cosmetics as openly as women use

initiating news that hundreds Of
thousands Of men use them now and
he says this isn't effeminacy but
good sense. 1t is a blunder, if not
a crime, to look old, he says, and
cosmetics, skillfully applied, make
man appear young.
1t is Il good advertisement and
good propaganda for the beauty
trade, but a generation or two of

male sex gets his cosmetics first.

No, there'll not be any general use

Seek for us night and day:
Look down upon from on high,
And hear our humble player:
Upon this day of Thankfulness
