If you're tired of Rembrandts
or ZOrns, you might try the
novel decorative scheme en-
plOyed by a prominent Park
Ave. social light and his
flaming better half. Each had
been thrice divorced before they
blended with each other. In a
gold frame in the center of the
east wall of their living room
hangs their wedding license.
Surrounding it, discreetly dis
tanced, hang six black frames
containing their respective d.
vOrce documents. It's a charm
ing Set-up and reStful to the
eyes.
She was a Good Girl with a
Heart of Gold, they tell me. but
someone had been careless in as
sembling her features and the men
just couldn't be made to care.
The family went into a huddle
and decided that at least if her
teeth were fixed there might be a
chance. So $500 went into the
Golfers of a prominent dentist.
and the gal emerged with shining
new teeth and renovated old ones.
An additional TOO bucks was
poured into a new wardrobe and
a vacation in the CatSkills, where
eligible bachelors roam.
The system worked. A fine
young chap who owned a flourish
ing haberdaShery business took a
shine to the lass. It was only a
matter of time before the engage
ment ring would be thrust on that
important digit, if you were to be-
lieve the letters sent home by the
girl. Came the night before they
were to return to New York. The
sober young cavalier took his
sweetie to village fair. She felt
gay-so gay. She said: Let's go
on to the ferris wheel, huh?" He
protested. IT ham h'alwus gat-
ting deezy on the farrie WILL" he
explained. But~she urged and Ca
joled, and finally she had her way.
When they got to the top she be-
held a look of such utter agony on
his face she thought she'd just die
he looked so comically misera-
able. She screamed and she
laughed until her sides almost
split. She really shouldn't have
done that.
Her brand-new teeth fen out.
Seven minutes later when they
reached the bottom she started
to look for the lost set. She
finally found it, brushed it off
and slapped it back into her
mouth. But the fellow was gone
and she hasn't seen him since.
BY variation, there is the fayorite
in newspaper circles. A youngster
fresh from college was assigned by
a Philadelphia gazette to cover the
Fourth of July celebration at the
Gerard Avenue bridge years ago.
He returned hours later and turned
in skillfully worded story, packed
with alluring description in multi
syllables. For two full columns
the story ran along, describing the
crowds, the impressive pyrotechnic
display, the comments of the
spectators, etc. Suddenly the copy
reader let out one loud, prolonged
Shrek and tainted.
The last two lines Of the story
read: "Only one thing served
to mar the gala occasion. The
huge cannons exploded, killing

NONSENSE!
TAKE SOME MIDOL
AND YOU'LL BEYOURSElF

IT'S an old-fashioned girl who still
i suffers each month when there is
really no need to! It's just TOO bad for
the girl who doesn't know she can
keep her dates and keep comfortable.
For painful periods, do this:
Watch the calendar. At the first sign
of approaching pain, take a Midol
tablet and drink a glass Of water,
and you may escape pain entirely.
If not, then a second tablet should
check it within few minutes. Midol
is on drug counters everywhere.
