BAILEY ISAAC NATHANIEL. Sweet is the
memory of our husband and father.
ISAAC NATHANIEL BAILEY, who passed
away one year ago today, September 19,
1850.
If all the world were ours to give.
We would give it, yes, and more,
To see your smiling face again
Come smiling through the door.
Time speeds on, one year has passed,
Since death its gloom, it shadow cast
Within our hearts, where all seemed
And took from us a shining light.
We miss that light and ever will.
Your vacant place here no one can fll;
Down here we mourn, but not in vain.
For up in Heaven We will meet again.

BY the Associated Press

CARMEL, Calf. Sept. 19.-
Gelett Burgess. fun-loving humor-
ist who penned the Purple Cow

The 85-year-old author who

wanted it that way. Plans for dis
posal of the body have not been

Aside from the Purple Cow
verse, Mr.. Burgess regretted very
little about life.
Life is too short for regrets, y
he said shortly after moving here
two years ago.
Living is the pursuit of fun
If you want money, you special
ize. If you want fun, you create
new things. Most of my books
wrote in fun. That's why they
don't SELL"
Some did, though. His "Goops
and How To Be Them. was 8
best-Seller so years ago. Other
Ifavorites were The Lively City

and "the Rubaiyat of Omar
Cayenne.
Mr.. Burgess was born in Boston
in 1866. He came west at the
age of 81 armed with a pen ano
a science degree from Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology.
He loved San Francisco-espe-
cially its cable cars. He immor-
talized them in his Ballad of the
Hyde Street Grip" (where "the
grades are something giddy anc
the curves are fit to kill!").
He spent much of his later life
in New York and Paris-which he
called "the only city aside from
San Francisco where a man car
be himself"
At the age of 48 he married
actress Estelle LoomiS. She died
in 1947. His last known relative
a sister, died three months ago.
He moved to Carmel to continue
his fight against Shakespeare. Mr.
Burgess stoutly maintained the
Bard's plays actually were written
by Earl Devere. the 18th Earl OF
oxford.
For most of his life Mr.. Burgess
was known as the Purple Cow
Man" because he once wrote:
II never saw a purple cow
I never hope to see one:
But I can tell you anyhow,
| I'd rather see than be one"

many Cubans' prediction for
American styles. Cuban women
used to depend on European de-
signs to furnish them with styles,
but when World War II stopped
the "toiles" coming in from
France, and dressmakers had
nothing to copy. American clothes
started to become popular. Even
so, the main bulk of the dress
making in Cuba is custom made.

Isabel, Nelly, a newcomer who
started just five years ago, and
Emilio Bernabeau, who has been
designing clothes there for the
past Is years.

It is now the fashion to wear
these coins, particularly the Philip

Hats are seldom worn by the
women in Havana--usually only
for afternoon parties, perhaps a
fashionable luncheon, seldom for
cocktails, and never for evening.
Women have started wearing

white cotton shirt formerly only
worn by people in the country

years has been adopted for city

The quickest way to increase
your alters glamour is by your

or normal. brush 1t until every
strand Is separated. Then rub a
sparing amount Of pomade or
brilliantine between your palms
and work 1T well into your scalp
with your finger tips. Next, shine
the surface lengths of hair with
your palms, as If you were polish
ing a table. Now, with as few
strokes and as little fussing as
possible, brush your waves and
curls into place.
Is your hair oily? Using O clean
piece Of cotton, rub your scalp
with one of the new hair fresh
eners or a tonic for your type of
hair. Lacking either of these, use
Ia light cologne. Be careful not to
|disarrange your hair more than
absolutely necessary. Try to avoid
