Then, I turned and prayed in my heart, saying: O Lord, let not my beloved fall ill among these Love-Pirates in An- gel's.Clothing: For if a strong man cannot resist them, how shall a Weak one escape? I Nay, east my beloved among the moving-picture vampires, and let him face the dangers of the beauty chorus, if must be. But let him not be carried into a hospital, to be devoured by one of these. For what chance have I, a Mere Woman, beside them: Go to: A vampire is only a vampire but a T ' , rained Nurse is a bundle of mystery, Wrapped in modesty, covered with gentleness, and all wound up in a man's imagination.

Yet my beloved turned his head away and yawned wearily, saying: Heigh-ho: their charms are as well advertised as a January bargain sale. Yea they are as obvious as a vaudeville joke, whereof there is nothing left to the imagination. Go to: They bore me beyond endurance. And my heart rejoiced mightily, and I was content in my vanity. I I I led my beloved to a Tea Dance. And he observed the damsels shimmying, and .wasconfused bythe come-hither glances which they cast upon him. Yet he regarded them coldly, saying: Heigh-ho, their gowns are as short as their fund of ideas, and their ways are as frank and unalluring as their ankles. They have no subtilityf, I And again I rejoiced in mine own safety and sovereignity. I led my beloved among the debutantes of the ball-room. And the damsels who fluttered about him were sweet with spikenard and myrrh and Boquet d'Amour. Their locks glistened with Brilliantine and their smiles were brighter than an only child before company. ' Yet he regarded them scornfully, saying: What fools these yearlings be: For lo, their frocks arelower than average intelligence and their draperies are as transparent as their wiles, lead me from themere I' perish of ennui. And my vanity was puffed up, and I said in my heart,. None can lure him from me. Yet it came to pass, that I led my -beloved into a great hospital, bear- ing burnt offering and flowers and sympathy for the sick. And behold, when I caught his eyes, they were following the sirens, and saw me not: g For the sirens were clad in white linen and modesty, and caps and aprons and uniforms. Lo, they walked upon heels of velvet and cooed in voices of silver. They had doves eyes: they were gentler than fauns, and milder than nuns, and more mysterious than widows. Page One Hundred Sixteen

You can't imagine what's happened to me. Well I'll tell you, yes I will, I'm so gosh-darned mad I'm gonna squeal, I'll tell you in a few words that don't rime But it's because I haven't much the time. Last night when I was sleepin', I woke up feeling creepy, Then I heard a crying sound somewhere in the house Sounded funny, kinda scared me, thought Id better look around. In the hall stood C. D. Schaeier and my Dad Both looking kinda glad about something. When Dr. Schaeffer spied me, he just sorta grinned and guyed me, ' Asked me, Wass is los ? Dad seemed glad, but I was mad When the nurse showed me what they brot us To my disgust, it really wasn't much, Only a Baby Girl. I D'you blame me a lot for being sore? Just was over to see Bud Murray, But I left somewhat in a hurry. Found out he had more trouble than me. Gee whiz, he sure is wild as he can be. Dirty Irish trick, he told me, and I agree.
