In over a century and a quarter we’ve found out a good many peculiar things con- cerning the sale of whisky. One of the most peculiar of them is that men continue to drink some brand, once very good, that has now become—very bad. To understand, you must give us credit in knowing whisky conditions. Many brands of one time merit are now sold only because men don’ tknow. Habitisa forceful thing! James E. Pepper The National Whisky —in season and out of season; at every time and at all times has maintained the highest standard of quality ever Anownin the whisky business.

Batabliabed 1780 GETTING A GOOD START IN “LIFE” E PERE Rhymed Reviews The Custom of the Country (By Edith Wharton. Chas. Scribner's Sons.) 'O doubt about it, Undine Spragg Was born to be a vampire— merely That hank of hair, and bone, and rag Which Kipling mentions so severely. “The fairest of her daughters, Eve”, In face and form was scarce sub- limer, * Yet Undine was, I deeply grieve To add, a heartless social climber. And since her people placed no ban On swapping matrimonial horses, She lightly skipped from man to man By dint of serial divorces. Young Elmer Moffatt was her First. They'd hardly been a fortnight wedded Before that bond her parents burst— They thought him wild and empty- headed. Ralph Marvell was her Second Lord. She didn’t love him one iota, For, having drained his meagre hoard, She cut that knot in South Dakota. Then claimed their son, a likely lad, To blackmail Ralph, who, sick and bitter, Blew out whatever brains he had— (A nice young man, and yet a quitter.) But Undine bore up mighty well; It set her free, this sad disaster, To wed a Marquis named de Chelles In whom, too late, she found a master.

So Undine, having tried a few Impermanent connubial hitches, Re-married Elmer Moffatt, who Was simply caten up with riches. A selfish schemer, cold and small, Her looks her one redeeming fea- ture,— I can't see why these men were all In love with such a vulgar creature. Arthur Guiterman, comicbooks.com
