Madam Divorce was queen of the revels, and when she saw the School Fad and Servant Problem she started to grab them and make them join in the festivities, but they held back. “We have a great scheme on hand. You must come along with us into the Great Beyond, just over that hill.” So, after some persuasion, they all went along together. The Tango led the way to the music of a ragtime hand contributed by the Village Im- provement Society, and they traveled and they traveled. They went by beau- tiful lakes, patriotic statues and. sky- scrapers, and finally they came to a Country. “Hello,” said the Country; “ what do you mean? You look as if you were in some kind of mischief.” “Not at all,” said the Scarehead, grouping his companions around him. “You're the country we are living in, aren't you?” “Yes,” replied the Country, “I am the one you are living in. What are you up to now?” At this they all gathered around the Country in a circle. Madam Divorce wore her most insinuating smile. The Drama immediately began to dig up the dirt. The State Legislature, for want of anything better, playfully bribed himself, while the White Slave, the Servant Problem and the Slit Skirt all began to dance the turkey-trot. “What do you propose to do?” said the Country. “Ladies and gentlemen will please come to order,” said the Scarehead. “Now, here are the facts, We have a civic impulse. We have all of us agreed that we must save something. What do you think of the idea of sav- ing you?” “Splendid thing,” said the Country, “Gf you think it can be done. What would you suggest?” At this the Editorial Page, who had heen asleep up to this moment, woke up and said: “You ought to know best how to be saved. Just tell us what you think we had better do. You know we may never have an impulse like this again, They say even the worst characters in the world have something good in them. Now is the time. Speak up, old Country, while we ar the mood and tell us what to do.” “Mean it?” asked the Country. Yes, yes!” “Will you do anything I say?” “Absolutely anything. Makes no difference what it is. For once in our lives we are going to keep our word.” The Country began to blush, “My friends,” she said, “the fact is er—don't want to be saved.” What! Not want to be save: “No; to be perfectly honest, I am so used to having you around that J really couldn't get on without you.” (Finis) The Finest Resort Hotel ‘In the World Has been built at Sunset | Mountain, Asheville, N.
