Rhymed Reviews Diane of the Green Van (By Leona Dalrymple. The Reilly & Britton Co.) IANE possessed all kinds of tin; She might have had a flock of motors, But used a van to travel in! (And still these women would be voters!) A gipsy van all painted green Conveyed the wander-footed lassie Along the bowered roads between Connecticut and Tallahassee, While, rolling after, brave and gay, Her knight when aught of ill as- sailed her, Enthroned upon a load of hay The snubbed yet loving Philip trailed her, For Danger lowered near: You see, This girl who had the roving mania Was secretly believed to be The Future Queen of proud Hou- dania ; And wicked, black-browed Ronador, The Heir-Apparent, watched and waited To find a chance to shoot her, or To have the girl assassinated. But Ronador, the naughty Prince, Succumbed to sweet Diane's perfec- tion, And slandered faithful Phili He feared lest Phil was Di's selec- tion. Then Di was prey to Darksome Doubt And Phil became the watchful waiter. But by and by the truth came out And Ronador was proved a traitor. And Di was not a Queen at all, And all the Bad, their lunges parricd, Reformed and owned their grievous fall, And all the Noble Folks were mar- ried. ‘Twas quite a job to get this thread Of major action disentangled ; I can’t remember when I've read A tale so wild and badly mangled, — And yet it won a golden purse! Ten thousand dollars!—Sad__pe- rusers, Just think! five hundred books were worse !— Thank God, we needn't read the losers! Arthur Guiterman, Face Charm The outline of the features does not in itself constitute the chief charm of a face, It is the ‘something more’ that is made up of expression, grace, color and complex- ion, that gives the true distinctive note. The tone of the face is almost exclu- sively a matter of the complexion; and it is in the cult of the complexion that Pears’ Soap holds the position of preeminence in every part of the world. It has done more for the spread of face charm than any other known agent. The most celebrated beauties of the last hundred and twenty years have testified to its matchless power in preserving and improving the complexion, and the skin specialists have said the same. The charm of a beautiful complexion is the natural result of the use of Pears, which surpasses all other soaps in skin= beautifying properties and economy.
