¢ d Musical Tragedy N oboe met a tall bassoon In some band-concert oppor- tune. Her mood was merry and elate, While he was solemn and sedate. She frolicked near the higher C But he was pitched in lower key. So while she trilled “Tra la la lu” He mumbled deeply — “VERY TRUE.” The oboe and the tall bassoon Strolled side by side beneath the moon, And all her airy thoughts found vent To his profound accompaniment. Yet with a tribute in her eyes She waited for his deep replies :— How very much a man must know Who only says, “AHEM—QUITE so.” She little knew, beneath the moon, The state of mind of this bassoon— In what a yearnful, groping way He sought for something else to say. For in his soul he wished that he Could sing “Tra la” and “Tu ra le.” Yet still he growled, the evening through, “Quire so,” “INDEED” and “VERY TRUE.” B. J. Can’t lose it!

Now that the indoor season is upon us, everybody should in- sist upon getting plenty of good, fresh air. On entering his home in the evening every man should make a habit of throwing the sitting-room windows wide open and shutting off the heat. In this way he can improve the health of his family and bring to a diverting close any bridge or club meeting that might be in session with his wife. In cold weather it is very easy to eat too much. A very simple way to guard against this is to confine one’s dining to the larger and more fashionable hotels. If this does not suffice, try taking luncheon on dining cars regularly and let your wife do the ordering. To protect oneself from disease in cold weather it is important to get plenty of sound, refreshing sleep. This cannot be insisted upon too strongly. If after a thorough trial one finds it impossible to sleep much to do some sleeping at night. It is hardly necessary to add that if the dimensions of the apartment permit, sleep should be taken in a recumbent Position. Lots of wholesome exercise is es- sential. Horseback riding is ideal. If this is not available a number of the smaller automobiles will exercise practically the same muscles, al- though not without a certain risk to the vertebra. McC. H. ! comicbooks.com
