Repentance AM alone with all my wan re- I gret aoe Ab, once, when I was young, I knew the wine; {nd many the rendezvous I kept “with debt, And many the wanton did I deem divine; Went singing, singing gaily in the night, ‘And cast the gamester’s dice be- fore my vote, Splendid I strode, where splendid was the light; And never a stripling sowed a wilder oat. Jam alone with all my wan regret... Ah, what a spendthrift was I of the rs, Squandering that rich youth which must beget Out of its youth but reveries and tears. Now I am old, a prey to gout and dreams, Living the past, as ancients ever do; Sadly I muse because, at times, it seems, I may have overlooked an oat or two. James Kevin McGuinness. Pariah F course I shall have to leave town and attempt to begin all over again where my past is un- known. I cannot remain here, where my business associates eye me pity- ingly, knowing that the new sales manager, Mr. Goomis, has given me to understand that my time is up at the end of the month. And what I did seemed, at the time, so venial! My blunder occurred at a little dinner given by the sales force in honor of Mr. Goomis. All had gone pleasantly enough; Mr. Goomis, who sat at my right, seemed to take a particular interest in me. And when, in response to the general demand, be rose to “say a few words,” I sank tack contentedly enough, certainly vith no presentiment of disaster. It is true I had drunk a good deal; but my nerves were steady, I knew what I was about, and except for a slight fecling of unusual vigor, pos- sibly of daring, I was quite normal. Even now I cannot account for that fatal fan pas... T only know that when Goomis, after the usual apology for his lack of forensic ability, cleared his throat and began: ‘That reminds me of the sory of the Scotchman who took his wife for an airplane ride—now stop ne if you've heard this one——” T stopped him! L. C. Beutel. «The food on a Cunarder, Sir, is quite what one hopes to find in the best restaurants ashore « Not only absolutely fresh, sir, it is the finest that can be procured. Our markets sound like an epicure’s idea of geography. « Perfectly cooked. Our chefs de cuisine all studied under the great Escoffier, and they see that the suggestions he recently made especially for Cunard cuisine are expertly carried out. « We have been working on it for two years, sir, until now every detail of our cuisine is perfect. «You may order your favorite Paris, London or New York dish on any of our ships and be delighted with it. « Quite cosmopolitan, sir. Of course that is essential on a Cunarder in order to keep our service up to the standards of our passengers. « By the way, have you seen the new suites on the AQUITANIA? They're really large, and beautifully furnished. Rather like charm- ing rooms in country houses. In fact a few of the suites have Sun Rooms. «The ultimate touch? The Cunard has al- ways been just a little ahead, sir. « You would be delighted with your trip. The best people do prefer traveling Cunard. They particularly like our service. English stewards; and they are deft you know.» CUNARD LINE AQUITANIA +» BERENGARIA » MAURETANIA 25 Broadway - New York ® 1840-EIGHTY*SEVEN * YEARS* OF*SERVICE* 1927 EU ee UFE: Published We ‘Life Pub. 508 Madison Ave. N.
