"I think the most dangerous ex
perience I ever had Was, not so long
ago, when it was necessary for me
to be lowered down a steep precipice
by a rope. I never thought of there
lieing any danger, because every pre

'safety.
"I had cone part of the way .down
all right when something or other, a
strange sort oi juncanny creepiness

y one strand and still a hundred

Girlie, I've noticed the flashy guy,
The one who's chasing around with
you; .
Believe me, sister, he don't get by;
You want to chuck him and sud
den, too;
He may look grand and He may talk
great,
But take .my warning and cut him
out,
For the guy who's honest and true
and straight
Don't court his girl by the high
ball route! r ! '
Then, friends of his that you've had
to meet
, Ain't just the kindthat you ought
to choose.
Fer how kin a decent girl keep sweet
In a crowd wars givea to paint
and" booze?
There-'s too much glitter.- and flash
ahd glare;
That 'duck's too much of a "good
old sfcout";
Believe me, sister, the guy who's
square
Don't court his-girl by the high-ball
route! '
You get some feller that think's
yQU're queen
And tries to keep you from any
Wrong;
This present- party is far too keen
On leadin' you off with the giddy
. throne;
The tnie-blue" feller .will treat you
white,
But not where the spigots fizz and
snout;
Believe me, sister, the guy who's
. right
Don't court his girl by the high
ball route
