LINES FROM A DUB
Why can't I skate, ah, me,
Over the ice afar,
Less horizontally,
More perpendicular?
When with my skates I .frame
Figures of eight, etcet,
. Do I get wild acclaim?
No, all I get is wet!
When o'er the frigid lakes
Free as a bird I roam,
Every one present makes
Offers to help me home!
Hark to you kindly girl:
"Arnica quick he'll die!"
Hark! ambulances whirl!
Wherefore again I sigh:
"Why can't I skate, ah me,
Like any skating star,
Less horizontally,
More perpendicular?"

silk, linen or Panama cloth lend
themselves admirably to this design,

Art League of America, who originat
ed this Eton model, used Panama
cloth in the natural color and a vivid

striped silk to make the vest and
cuffs and collar.
It's really the gaudy little vest that
gives the suit its distinction and
don't omit the bag, it's quite the most
artistic touch in the entire outfit.
