Show The Dixie Owl. St. George, Utah 19 a paradise for birds, with the scrawny, twisted and deserted eyesores of winter. Or compare the woman of the ball r0om, that wonderful, bewitching personification of grace, beauty and mesmerism, with the tousled, bedraggled, repulsive slattern that she appears when so unfortunate as to be seen as she bends over the wash tub. Imagine the lugubrious spectacle a dance hall filled with disproportionate, inches of nd creatures having four between waist and skirt, and calico-cla- d d shoes. Boys, imagine yourselves dancsuch with things. How unga'nly, unkempt, white-lippe- d ing many of you would jar loose from a perfectly good four-b- it piece, in order that you might have that privilege? Do you wish to see woman continue in her ways of deception and appear as beautiful as science and invention will allow, or do you wish to see her appear m the dance hall with form and color as nature made them ? Providence has been unkind to most women ; they are laboring against an adverse fate. And I, for one, wish to see them make the best of it. Girls, in closing, I would say to you : A touch with a little rouge will make the homeliest girl less homely still. Stroke with stick of crimson, 0 frowzy creature, thy lips bleached by Dixies scorching sun. Touch thy light and faded brows Avith a pencil black as night, thou craver of young manhood's heart. Paint, damsel, paint until your radient face does charm and win some manly chap, and fill with envy others who would love you too. And e charms are wondrous all, comparknow that your ed with natures scanty gift. Your smiles now catch the eyes of men and make them wish for more. O Camouflage, thou hast wiped out the cursed boundry line between those fair and not, and every little wile of thine doth crush some fretful fiend of grace. 0 Camouflage, thou oft deceiver of men, there is cunning enough in thy ways to catch and victimize all the men of the earth.
