A BETTER USE
Hatpins with heads large enough to bo fitted with hinged lids and to contain a. powder pulf ari'l mirror are the latest device of a New York jeweller. If, Julia, my fond complaint Is still a little heeded, May 1 confess, without restraint, For you to cany pull's and paint Seems neither nice nor needed ? Where Nature's gifts arc so displayed JSuperiluo'.is is Art's doubtful aid. Continue, sweetest, it' you care, These giant affecting, And have about your hut and hair Th? ghastly weapons ev'rywhere And ev'ry way projecting; But for the hidden powder chest Jlay I a nobler use suggest:-' When you your hatpin-head undo Earn some poor victim's blessing— Not powder puffs, but lint for you, * An artificial eye or two, And antiseptic dressing. A first-aid outfit so designed— What fitter contents could one find? —'Manchester Guardian.'
