"Io you know, George," said the
Manicure Lady, "I am gettlns so ' I
can't read nothing but poetry."
"Thnt'a one of the first signs of what
the doctors call senile senility," declared
the Head Itarber. "You are getting
woozy In the head."
"I could get a whole lot woosier in the
head and still be too bright for a com
mon gent like you to gets gay with."
said the Manicure Idy. "I think It Is
a wholo lot nicer for a human being to
set down at night and spend a hour
reading something thst was wrote by
Robert Keats or John Hums than to be
all the time reading about how many
players wish they had stuck to the Na
tional league instead of leaping to the
Federals. Goodness knows, George, it
don't take no greet Intellect to go
through a sporting page."
"Who wants a great intellect? I don't
for one." declared the Head Barber. "I
was reading about a fellow named Chat
terton that had a great intellect and
starved to death in a garret. It's funny
that his intellect didn't steer him around
to a free ltinrh somewhere."
"They didn't have free lunch In them
days," aald the Manicure Lady, "and
If they did, do you suppose a great poet
like Mister Chatterton would eat freo
lunch? roeU can t digest cold wieners,
George. Barbers can, maybe, but not
poets. (Such vulgar things as sausages
are not for singers. I should think you
would know that much."
"I seen a song writer eating llverwurrt
tne otner day." said the Head Barber
"He ate ten."
"Song writers ain't poets." said the
Manicure Lady. "All they can do is to
make every line beglti with a capital
letter. The kind of poets I mean, the
kind like Mister Cratterton, is all dead
now, and thV ones that la trying to be
like him ought to be dead.
"Oh, gee, George, how I wish I could
have been living in them brave days
when Lord Byron was fussing around
and flirting with tho girls. If his pho
tographs don't flatter him he wsa awful
handsome, and maybe he might have
dropped around to have his nails did If
I had been living then."
"Ho wouldn't have gave you no tip
like Joe Blow," said the Head Barber.
"Poets for romance and bookmakers for
tlrs, kid. You want to stop thinking
about them old-time poets and begin
thinking about marrying some nice, rich
real estate man with a million feet of
ground on Btaten Island and one foot
in the cold grave.

he loved me an awful lot," aald the
