the activities being carried on In

lines.
One of the greatest endeavors will
be that of urging truth in publicity
and advertising. The committee will
tequire every merchant to live up
to his advertising promises and thus
creating more dependance in busi
ness transactions.

The city before you
Women . . cafes . . banks . . riches in
homes and shops . .
Take what you want
Would you be home ... or with you
sweetheart? . . .
How about those secret wishes? . . .
those half-thoughts that quiver and
jump within you ? . . .
Take all! Take all!
There was such a day! . .' I
In a great city the smartest city . . and
the wickedest . . .
No law! . . and everyone doing what he
or she wanted to . . .
They danced . . . and such dancing!
They drank . . . and such drinking.
There was passion . . but there was also
faith!
Bad women . . and beautiful but there
were good women . . even more beautiful.
Oh that mad day!
Into it . . from the country . . came
pretty Henriette Girard ...
Her little love -heart brimming with
sweetness ...
For her blind orphan sister . . for all the
world.
One man stole her . . and kissed her . . and
fell-amid wine and revelry and dancing . . .
Another kissed her . . handsomest man
of millions . . and was driven from the
city ...
The third man kissed her Dan ton, a
nation's hero . . and they threatened
his life!
Love! Laughter! Madness without
limit! ...
Would you have withstood it?
See it Feel it Tremble with it
Lose yourself in it Profit by it

shown in that enchanting and seizing
