As I took her tapering! ' fingers, and lifted a velvet palm t?? a dimpled cheek blushing with youth-j ' ful beauty; as 1 looked into the eyes, that sparkled with more brilliance! than diamonds the sun had kissed;' ! as I stole my face in close proximity to cherry lips dripping with the ' tempting flavors of mystic sweetness;' , as I lifted her bonnet and drew the pins that let her golden tresses fall; like silken threads around marble; shoulders more shapely than those of j I the sculptured gods; as I took off her! : slippers and washed her pearl-white, feet in the laughing waters of the, bubbling brook." And the speaker closed with these words: "Ladies and gentlemen: the', question is, 'Which Is More Beauti- \ ( ful, Art or Nature.' gud 1 appeal to I] the intelligence of this audience and the justice of the judges for my decision." The verdict was "Nature." I)r. Chandler's brilliant talk closed the program. The club holds its next regular noon-time meeting Thursday at 12:45 o'clock at the Daniel Boone Hotel. ' ? ??
