THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, D THE SINFUL STYLE (By E. A. BUCHANAN) i '1 Come Devils, Come Drunkards If you want to flirt ' With the women and girls, - * And their little short skirt. Just' hug 'em and kiss 'em As much as you please, For it isn't any trouble To see above their knees. •They will bob their hair, Then talk about the style; • Show their petticoats and bloomers .Near about a half a mile. (Cover, the face with paint and powder, Cut the waist a little lower; Roll silk hose down to ankles To show the men a little more. About the time another summer, They will wear no hose at all Just a belt, in front a flapper . j So the men can see them all. . I | Be careful, men and boys, too; When one is caught they will yell, . And swear a great big pack of lies, "Then try to have you put in hell. Women and girls out on the streets Their dress above their knees Thinking they look so well; And how they are deceived. Now let's say something About the men and boys j Gazing at the girls' legs— | Most every one enjoys. i j Women and girls wear coats Partly covered with fine fur; Tell them of the sinful style They say well, I don't care. They have been warned by preachers, Now who are they going to blame; Long as they go as they are going Putting Christ to an open shame. Different kind of stockings, Spatted and striped hose Male and female wear them; They look like animal shows. Some men and boys wear breeches That only comes to the knee short, Twist around the flappers And think they are smart. Look at the style and fashion, j It has got to be a sight; You can't find a four square preach er That will tell you it is right. Young m|ji, be awful careful In picking out your wives; Don't marry a bob haired flapper— They wreck so many lives. I jYou, too, young girls ,be careful; Don't marry a drinking boy; They will give more trouble Than you possibly can enjoy.. . All the people who take and read this Will perhaps call it fun ! Expect they will find it truthful When our Lord the Saviour comes. SULPHUR SPRINGS Forest City, R-l, Dec. 12.—Rev. A. G. Melton filled his appointment at Sulphur Springs, Sunday afternoon. The B. Y.
