This is the ex- planation of the fact that such delicate things as the dinosaurs, eggs were found here."

THE BEAUTY BOX.

BY BERTON BRALEY.

The girl of to-day.

With her vanity case. Keeps working away,

Reconstructing her face. While coffee the sips,

Ere to labor she goes.

She lipsticks her lips.

"And she powders her cree,

In office or shrp.

From maming till night.

She'll frequently stop

To set her face right;

And when out she -kips.

With her various beaux,

She lip-tick her lips

And she powders her wise.

In good luck or ill

And whatever fate brings.

Unfailingly still

To this habit she clings.

When joy's in eclipse.

Or when happiness glows.

She lip-sticks her lip

And she powders her muse.

If life proves too rough,

She will smooth it again With rouge and with puff.

And I'll wager that when

Past Peter she slips,

Where the pearly gate shows, She'll lip-stick her lips

And she'll powder her nose,
