See those girls below, looking all coy and harmless?

Well, they're not. They're cooking up a plot to show everybody what a weakling modern man is.

Weakling - that's the word . . .

It's all part of a show they're putting on at the Hawthorn Town Hall tonight to raise funds for the Toorak Teachers' College.

Meet, from left to light, Bronwen Jones,

V.U Kium.es, .inn .iiL-i'L'

dilli Ousley.

Now part of this .show is a thing called "the pageant of lo\c."

It will start way back in the caveman days, when men were men,

and - von know: Clubs and pursuits and drajrging off victims by the bair, and all thal.

And so it will come to those wonderful, senile days of Sir Waller Ral-eigh - sonnets, seren-ades, and brave men dying at the point of a sword, all because some woman with blue eyes threw a rose from a balcony.

Love - true, magnifi-cent love.

But somewhere after Sir Waller the decline started. Something hap-pened lo men-or maybe lo women. It doesn't matter much.

The point is that this show tonight will show man as the pursued, not the pursuer.

The poor fellow hasn't got a clue. Just a bit of putty that women can twist and mould and flatten any way they

like.

Weaklings ....

My, those three women arc pretty, though.
