Six Months of Vanity Fair 
will Enable you to Ignite a Dinner Party 
at Fifty Yards 
D ON’T be a Social Gloom. Don’t be an intel¬ 
lectual Wet Blanket. Don’t kill the dinner 
stone dead along about the chicken okra or the 
baked sea bass. Enjoy it all the way from the 
cocktails and caviar clear through to the coffee and 
Coronas. Make others enjoy it. 
Vanity Fair will act as your pass¬ 
port to popularity. It will teach 
you how to write vers-libre on your 
shirt bosom; how to wear a tiara 
without hatpins; and how to tell 
a Newport dowager from a sea- 
lion. In short, it will keep you in touch with every¬ 
thing stimulating, novel and amusing in the brilliant 
kaleidoscope of American life. 
Vanity Fair costs 25 cents a copy—$3 a year. 
There is more joyous funmaking and mental stim¬ 
ulation in one single copy than in fourteen yards 
of Bergson or Ralph Waldo 
Emerson. Yet, if you do not 
know Vanity Fair, or would 
like to know it better, you 
may have six whole copies 
for an insignificant dollar bill.
