What Muriel Learned 
—for $2 
How a Little Bird Told Her 1,000 Secrets 
M URIEL is a this year’s 
debutante. You can see 
that for yourself by look¬ 
ing at the clever sketch 
which our artist has drawn of 
her. Muriel’s eyes are measur¬ 
ably wide open. She can usually 
find her way home in the dark. 
She knows precisely who’s who in 
New York, also what's what, and 
approximately when’s when, and 
usually how’s how. She needs no 
Baedeker, or pocket compass, or 
tufted homing pigeon to show her 
the way to the opera, to Sherry’s, 
to the best music, the prettiest 
frocks, the newest motors, the 
most amusing costume balls, and 
even the most sinister cabarets. 
New York is her oyster. She 
always carries an oyster knife 
ready to open it. The entertain¬ 
ing side of New York life is an 
open book to her. Observe her 
sunny smile, her wayward curls, 
her bold, bright eyes. The red 
wheels of the hansoms on Fifth 
Avenue are not more bright than 
are her carmine lips. The gleam¬ 
ing facade of St. Patrick's Cath¬ 
edral is not more white than is 
herpretty, powdered nose. Muriel 
is, in short, a self-starter—an in¬ 
dubitable eight-cylinder girl.

LITTLE MURIEL.THE DEBUTANTE. 
AND HER HIGHLY-TRAINED BIRD 
B UT, reader, perhaps you 
will ask: ‘Who is Muriel’s 
little Bird?” Well,that’s an 
easy one. The little bird is only a 
symbol—a symbol of knowledge, 
of wisdom, of omniscience. Its 
real name is Vanity Fail'—a mag¬ 
azine that is forever on the wing, 
that flies everywhere, that un¬ 
locks every secret, answers every 
question, solves every dilemma, 
satisfies the needs of every yearn¬ 
ing soul. It is published monthly 
at 25 cents a copy or $3 a year. It 
is a mirror of American life, orig¬ 
inal and picturesque; informal, 
personal, intimate, frivolous, un¬ 
conventional, but with a point of 
view at once wholesome, stimu¬ 
lating and refreshing. 
Take the cream of your favorite 
magazines of the theatre, sport, 
books and art. Add the sprightly 
qualities of such publications as 
The Sketch, The Tatler and La 
Vie Parisienne with something of 
Broadway and Fifth Avenue— all
