Substitute—Why, what was the mat¬

Editor—You said that Jim Bicker
dyke had “got a job” and that he is a
“good fellow.” Yon should have said
he “secured a lucrative position," with
the comment that he is a “genial, af¬
fable gentleman.” I’m sorry, but you’ll
have to go. You’ll never make an

among his hencoops. He noticed with
surprise that there were no chickens.

At an informal dinner an American

An Insulting Programme.
A lady’s maid who had been to t

evening was half over and in tears.
Her mistress inquired the cause.

Deferred Snowstorm.
The leading man had just appeared

It was not in response to an en¬

illuminating essays on “Rouge, Whist
and Female Beauty." He says, "The
vigils of the card table have spoiled
many a good face, and I have known
a beauty to stick to the midnight rub¬
ber till she has grown as homely ss
the queen of spades.”

sensibility is the unfolding of a child’s
mind, especially bis own child's mind.
