cause it won't look we'll not TO do as somebody
else does, not to think as they think, speak as

Must we all become parrots apng each other

ular identity, mental OF moral, of our own2
Mrs. Scrub wishes she did not have to work
SO hard, she has three grown up'' daughters,
but then 1t would not look leeH tor Miss Ame-
liz Amp to be making breadi what il Mr.. Alon-
20 Moustache should chance to call and find
Amelia in the pantry IT'S plausible she
would loose the chance of marrying into
family Of wealth and standing.
Miss Hattie Kate Scrub must not wash dish
es-the hot water will spoil her fingers for the
piano; Miss Emma Jane can not do chamber
work, and plain sewing-twould not look we'll,
and besides, tho sweeping would dust her
curls, and the sewing make her round-shoul.
dered.
Mrs. Scrub is not able to hire help, and it
will not look well to live in less SNOWY style.
1t will not look well Tor their daughters to
dress plainly and dispense with much fine
washing and ironing, and so Mrs. Scrub is
made complete slave to her family, because
1t would not look well for anybody to work,
but mother!
Mr.. George Washington Thalberg Scrub is
the only male heir to the Scrub establishment;
of course it would not look we'll for him oven
to wait upon himself, much less to get pail of
water, handful of wood, a hod of coal for
| his mother. He thinks his father ought to
keep body servant for his sole use and bene-
lit, considers himself master of the household,
and gives his orders accordingly to his mother
| and sisters
MAS. Snob wishes she did not have so much
care and perplexity with servants, wishes she
could get along without help, as Mrs. Scrub
does, but then it would not look well for her
| tn sDnn1 her tnArninus in litnlar nd
have plain dnner--no, her dinner must be
got up in style; Snob loves good dinners, and
Mrs Snob has great trial with her cook.
1t would look well for Mrs. Snob to nurse
her own child, and so she must have a nurse,
and nurse and cook sometimes quarrel.
1t would not look we'll for Mrs. Snob to tend
the door-bell, and so she must have Jenny,
and Jenny trots from morning till night, up
stairs and down, at every lady's call, till she is
cross.
1t will not look well for Mrs. Snoh TO do
PLAIN family sewing, and so she must have
seamstress, and seamstress does not like nurse,
and mopes all day. Then the family is so large
that none of the servants will do the washing
and so Betty comes to do that, and this puts
things in cooks way, and every thing goes
wrong, and Mrs. Snob really wonders why she
need have so much care and trouble, when she
has only one child and her husband to do for.
And 80 do we but then it.wonld not look well
to keep less than four servants and wash-wo-
man to do the work for one couple and ba-
by
Mrs. Dashall wishes her husband was not SO
cross, and Mr.. Dashall wishes bis wife was not
so extravaganza. To be sure, Dashall is doing
a losing business, but then his wife has worn her
seventeen dollar bonnet three months, and it
would not look we'll to wear it three months
longer. 1t would not look we'll to wear the
same thin dress she had last season, and the
shawli who ever heard of a woman's making
thin dress last two summers! Her old suit,
though scarcely soilcd, will not look we'll, and
so she must have new rig throughout, money
or no money, and Dashall may scold, that looks
well-she'll do as she pleascs, that looks welll
MIR. Blandface takes u magazine, tits full of
trash, and not an idea in it worth remembt ring
but tits very popular, all the "tip toDs'' take
