The Flutter Budgets are 4; 5n,iss
family in America They are not II -
restless as Madame, but the chaFacte1s
tics of the blood are manifest among IT,
all. They never know repose; and walIak
is worse than this, they dread il not d.
spise IT. They are immense workers
not that they do more work and hafder
than their .neighbors, but they mak6 a
great deal of fuss about it, and are alWase
at it. They rise early in the mefntsR.
and they sit up late at night; ana t1IeY
do this from years end to years =

They cannot sit still. They have anI n.
healthy impression that il is wrone -
them not to be "doing something" "a -

leisure. Mrs. Flutter Budget could -,
more sit down without her knitting wnsk
or sock to darn, in one hand, than -.
could fly. AS she has many time Is.
marked, she would die if she could nns
work. To her, and to all of her name -
character, constant action seems to - q
necessity. The craving Of the smoker -

of the opium-eater for his drug the fsssl.

unhappy without his accustomed stinnn-

truth, | believe the desire for action NY
become Just as morbid a passion Of fke
soul as that which most degrades and o..
moralizes mankind
And Mrs. flutter Budget is not tiep-
py woman; as have intimated 6szoee.
she seriously interfcres with the kppl
ness and the spiritual prosperity Of these
about her, and when she can find nothn
to do, then she worries. Those chilasea
of hers are worried nearly to death. 81.
