She tried to transmit them to somebody
else, but though the other party may have
been infected, she was not relieved. She
endured the thing for forty eight boars be-
fore . remedy suggested itself, but the
remedy when it finally came was sure one.
1t was purely feminine affair. She believes
in homeopathy. and she resolved to try the
similia similibus plan. She basted together
rough jacket in osmbric, for wear in dust
ing about the house, and she made 1t in
stripes; there was blue "trip clip" and q
buff "trip Slip and pink "trip Slip" and
the same over and over again in it, and it
was the most hideOus garb that ever COW
cred woman's upper half. 1t was . per-
feet nightmare of colors: CHASTITY thing
to 60 about the house in. No woman Of
taste could look at it, much less wear it,
and think Of anything else. All the weird
ness Ut the stanza was gone with the first
glimpse of its materialized form, and the
garment hadn't been worn through single
sweeping before the evil spirit Of the en-
chanted lines was fully and finally exor-
cised. This is the reliable account of one
poor wOmsn's experience with Mark
Twain's miserable mental vaccine matter,
introduced in the system through the
medium OF q respectable magazine. Her
remedy will do for women to adopt, but
men must let the disease run it's full course
apparently. No fellow of any standing
can go about in colored striped breeches.-
