COMMUNICATED BY "OLD TRIM"

"Now, old Trim I am jealous of that
self same Amy you are so complimentary
to. Who is she, pray, that you should pass
Beatrice and me by, tor herr" Now. if
any person who has any sense at ALL can
see any good reason for jealousy, they have
keener vision than "Old Trim" We will
write, right here, for the edifcation of
Practical" that we are not much in the
habit Of complimenting ladies, whose
chief business it is to find fault. Had we
known that your sensibilities lay 50 close
to the surface, we should have avoided
riling you so territically. When we com.
plimcnted Amy we did it from sheer
love OF her taste for nice things. We are
sorry we said word that caused you 70
turn your heart inside out We beg of YOU
don't do so any more, for we don't like to
see such bitterness spread out on paper.
AS to your pet topic"-femalc emancipa-
tion-"Old Trim has but little to say. If
you want to vote, he is willing you shall.
II you want to go to Congress, he is will
ing you shall go. 1t is not presumable
that you wish to be a soldier but if YOU do,
our opinion is you had better not enlist
better stay in bondage awhile Longer.
We confess, that we are not over stocked
with sense, but cannot see that we have
shown any idiocyin complimenting Amy"
Practical says, "she is woman's rights wo-
man, and asks Old Trim, if he is in love
with her" This is tough question, and we
must confess that it is poser. But our
answer must be yes. But must have the
privilege, to deny being in love with the
style OF writing she adopts
But we are not in the fight, for or against,
"woman's rights" as the term applies. We
like to concede every thing possible, that is
reasonable to the women. Now; "Prac.
teal, I'VE leave this subject, for you, Amy"
and Beatrice" to "spat" over, hoping that
the green.eyed monster jealousy, that our
compliment to "Amy" aroused, may die u
speedy death, and that you, will soon be
yourself again, and be permitted to vote
for President In $780, There now, don't
you see Old Trim is in favor of woman's
rights, so far as voting is concerned, and
is in favor of all--who wish--,.dopting the
the latest style in dress, hats not excepted
We take our leave, of you, Practical, by
handing you over entirely to Amy and Be-
atrice, and giving you little seasonable
advice. For conscience sake, don't be
jealous Of Amy" but quit grumbling and
don't be so sour. Remember it's spring
