his time does he spend in loafng on the street COR
ner and gossping about this pretty girl exclaim-
ing over that homeiy one?
How many evenings in a week does he spend at
the opera ut q skating rink, and how many
times in the two months away did he miss a meal
on account of press of businessg And yet he was
too busy TO write n single letter.
Our professor at school used to tell us that five
were busy ourselves we would not have time TO
see how much our neighbors idled.
How il is Mr. Noble has found time for such
wide observation-disclosures that does not ex-
tend TO the weakness of his own sex. He conpi-
ments BESSIE Miller just because she acknowledges
that some girls do little or work and call HIM
unjust because he will not acknowledge that the
same falling exists among the boys, whose hearts
almost break if their poor, tired mother ask Tor
stick of wood or bucket of coal. KNOW boy
who thinks it's beneath his dignity TO work, but
has never thought il a disgrace TO allow his mother
to wash tor living and his sister to sew until her
health fIiled and now sleeps the sleep that knows
no waking. | also know of another boy VINO IN
stead OF supporting his widowed mother and cheer
ing her declining years, adds to her burden by
squandering the money she earns IN strong Drink
Now Mr.. Noble, be up to the standard of your
name, and own that among the girls there are good
workers and brave women; that even among the
lords of creation" las they love to be calied),
spend much time over waxing their mustaclies
and parting their hair in the middle, as girls do in
crimpng their bangs If you can prove to the con,
trary, we will candidly acknowledge the proof ana
give you the palm. And now, think, poor Mr..
Noble has received ell the attention he deserves.
Let's change the subject-Glynora.
