Of enjoyment, yet 70 some a wordy war
OF a full hedged feud constitutes the
chief excitement of their lives.
These people always have a quarrel on

outsiders must suffer. They are quick
to take offense, both in public and
private. and have no scruples about ex-
pressing themselves ON paper when they
haven'ta chance to do so verbally. 1t is
this penchant for writing letters that

are decided evidence against them even
after their anger has had time to cool.
Now, il there were any sense In this
sort Of conduct, there would be some exs
cuse for it, but there isn't, and. more
over, il makes you doubly unhappy to be
always on the outs with some one. You
may pretend not to care, but you do just
the same, and though pride and temper
keep your spirits up for time in your
secret heart you wish you had not been
