1t is about time to go down to your
Uncle Isaac and take that overcoat out
of soak, and a pair of good rubbers will
come very handy, too; and, by the way,
what have you been doing with all that
money you made last summer. When
you rise in the morning and for the first
time in the season see the beautiful upon
the ground and in the air, these things
are all brought to mind.

The constant strain to be funny that
some young people make when in COM
pany, is extremely tiresome. Opportunc
remarks, quick repartee-anything that
keeps the company or its metal, is appro-
pirate. Butthe effort to say funny things
that keep the room in a litter is not only
not in good taste, but extremely fatigu-
ing to those who have to listen to it. The
kind of fun that breaks out in a ripple
around the room, when it is varied by
intervals of more serious talk, is alway S
a relief and brightens everyone up. But
constant litter and giggle, with subdued
horse-laugh for the bass, is WEAKNESS to
the flesh and people Of good breeding do
not indulge in it.
