THE LITTLE CONvALESCeNT.

While wishing that his aches and pains were
dead,
And health would come his way,
He tries TO make his roughly tumbled bed
A field of romp and play.
He's weary of the four white nursery walls,
And longs once more to be
As well as now he's feeling while he mauls
The patient cat il glec.
With spirits more than wild he oyeriows
Till all his pain is fed,
And head over heels along the couch he goes,
Oh stands upon his head.
He rolls upon his blocks and toys until
He is a mass of Jumps.
But he is overjoyed while with a VIII
His bulldog round him jumps.
His old green bathtdb filled unto the brim,
He gives the toys a drink
He gives the painted pasteboard ducks a swim
Until they melt and sink.
Then, like a soldier, on his trpndle bed,
Despite implorings vain,
Upon his awful drum OF gold and red
He humps with might and main.
| To catch on the rebound his rubber ball
The same he throws with vim:
II il breaks all the pictures on the wall
1t IS Just the anne 10 him
He seems much like the Indian medicine man,
Who in his mind is sure
That dircst noise is but the thing that can
Effect a certain cure.
| The only time he's still is when he sleeps
The moment that he wakes
For his tin horn and scarlet drum he leaps
And Bedl&m quickly makes
Let him discharge the shotgun II ne Will,
Il will prove he's mending quick
Only when he is very good and Still
We're sure he must be sick.

WHERE is THE GENTLE GIRL 2
Has She Been Displaced by the Aggressive
Young Business Woman:


Young Business Woman:
One hears and reads much about the
gentleman who will keep his seat in a
crowded street ear and will not spend
his vacation at the popular summer re-
sorts, but what has become of the rem
tie girl? Where are those sweet. shy
creatures who used to wear lawn
dresses and Leghorn hats. who shrank
from anything approaching the con-
%spicuous, who spoke low and sweet
who were Taught hat sarcasm was
rudeness, and that a lady smiled but
never laughed? What has become of
blushing sixteen and all those dainty,
quiet young women who would rather
''be sweet" Than smart? Has the gen.
tie girl gone with the ''huZzy.-' the
work-basket and the tatting shuttle?
The business girl is too sharp to be
agreeable. Her motto seems to be to
suspect everybody all the time. She
mas an I-know-what -you -re-up-to kind
of manner: she says How are you??"
when you come into her presence and
looks you straight in the eyes without
the glimmer of a smile or a trace of EN-
barrassment. She bosses the Office boy
and charwoman, the services of the
j~anitor are commanded. not requested,
and life from her point of view is too
short to be wasted on po~liteness. The
girls who show the least consideration
for the saleswOmen are the best GUS
toners; they have money but no man
ners. Perhaps nowhere is the incivility
and rudeness Of our young women more
remarkable than in the street cars. and
it makes little difference whether the
passengers come from college, families
in good circumstances. boarding.
schools, workshops. or shopping dis.
tricts. the faces are cross-looking, the
manner is aggressive. the voices are
shrill, the gaze is steady, and the gen.
tie girl is conspicuous by her absence.
