poet this summer IS after this pattern
u assure YOU, I am not a bit more gwen
to using naughty words than these
pCe,sl.
Oh. behold the depths Of degradation in
the New York streets.
7 got me In a trolley ear, and hung, as
always. on the strap.
7 felt the smell: / said, "Oh, he'll"
And then I knew that every odOr under
the blue skies came TO me,
ASH hung on the strap OF the trolley car;
This is a good way OF from Walt
Whitman. 7 believe. IC is not DIM
cult STYLE. inasmuch as nothing need
rhyme except the naughty words, and
YOU can get no end OF things 10 rhyme
t0-well. you know where Satan lives.
Nothiug particular rhymes % heaven
EXCEPT eleven. and you can't always run
that in. out fool poetry can be run ont
by the yard and that is the way pub
fishers buy IL. The fool poet is not alto
getner the cool that he or she looks, for
once the poetry is fully arranged 1t IS
dedicated TO some other fool who buys
no end OF copies and sends them to his
friends.
Then there Is announcer IOOl-
THE BARROOM FOOL.
He hangs around first one and then
another pubac house bar until it would
seeqn as II his abiding place was Within
the sound Of the ice-piclI and the jubila-
ton Of the syphOn. He Will drink, ana
drink. and drink-at somebody else's
exDense. And he is called a popular
man and q good fellow. BY the bye, i
heard something hard on The Americans
the other day. An Englishman sal0 70
ne: II asked a fellow TO take drink
with me. and ne said he would prefer a
cigar. Now. / asked him TO take a
drink for s0ciability; I didn't invite him
10 take a. smOke-Or the price of drink,
and Ct seems 10 ne If a fellow don't
want 10 drink with you 90 be chummy
he OUGHT 10 refuse. II he asks for
something else than that which you Of
fered him, it would be just as sensible
for him 10 say that he would take q
porous plaster, or a dose Of castor oil, or
- -rrs=y~ Handkerchief. or O new scarf. or
even the quarter itself" That is where
women are ahead of men. When YOU
ask a woman TO have cup OF tea, she
either takes 10 or lets IL alone, but she
doesn't say: mo. I don't care for any
Tea. but I win take it's value in needles,
or sewing silk, or new braid for the bot
com of my skirt" The tea and the
drink both represent sOciahbihty. and
and the guest has no right 10 suggest
a substitute for what is offered as hos
pitalfty. I can imagine that anybody
reading this would count me more or
e.r-a 70
know about treats and barrOOms; my
knowledge has come from men.
Bah IS FOR TEMPERANCE.
Personally. I am a believer in temper
ance. but I think people ought 20 be
lust as temperate with their words as
with their wine. and just as temperate
in their judgments as with their tea.
Green tea. taken strong has done as
much harm. if not more, than whisky.
And yet, how good a cup of tea is-Of
GOOD tea: Of that kind OF tea that when
the hot wCter is put on II. sends up a
fragrance like THANKSGIVING: a liquid
without the crudeness Of the green tea,
and without the bitternss of the black
tea. is tea pure and simple, amber in
color. exquisite Of taste and bracing in
eject. This kind OF tea has no bad
aftsrtine And 50 many OF our pleas
ures navel IL you dance all night until
broad daylight and go home with the
girls in the morning. your head. not
vour heels. aches drcadfUlly, and the
figures in the daybOOk waltz in the
oueerest sort Of fashion. IL YOU com
rlence to play cards at 10 o'clock and
don't stop until the chimes Of the milk
man are heard. YOU are too apt 10 be
LEFT with one pink chip and no money
Tor the matinee. III You have an en-
trancing book and read until the late
night and the early morning meet, how
Dcculiar ones eyes feel the next day
II YOU eat lobster and soft shell crabs
and chicken. and asparagus, and straw
berries. that nice way IN whipped cream,
and almond cakes and a few sweets
and little more fruit. YOU Ike IL, but
OH how much better does your doctor
like It. and how rapidly does your bill
at the druggists run up. There is no
Measure fin life that is q pleasure all
the way through unless 10 is temperate
Nv taken on. ] know as well as YOU DO
that there Is always a time when We
are incorporate with everything. We
give
ALI, OUR LOVE TO ONE MAN.
when we are older and wiser. we
divide &c between that one man and
ave small babies With a better re-
-nrn Or else. we dance. prance and
NAV. and are joyfully foolish until some
d7v we are tired Of &c. And then we
GROW pOxy. If we had been more tenn
perate in our enjoyment it might have
been spread over q whole lifetime, but
We were too extravagaDt.
We gathered our roSebuds all a;
once. we took all there were. and be-
aodi we never had any fullblown roses.
And after all. they are the only ones
vTorth having. You can get at the heart
II a rose and enjoy its sweetness. III
the rosebud has heart, IL is 50 closely
covered that nobody eyed finds it out
and life is only worth getting nc the
heart Of things We men and women
hide orr hearts under fine clothes and
r9Fte speeches. but once in a while The
heart gets the better Of everything else
and we know each other as we really
are. Don't. my friend. cover your heart
M 100 closely. don't let it be smothereC
under the folds OF cOnvenslity. Let IL
live. beat and speak for itself. and We
viii be all the better for it. For heart,
are Ererarious. and when your hear
speaks ont and is its own seli, somebody
ehse's heart comes to meet it. and YOU
