He Did 80.
While small party Of Clevelanders were
abroad last year they CHANGED to be In an
English town Of limited attractions, and
10 was suggested that all hands attend the
theater in the evening to make up for the
disappointment Of the day. Now, one Of
the party Is gentleman Of somewhat cir.
oumscribed notions about the stage and
Its mission, and 1t was feared that he
might be little offended at the sugges.
ton. But, no; no consented to go with
great, apparent willingness, and the party
set forth.
The play Of the evening was one of those
hilarious adaptations from the French,
where staid householder Of mature years
takes night off and makes the most of II
In an atmosphere of champagne and gen.
eral revelry. As the performance pro.
crossed and the fun grew faster and more
furious the other members Of the party
looked at the man with rigid views with
considerable solicitation. How would he
take itf Would he get up and go QUIT
Might he not even rise from his seat and
denounce the performance But, no; he
sat there quietly enough, his face fixed in
look OF frozen intentions and his eyes
glazing through his speotaoles at the spec.
tacle beyond the footligbts. However else
he might regard the performance, he Ger.
tainly wasn't amused. Not ghost of a
smile crossed his face. The others might
laugh and nudge each other, but he sat
stolidly through it all to the very fall Of
the curtain.
When they were all going down the
stairs, one Of the party had the temerity
to ask him how he liked the show, and all
the others waited with hated breath to
hear his whitening denunciation.

the funniest thing ever saw in my life."
"B-but," stammered the astonished
questioner, "you didn't laugh. You didn't
even smile"
NO." answered the other, 1T didn't
laugh because I was afraid l might lose
some of it.
And the laughter that followed that
sally was far more enjoyable than any
thing the play brought forth. cleveland

WAR ON SNOBBERY.
New Society Whose Notice Is ''She
Cometh Up az u Fiower.''
New York Sun.


A Brooklyn girl says she is going to start
new society. She does not in tend doing this
because she thinks there Is a dearth of wo-
mems societies. But she has discovered an
entirely new field, quite unocccupied by wo-
meas societies or any other kind. The name
OF the new organization is to be the Parvenue
society, and the badge mushroom the mot.
TO- .She comelh up as q flower"
The members OF this VIII be allowed to
mention their fathers and mothers and may
speak occasionally of grandfather or a
grandmother, but mention OF greatgrand-
father or a great grandmother will be punish
ed by fines. No ancestors Of any degree OF
nearness may be described TO other members
unless said ancestors have been engaged in
manual labor or have been the objects OF
public charity or public punishment. Fami.
Iy records. relics, genealogical trees and
other indications of family antiquity will be
burned at the monthly meetings. People who
have proof OF the antiquity of their stock
will not be really acceptable as members, but
they will be received on condition that they
use every effort to obliterate the knowledge
that they have had ancestors.
The Brooklyn girl Is not animated by q
spirit OF envy. Nosour grapes have set her
teeth on edge. She Is eligible TO the Daugh-
ters of the Revolution, the Daughters Of the
American Revolution, the New England
Women, even 10 the Colonial DANES. The
members OF these various societies cannot
imagine, so they say, "why she talks as she
does" And then, again, there are other wo-
men who say they can.
