THOSE CHARITY PARTIES.
The Projectors Always Plan Fun for
Themselves, But They Make
Trouble.

The two fair daughters of Warren
avenue household were discussing the
entertainment they proposed giving for
the benefit of a little work of charity in
which they were interested, and, as a
matter of course, the old gentleman
had to have his say.
Its an Internal nuisance" he de-
clared. THE house will be in commo-
ton for week, nothing will be thought
of but your party .and everything will
be disarranged. That night we will all
be awake till well toward morning,
and the next day those who are not
sick will go about snarling and half
asleep. 1 call it nothing but TOM
foolery."
Papa" said the eldest, 'don't you
understand that we are going to help
some of the poor and that every cent
we make will provide them with some
comfort? What you should do is to
encourage us?"
"Don't talk silly. It's a good deal
you girls care about this charitable
feature of this social combination
you're in. It's the boys and girls and
cards and dancing you want. No use
trying to pull the wool over my eyes. :"
Every well. Well try to do our
duty even if you do try to make it
hard. We, at least, have some SYM
pathy for the afflicted"
''Oh, you have? Sweetly disinter-
ested, aren't you? How much did you
take in at the last blowout"
Just $3.50" proudly.
"Well, I'll give you just S3O.5O for
the cause if you'll not infiict your CO.
workers on US. Now, how's your
charity?"
Mamma, l wish to the land you'd
come down here. Papa's acting per-
fectly awful" and she fiounced out of
the room while he laughed sardonical.
