II woman has d pet reform hobby,
let her ride it and be happy. But let
her try it well on herself first to as
certain whether it perfect her own soul
and body before she attempts to force
it on other people.
Mrs. Old Hyson is a reformer who is
a tea drunkard. Twelve cups of the
strongest is her daily portion. She
stands upon the platform preaching
knowingly the glory and beauty, like
wise economy, of her reform. Then
she collapses till she swallows three
cups Of tea resembling concentrated
lye as to strength. This sets her nerves
on edge and keys up her temper to
hurricane pitch. She rows the maid
who takes care of her room and drives
her out in tears. It being a hotel, the
girl dare not retaliate. Thus is the
maid not only insulted, but deprived of
woman's dearest privilege, that of talk
ing back.
II a sister woman wear a gown cut
low in the neck at an evening recep-
ton, Mrs. Old Hyson attacks her in
newspapers, denouncing her as cor
rupter of public morals. Whatever rubs
against the tea drunkard's prejudices
is Of the evil one. These prejudices are
of the narrowest and most fanatical
because Mrs. Old Hyson has always
been so dead sure she was right to
start and everything opposed to her
