i CAY DAY,

Yesterday was Memorial Day, and a gay day it was. There were ball games, golf games, pingpong games and all the other games, including we fear, some gambling games. But we are a lively people and must be amused. Sunday is too long to be spent solemnly any more, Fast Day is Farce Day, and Memorial Day has joined the merry go- round. Whats the use of having long faces, or even stopping to think, when we can have continuous fun? This is a gay old world, excepting the region around Mont Pelee, and excepting sev- eral other spots where having fun is not just now the predominant industry. But on with the dance, let joy be un- confined Let us eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die Then all of us will be saved, according to the Universalsts, and some of us, accord ing to other "ists."
