Oh. mighty Habib Cllah Khan,
Why linger In the dark?
Do you not years to dare the stern
Policeman in the park?
Do you not crave the thrilling Joy
OF lodging trolley cars,
Or reading Sunday papers, with
Their messages from Mars?
Do you not think it would be grand
TO write things to the press:
The changing styles in dress:
If you would but be civilized
Much knowledge would you gain.
Today you cannot fight the trust,
Or even miss a train.
You cannot fool with politics,
Or wear the latest tie.
Nor does the tale historical
In bookstores smite your eye.
You have no servant question to
Make trouble in your home;
You may not jeer the brewer for
Providing too much foam.
Get busy. Habib Uliah Khan!
If YOU are civilized,
You'll find more brands of trouble than
You ever have surmiSed.

When Aunt Milly returned from her
visit TO Boston, she was a changed wo
man She had gone away a staid old
maid Of thirty seven, with never a bit
of nonsense about her. and she had re
turned flustrated-that is, she simpcred
and glggled and acted "girly." She
took to wearing bows and jewelry. and
she was anxious about her eyebrows
and the mole on her chin. Her sister
Florence, a widow and the head Of the
house, noticed these things with some
thing Ike establishment, but reserved
comment. She argued that they were
the legitimate results of a woman get
ting away from the sober influences
of her country home and that they
would soon wear off. Her daughter,
Susie Warden, was the third member
Of the household. Susie had been de
nounced as worldly by the old maid.

she was heartless All this because she
cared more about her horses than for
