bureau I discovered a very excited old
lady volubly denouncing the company
because the latter had sent her stag
smoker speeches for her dinner to the
Dorcas society the day before, while
q vestryman from some place in New
Jersey was wildly indignant because a
careless preacher had included among
the sermon records for his church Mr..
Ford's more or less amiable address on
the "Cussedness of Automobiles" an
error which nobody had discovered un-
til the substitute was well under way.

the Ford speech-that is all. and that Is

And SO the thing went on, and
turned away from the revelation with
q sigh, convinced that possibly old
Gabster was right after all in his
gloomy forebodings. I don't like to
think that the time will ever come
when after dinner speaking will be SO
perfunctory as all that, but alas! 1t Is
what the Spectrophone reveals and
have no reason to doubt its accuracy.
Anyhow there is comfort in one as
pect of the case, and that Is that Wnen
our after dinner speaking is done by
machines if a speaker gets dull and
prosy it will be a comparatively easy
thing to shut him off. Under present
conditions there seems no way of, doing
this to human speaker short of as
sassination, and that appears to be
frowned upon by polite society. They
may commend the end, but somehow
of other they do not approve the means'
