walk among our prejudices on tiptoe.
they take OF their hats TO our bigotry
If we call II religion; they accept our
squeanishness for refinement; and
they grow gray before they discover
that with certain women fit OF tears
means no more than fit OF profanity
from some men. They surely are pa.
tient in their own way. But neither
can 1t b. denied that In their choice
of friends they are sometimes stupid
to heart-rendng degree.
In the main, an Anglo Saxon's mans
