JUST A MATTER OF INQUIRY.
Why Should People Entertain or Be Entertained When 1t Gives
 Them No Pleasure?

Tn periodical the other day" says dence Tribune, T ran across a picture of what had evidently been a musical entertainment or musicale-I took it to have been a musicale for choice.
 The fiddlers had gone and so had the soloist or soloists and guests. There remained in the foreground the deserted room and waste of empty chairs, along with the open grand piano.
 The hosts head was resting on his arms on table; the hostess had re- moved her shoes and was on the verge Of collapse. In the background a but Ter was looking on commiseratingly.
 Now, there's good deal of that sort of thing first and last the country over. It was true to life, but I never could understand 1t. That is. nobody has ever explained to me why people who don't enjoy entertaining or being entertained persist in making martyrs of themselves; why anybody does something for pleasure that invari- ably gives pain?
 "A person who puts himself out and wears himself out in the line of duty Is comprehensible, but why you should sacrifice yourself when you're pretending to be looking for fun is beyond me.
