REALITY OF BOREDOM.
I'm

From n Pretty Signing IL Has BE-
come Ugly and Expressing.
Boredom is not what il used TO be.
Its principal difference is that it is
so much more so. For a long time IL
did not exist at all. Then it made its
entrance in the world in the shape of
vapors. Quite fiimsy things they were,
more or less artificially produced-in
fact affected by a lot of people who
did not feel them at all, but took them
up because they were novel, becoming.
and suited the reigning mode in
clothes But once boredom had made
good its entrance, how it did develop
stubborn qualities, With a deter
mination that it is shocking TO look
back upon il refused to go out of
fashion, the New York Sun says. The
instant people showed any signs Of
growing tired of it the willy parasite
changed its form and tricked people
into keeping it on From vapors il
became the blues, and Sir Richard
Burton wrote book about it, When
it had obtained this success there was
naturally no keeping it in its place
1t grew appallingly. Its size is now
unknown, but that just shows how big
it is. From pretty signing indrl-
gence harbored only by the smartest
people, it has become heavy, real, ugly,
clogging up every ones path, and such
is its present insidious subtlety that
one is nowadays bored with bore
DOM 1t does not care by what round
about way you put it so that you
are undeniably bothered by it. You
let it in under guises that even wary
you could not penetrate. Some
times you think it is your liver and
sometimes you think it is your soul
and just as you find yourself paying
serious attention to IL you notice
something a shade familiar about il,
and 10 and behold! 1t Is nothing but
that tiresome intruder. boredom 1t
is very unlikely that we will ever get
rid of It. Born Of nothing, it has by
our encouragement taken on a horrid
reality. 1t will have to be listed. but
whether as an eighth deadly sin or q
malady with attendant cures yet re-
mains to be seen.
