~ ONSIDER the Clam. my daughter
study its ways and grow wise.
Behold, the Clam hath nc
pulchritude of which to boast itself,
neither is it adorned in joyous raiment
nor hath 1T willowy figure with which
to ensnare the eye of man. yet. 10! II
cometh first on the menu and leadeth
the feast.
What then, my daughter. is the
charm with which the clam conjureth,
and that whetteth the appetite so that
all men desireth it. and wearieth not
of it?
Hearken, my daughter. and I will
whisper the secret into thine ear. The
fascination of the Clam is that it keep
eth its mouth shut, and talketh not
too much.
Let this teach thee the value of
silence, my daughter, for from the
woman who scintillateth as a CONVEX
sationalist men will fee. yes. even un-
to the uttermost parts of the earth.
but TO a quiet woman who keepeth her
tongue behind her teeth they will even
pop the question.
Be not like the foolish virgins whom
thou beholdest at ball and theaters,
who think to make themselves inter
esting to men by handing out a con-
tinuous performance Talkfest; for
while the man applaudeth such an
maiden, and giveth her the Glad Hand.
he secretly communeth with his own
soul, and to himself saith:
Not for much. for while this bah
bling brook passeth pleasant hour
for me now. and saveth me the trou-
BILE of thinking up anything to say,
yet it is borne in upon me that 1 should
wish to dam its flow shouldest it be
turned loose upon me at the hour Of
8 a. m upon my return to my habita-
tion from having engaged in a few
sportive games and contests of skill
with the young warriors Of my club.
Perpetual Motion Tongues.
without doubt, the damsei with the
perpetual motion tongue is a Merry
Companion, but, after all, one seeth so
little of his wife after he is married
that it mattereth not whether she is
gifted conyersationalist or not Bet
er were it that thy friends wife
shouldst be entertaining than thine
own.
Moreover. I have questioned many
of my brethren who. alack, have put
their necks under the matrimonial
yoke, and with one voice they say that
the talk of a wife is ever the same.
From the time that she rises UP until
she layeth down to sleep, her cry is:
Give me the Mazuma. pray thee. for
the purchase of a hobble skirt that
hath been brought in the ships from
affair." or The Hand Maiden hath given
notice and Will abide in our kitchen
no longer or Little Johnny needeth
new shoes or Rejoice with me and
strike upon the cymbals, for I have
tidings of great gladness, for my
mother with her Mutt and exc with
her Parrot cometh to spend the Sum-
mer with u.s.
$50 saith the wife. Hence will I, be-
ing a Wise Guy in my own generation
disport myself with the damsel who
worketh like a Dray Horse to be bright

how the gray veil dropped from the
