EVENING CHIT

81 RUTH CAMERON.


We were gathered in conclave as
sembled before the first open fire of
the season; we had been talking OF
many things, of shoes and ships and
sealing wax, of cabbages and kings: -
We had settled the affairs of the uni
verse and then drifted into friendly
silence as one does before an open
fire, when Molly, the little stenograph-
er lady, propounded the above ques-
Why is a bore, Molly - echoed the
authorman's wife, What silly
question: What do you mean? or is
it a joker"
The authorman's wife is very literal
minded and so frequently misses our
subtle jokes that she has acquired the
habit of defending herself from mis-
take by that question.
No, Of course it's not a joke said
Molly. It's just this. There's a man
IN our office who bores everybody to
extinction. We all do anything we
can to avoid talking with him, and vet
he ought 20 be interesting for he has
travelled around the world. Now what
L want to know is, what makes him a
bore and other people interesting
when they haven't been anywhere or
words, why is bore? I wish you'd
think of all the bores you know ana
tell me-"
The authorman's Wife still looked
as if she thought it was very silly
question but the wants-to-be cynic
took up the gauntlet.
"A bore" he stated, lis someone
who knows so much more than you
do that he makes you feel stupid"

FROM OTHER PENS
PROFANITY

Those 1000 Catholics who paraded
in silence and without music or ban
ners through the streets of New York
as a protest against profanity is
healthful sign. The chimes of the
venerable Trinity church sent forth
their sweet tones as a compliment to
the paraders. If there is anything
that is absolutely useless and foolish
it is profanity. With many people It
is a habit, contracted thoughtlessly.
and which it is most difficult to get
away from. There is not an oath, an
imprecation or any word or combina-
ton of words obligatory for which
there cannot be found an equivalent.
and even a stronger and more en-
phatic word or words in polite speech.
People swear and indulge in obscene
expression for the same reason that
an infant cries. Their limited voca bu-
larry does not permit of their giving
expression to their feelings and senti-
ments, and, in despair, they fly to ex-
travagances, under the impression
that they in this manner convey their
meaning as they can in no other way
People of every church and of no
church should join in this protest
against profanity. It is, aside from
the sin of it, an exhibition of weak
ness and inadequacy of expression
that should be humiliating-Me Memphis
