me and scream: Don't come In here

Other delegates, in tones showing
deep emotion, gave further testimony
damaging to Sisters, and after much
discussion, it was Resolved:
That the only time a boy is allowed
in the parlor without question is when
the undertaken puts him there;
That no girl will allow her brother
TO kiss her except after he has been
thoroughly bathed, dfsinfected and fu-
migated, and then only on her fore
head, where he will kiss none Of the
powder off:
THAT the same sister puts UP no such
bars when a boy not her brother kisses
her;
That when a cake is made for com
pany, no friend a boy brings home
comes under that head;
That every boy should have a dog
so there may be one member of the
family who understands him;
That when sister has a beau, a boy
should equip himself with an auto horn,
and sound it repeatedly to give notice
of his approach:
That since boys were not born into
this world equipped with rubber tires.
they can never be entirely satisfactory,
but"
Here the familiar question In a sirFs
voice, What are those boys up to
NOW" was heard outside, and the ser-.
sion extraordinary of the Chfldrsn's

SISTERS! TO THE BAR!
TIME attendance at this Session l

tn HE attendance at this Session Ex-
'traordinary of the Children's
Congress had been limited by
President Chauncey Devere Appleton
to Men only.
There are some questions" he said
swelling with all the pride and manhood
of his seven years, that can not be dis
cussed with elaboration and impartial
lty when the weaker sex is present"
The chubby legged weaker sex slid
slowly down from high chairs and
walked out. pausing at the door to
make faces at the president, a pro-
ceedfng SO characteristically feminine
and Illogical that 1t proved the unfit
ness of that sex to participate in dis
cussions of the grave problems that
confront the world today
Sisters to the bari" Numbered the
president. Il want the brave gentle
men present to suggest some way Of
reforming our sisters
Either we must reform them. or sink
into the quiet obscurity of a mumml
fed boy. Which wins: Their nagging,
or our individuality?
How much longer will we submit to
the tyranny of the older sister in the
home? She snubs our mother; she
bluffs our father. VIII we, the hope CT
the next generation, continue to let her
step on us as II we were so many June
bugs?"
Then he took his seat and bowed his
face in his hands. The delegates sighed
in chorus. They knew the visions Of
Daysey Mayme that were passing be-
fore him and suffered with him.
