see there Is a picter here in the paper
of very pritty CURL that is the grand
daughter OF the king, sed Ma Her naim
is Daphne. Daphne F1tz-George, & she
says that American men are too busy &
that thay doant deevoat enuff time to
social affairs.
How interesting, sed Pa. / suppoas the
American bizness men will feel properly
called down, now that Daphne has had
her say. If thare is anybody that has a
license to tell lot of clever grown-up
men WHARF to get off. it is a slip of a
CURL that happens to have a king for a.
grand-dad.
She must be intelligent, the way this
picter looks, sed. Ma. She has a high
forehead.
SO has a grasshopper. sed Pa. or a
COW. That isen't any proof. 1t Is RELY
TOO bad about American men not attend
ing to social affairs. sed Pa I newer
was to many social afafirs. Pa sed, but
the Kind OF American men that I saw at
the Few / went to. he sed, kind of gave
me the noshun that / was moar of a
Fellow then them somehow. I'll bet

Gums here to tell men how to spend thare
time. Can you beat it?
You doan't need to git so worked up
oaVer II, dearest, sed Ma, 1 doan't sun
poas that anything she has sed is likely
TO change yure plans or the plans OF any
other american man. AS a matter of
TACK, sed Ma, / think our business men
devote too much time II anything. To
social affairs. but too many OF thare
social affairs is held near what is known

times I git out of pashuns with certine
peepul. think American men are over
doing the social thing even now. as things
are. have been reading about brokers q
bankers closing up thare offices half n
hour erlier so they can go up town a
join hands at sum tango tea II that isent
deevoting time to social affairs | doant

form of insanity. 1 doant know what

a theetar or a tango party every mite
for week, & Jones certingly looked the
part. Did you motifs the tired look of him.

run things he wud put the crusher on a
lot OF the tangoing. but he Jest lets things
slide q sum day the slide will become a
avalanche. & then thare hoam viii be
swept under.
