artist works on when he makes man
 appear at breakfast in a dress suit
 A dress suit, just so, isn't funny. | A breakfast, just so, isn't funny. But. It's the combination that's tremen- dously amusing. | And you see there was something terribly
 incongruous to the little woman in the
 s1o.9e suit about the great lady and her
 attitude.
 The great lady didn't fit. ] She was all covered up with culture and elegance and fine clothes that didn't match the heart inside of her. Somehow 1t seemed that all the oppor-
 tunities she had had to get the good things of life didn't seem to belong with her
 mind.
 They didn't match They just made fun of It.
 But it wasn't merely funnd It was sort of too bad, too. That was where the pity came in You see the great lady didn't know what a nuisance it was to have such cramped little heart, old heart; to be so limited and bound up by her own traditions by the very fact of her class and her feeling for her own kind, that she couldn't possibly leave all of 1t outside when she went to the one place where Souls are equal.
 There's the story, but I haven't told you what to my mind is the real point of 1t. The real issue has to do with the quee- ton of when to be offended, and this is a very good rule to go by:
 When you are tempted to feel sighted just try your sense of 1umor first and, then consider the limitations of the sf- fender.
 If neither of these works then you are pretty safe to get as mad as March hare!
