With only few parties of import
peatedly asked What makes society
so dull this season." 1t may in the
past have been the bad weather, or
Lent or the election, but a man who
nothing more nor less than plain hard
times, and the inability to make the
man of the house loosen up the purse
strings to pay for things not really
needed. The demand for charities,
foreign and local, and the unusually
long winter expense has dug down into
checking accounts. A certain lawyer
wife announced to her husband a few
days ago that she intended to enter
tain for some friends and pay off some
obligations of. long standing, and that
she had as good as invited some of
her guests. Friend Husband gathered
fro rcb 6o xIyh on 70 |
about to say something particularly
and disagreeable, and
answered.: Don't you talk to me of
bridges or teas or 1uncheons. Let me
pay the coal bill and give the grocer
on account, and let me
hold off the dry goods bill that you
made for last years dresses, and then
if 1 have enough left you can begin
paying your debts
