Hypoorites In Society.

1t amuses one to see people using
the mantle of charity not to cover the
destitute, not to hide good deed, but
to conceal a creeping intrusion into
the houses of the great and the pene-
tralia of fashionable society, which is
the only sort of society rich idlers rec
ognize. No doubt many philanthropic
movements are aware of those who
are in them for the sake of the meet
ings held in great houses, which give
to those who attend pleasing sense
of proximity to fabulous luxury. If
people have their hands full Of impor-
tant business which they cannot drop,
this ceaseless struggle to stand up
and be counted among those present
appears small. undignified, unworthy
of human beings with work to do and

The CHASTITY irony Of the words rang
through Coningsbys brain. True. he
would feel nothing, but It was not the
physical pain he feared. It was the
instantaneous fight of the soul, the
terror of nothingness when the electric

strained and stiffensd muscles taut
against the straps. What did he care
for physical pain?
