Emotions.

Emotions are what you have when
you are all stirred up; for example,
when you are in love or when a note
which you had previously forgotten
suddenly falls due. Also, when you
think you are writing poetry and when
you are leading one who is practically
total stranger up to an altar, where,
by previous arrangement and design,
you have stationed a gentleman with
power to cause you more future trOu-
BILE than you have ever dreamed Of.
Science tells us that something cannot
come out of nothing, yet emotions
seem to do this. A calm, placid lady
whom you have known and trusted for
years will suddenly have emotions
which will create an area of disturb
ance extending for miles in all direc-
tons. Emotions are felt but not seen.
If you could see an emotion coming
with the naked eye, you might be able
to avoid it. Some men can thus avoid
emotions when they see their wives
coming, but not when they have emo
lions themselves.
Emotions are Of various kinds and
are variously expressed; New York
policeman expresses his with club,
and every dog with the end of his
tail.-Life.

that's all there is to it."
might it's because you amt &C
quainted with the Russian language
maybe" Zapp suggested. "You take
Russian ballet which amt in the
country two weeks, understand, and
naturally they couldn't even talk the
English language let alone dance it."
"Then how did the police get on
that it was immoral?" Birsky asked.
"Probably they sent policeman
there which speaks Russian" Zapp
said. They've got such fellers on the
police force, Birsky. There is even
policemen which can shake down
saloon keepers in every European Ian
guage, and Chinese and Hebrew, also,
Birsky, and besides, Birsky, what
business do you got supporting Rus
sian ballet? 1 thought you was
against the Allies"
me against the Allies?" Birsky ex-
claimed. "HOw can you say such a
thing? I've got just so many custom
ers which Is for the Allies as against
'em, Zapp-more even, and 1 am per-
fectly neuter about this here war.
Furthermore, I've been an American
sitson now going on twenty-five years,
and l think that that Oitermobile fac
tory out in Detroyit is quite right
which wouldn't give jobs except to sit
sons"
"Aber if everybody done the same
thing, Birsky, what's going to become
of the greenhorns?" Zapp asked. 1T
takes five years to get to be sitson,,
and in the meantime they must got to
starve. Is that the idee? It's like all
them advertisements you see for ex-
perienced statesmen. If every concern
done the same thing, Zapp, sales
man would got to start in as new
beginner with at least five years ex-
perience as a salesman"
"Or else lie about it," Birsky said.
"Aber you couldn't lie about being a
sitson," Zapp continued. you've got
to show the papers"
swell, maybe this here oitermobile
concern says that they wouldn't pro-
mote nobody unless he becomes sit
son." pBirsky admitted.
even so," Birsky went on, my idee
is that a Teller should become a sit
son like he gets married. He should
do it for love, because if Teller gets
married for money and his wife should
go broke, he amt going to stay faith
full to her very long, and it a Teller
becomes q sitson to get job, y'under-
stand, all such Teller needs is to lose
his job and right away he becomes a
no good American sitson. Then If
we should have to go to war and
would got enough Of them oitermobile
factory sitsons around, you wouldn't
be able to hear yourself think for the
powder mills exploding"
"That's neither here nor there"
Birsky said. There's only one way
to look at it: if Teller makes his liv-
ing in a country, he should be a sit
son."
"Is that soT Zapp retorted. "Well,
If all the Americans living In Mexico
would of taken out sitson papers
there what would Of happened to
'em?"
"The same as happened to 'em when
they didn't" Birsky said. But, any
how, Zapp, might if all the Americans
which went to Mexico would of be-
come Mexican sitsons, they would Of
Americanized the country maybe, and
instead of revolutions down there they
would now got direct primaries and

referendums and conventions and all
that stuff, and instead of bull fighting
they would got moving pictures and
vaudeville"
"Then take it the other way about"
Zapp insisted. "Supposing all the Rus
slams which comes over here becomes
sitsOns and starts in to Russianize the
country, would we be better off If in
stead of Congressman and conventions
we would got grand dukes and pO-
groms, and instead Of moving pictures
and vaudeville we would got Russian
ballets, for instancew
Russian ballets" Birsky cried.
'TphOOee"
''Then what the devil you are talking
nonsense, Birsky?" Zapp said.

IlY SEE where the police gets after
the Teller which is running the
| Russian ballet" Barnett Zapp
said as he glanced over the bill of
fare in Wasserbauer's Restaurant.
| 'Some theayter managers is very
lucky that way" Louis Birsky, the
real estater, said.
| "HOw lucky?" Zapp demanded.
| Because what the police calls bad,
looks awful good to a whole lot of peO-
pie. Yes, Zapp, all that show needs
Is for the police to call it immoral,
and couple of orchestra seats down

as two perfect matched pearls from

! could save lot of money that way"
"And was it so bad like the police
said?" Zapp asked.
"Well, I'll tell you," Birsky replied.
you wouldn't think it to look at
policeman what a delicate disposition
such Teller has got. A New York
policeman will get red over something
in a theayter which for years respect
able young fellers in the old country
has been taking their mothers to see
and neither of 'em turned hair, y
understand. Also down at COney
Island a policeman will hide his face
and holler for the police because a
lady has got on bathing suit which
if one of them actresses wore it in
'Follies' show where they walk across
plankS over the heads of the sO-called
two dollar seats, y'understand, COM
pared with the other ladies in the
show you would think she was dressed
for starting out in an open Oitermo-
bile to call on her husbands rela-
tiOnS."
'Was the show so bad like the po-
lice said?" Zapp inquired once more.
"Well, I'll tell you," Birsky repeat
ed, when the police receives a letter
that a show is immoral and they
should please look the matter up and
oblige, Zapp, they try to put them
selves in the place of the average
theayter goer; but the only thing is,
they got an idee that people which
goes most to the theayter was never
in such a place before in their lives.
In particular, when it comes to q
show like the Russian ballet where
the orchestra seats would cost five
dollars apiece at the box Office if they
was for sale there, the police thinks
that excepting the ushers everybody
in the theayter is visiting in New
York for the first time from a place
where they still got an idee that dol
tnans is the latest up-tO-the-minute de-
Eign in women's outer garments. y

Naturally people from the country

Square Deal for the Shops.

"If women had only the courage to
stop shopping when they are tired"
said a young woman the other day.
''They buy things then that they do
not and never will like and 1t is a
bother to the women and needless
expense to the shops. The goods are
inevitably returned and credited.
When shops are so decent about &C
cepting goods and crediting them it is
only fair to such establishments to
give them a square deal"

The morals of the actors and actresses.
However, Zapp, supposing that the
people which goes to see the Russian
ballet is as innocent as the police
claims, Zapp, it wouldn't make no diff
ference anyhow, because a ballet is
like the def and dumb language,
Zapp, people has got to study it for
years before they know what it means.
In fact, Zapp, if the police continues
to find this here Russian ballet is i'm
