VAN.
An otherwise modest woman will
boast Of the havoc water wreaks with
her hair; and an otherwise modest
man boasts that his neck is so tender
and his beard so tough he can't bear
to let barber shave him.
Also, it is the habit of otherwise
| modest persons to boast of the rapid
ity with which they wear out shoes.

Our hope is that paper suits become
so popular, and that the magazines and
newspapers print such enormous edi-

too costly to use.

The Diary of Our Own Samuel Pepys
September 15-Up early, and very
weary, to my Office, and there all day
and stopped by at the doctors for my
wife, her throat being still sore, and
SO to S. Spaeth's, and we had dinner
and played at cards for an hour, and
won SIS; and 80 home, and to bed.
16-To the office, and at my scriven-
ing, but distrait over the great explo-
sion, which killed moro than 80 per
sons; and how it happened nobody yet
knoweth Finished my stint, without
any zest soever, and to Mistress Ncy-
sa's, and found there Mistress Ethel
Barrymore the play actress, who talked
of this and that with deep and charm
ing wisdom. So home, and brought in
some smoked salmon and stuffed
tomato for my dinner, my wife too i'll
to take any joy at the table. In the
evening A. Samuels come, and played
some musick, and so to bed, reading in
"The Strangeness Of Noel Carton" by
William Caine, and so interesting |
hated to lay it down, but my wife
could not sleep with the light shining,
so | put by the book, but thought
about it till morning.
17-Up betimes, and G. Parsons
came to play tennis, so to the courts,
and he trounced me sets, my best
being of no avail. To the office with
him in my pctro!waggon, and there
all day, working with no interruption
save that by j. Montague, who stopped
only few minutes, and / having so
much work to do, and disliking so to
do it, was loath to have him go. All
the talk is that Mr.. Harding is certain
of election. Payed out hy. income tax
last Wednesday, and still have $22 in
bank, for which l thank Heaven.
Again regarding the Chase and the
Quarry, K. @. cites Wordsworth:
Still to be strenuous for the bright
reward
Great is the glory, for the strife is
hard.
And Sponsors "The Shepherds Cal
endar": the praise is better
than the price.
ut is not correct" says the Good
Manners department of The Brooklyn
Eagle, "to sit with his feet on his
knee" Perhaps not, but it's good
exercise.
Among the conventions now assem-
bling in our growing city is hat Of
the Grand Household of Ruth. You
expouhd it, palm leaf; we're fan.
The Contribs' Dinner is only about
four months away. At present, the
leader in the contest for the 1920
watch is G. S. B.
