Has Anyone Laughed
At You
Because By bT PEEsn 3;

You are stIckIer for. detail?
Haven't people tainted you
and begged you to "cut out be-
ing so tidy, so careful, so per-
nickety and what not? Oh
friend, you are lucky to be good
on details and If you are you
will always have q job; there
are too few today who are 'in
the large" and never In the
smali things. You no doubt get
on some peoples nerves. But not
on your employers, or any ones
who gives you something to be
done. You are detailist any
how; you probably never will
be anything else; so make it
pay, as you do, probably, or you
wouldn't be being laughed at.
Yet you must remember, too,
that even this good trait can be
carried to an excess and then
you are what is called
crank! Bewarel
so
Your getaway hero Is:
Little drops of water,
Little grain of sand
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.

in use in 1893 by the feminine mem

to be translated as Ide and appears
