John Panton found himself longing to
sink his fingers in Alistair's f1eshy

of such a balancing of one sided ac-

Ohm. Fanny Aristocxuts

There are men and women in this land OF the
free and the cradle Of equality who refuse to
ciate with any one who works for living.
Some of them have magnificent club down in
Florida, the refuge of the Ponzis and others who
want money without work.
1t is a beautiful club with servants whose uni
forms would have delighted the Kaiser in his days
of pomp and members with snobbshness which
would any British duke to envy.
One of the fixed laws of that club is that no
may bring a guest any person who actually
works for living
Every one must have record of never having
done anything difficult than clip coupons from
bonds inherited from shrewd ancestor telephon-
ing rent collector to bring up another bunch Of
dough.
They refuse to be contaminated by any asso-
citation with useful persons They insist setting
up a standard for American arstocracy, rather
queer term for republic, but these are queer
Americans if most of their ancestors have been
here for several generations
Should the chorus girls who were admitted to
that club the other evening feel flattered in
suited? For the first time in the history of this
club, the bars went down the pay envelope
brigade and a group Of very pretty young women
experts at the Charleston, invited regular
guests to mingle with the young men and women who
are being taught that all work is disgraceful.
Take the word of any of the young who
grace the footlights background or forefront Of
musical comedy, and she works.
She will tell you, and will the managers of
these shows, that the girl who earns her living in
that manner has no life of ease.
Just why it is less disgraceful to earn living
by dancing than it is by pounding a typewriter or
carrying tray in restaurant is beyond explana,
ton to most Americans who have an idea that any
work is respectable and that the only disgrace is
refusal to work.
They look upon the bunch that draws a social
line against useful beings loafers, if they
do have money in bales
They detect striking similarity between the
rules of this club and those of the hoboes union
which throws out any bum who lifts his finger to
neal
There is joke in this discrimination in favor
of chorus girls somewhere it is probably upon the
aristocrats and not the dancing maids. And the
funniest part of it all is that these unAmerican
snobs do not know exactly how funny they are.
Hound dogs sit around and howl at the moon.
but calamity howlers sit around and howl nothing
The weather seems to be perfect only during those
months having ~ in them.
Many-a standing in front of shop win
dow has merely stopped to reflect.
