Cordwood and Percy grew gray as they
painted about the boat trying to make every
body love everybody else.
In Jackrabbit, variations of wealth had not
been so initatingly evident. But jammed
together on shipboard, the women without
single evening frock hated and gabbled about
the women with one evening frock, and the
women with one evening frock abominated
and rebuked the women with whole ward
robe; and as to Mrs Scallion. who had
diamond bracelet and let you know it, the
entire feminine party became violently social
istic. They were jealous of people who had
better staterooms, and people who had the
ilandsomest stewards and people who had got
ahead of them in drawing the best detective
stories out of the library. In fact, the whole
Joyous journey to enchantment was just one
orgy of sitting and hating.
They had all forgotten that on the train
Cordwood had taken an upper BERTH and now
they were very bitter about his occupancy of
the Royal Suite. "WeH do think he might
have made some effort to look after his guests
before he took care of his otun selfish desires"
said lady to lovely lady.
What made it worse was that the selfish
millionaire and - could you beat it - his
housekeeper, Sister Tinkerbun, and that
stuck-up New England school-teacher, May

Oh, Sylvester!
The pilgrims had lived in scattered houses
in Jackrabbit; they had been together for but
two days on the train. 1t was only when they
were inescapably at sea that they had
chance to examine and hate one another.
They divided swiftly and sharply into four
groups: they who were not going to let any
thing interfere with drinking and quartettes;
they who had read book but still liked
drink; they who were so determined to hogtie
Culture and bring it back that they frowned
on all dissipation; they who liked neither
Culture nor Booze nor anything else in par

only for the pleasure of concentrated dis
approval of everything. And none in any of
these four could endure the others. CrievOusy

history have been so savagely dramatic as the
