Show What Fannt Fern1 Used to Dn. The following is a bit of Fanny Fern's experience. "I used to believe in school friendship. friend-ship. That delusion ended when Arabella Ara-bella Triplet told mutual friends that I was years and years her senior, know-ins know-ins what a terrible fib she told. I used to suffer pangs of anger because be-cause of the woes of beggars. Since that I have seen one unstrap his leg in ail area, auu run uu gany on two legs of his own. Another threw a loaf of bread in the gutter, and I saw a third who had all day been yelling "Hease assist the blind,' carefully examining his collection of ten cent stamps by the light ofa friendly apple-woman's apple-woman's caudle. I used to put the greatest faith in lovers' vows. Now I do not believe a man rueans what he savs to a woman, unless it is something disagreeable. I used to believe in faitful servants. Since then I have hired girls from in telligence offices, and lost all my pocket handkerchief but one I used to believe in beauty. Since thuu I have seen a bewitching belle take off her hair, all her teeth, the best of her complexion, to pounds of cotton. batting and a corset." |
