And yet, now that the Chicago waiters are oil strike, we do not see the hungry hoarders teetering around Singing Mr. Heywood Oh, Happy Day! On the contrary, they seem to hare a kindly feeling for the man that ha", no clean shirt, sort of a compact, as It were! As for us, we dont believe a man can be happy without a shirt, Mr. Heywood to the contrary notwithstanding. There is something about a shirt that sort of makes a man feel at home in female society. We have seen, ere now, a mick In a red undershirt, cut low at the neck, leading his girl toward the circus lemonade, with an utter forgetfulness of self, and a g tree that would do credit to Uncle Tom In the garden scene salaaming to Eva. Take away that shirt! Whore la your Irishman then? Yes, sir; a shirt counts considerable. If a man were happier without a shirt there would never have been a woman In poverty, hunger and dirt, who sang with a voice of dolorous pitch the Song of the Slilrt. There would never have been a palp martyr In his shirt of fire, or a collar button to fall down the small of ones back and. roll down, down to the uttermost dregs of a man. All this we have suffered because we are not happy without a shirt, and a clean one at that! Some men go through life with & big stick, but they do not follow President Roosevelts advice to speak softly. They are remembered after death, not for their virtues, but by the scars and lcouoclasm of their ungentle natures. Herbert speaking of . the bee, says: ' Bees work tor man, and yet they never bruise Their Muster's flower, but leave it bav ing done, As fair as ever and as fit to use; So both the flower doth stay and honey run." .What a lesson of gentleness and purity is here for men. The world is bis flower garden and he may pass through it like the bee, sipping Us sweets, leaving It chaste behind him , as he travels, or he may carry a big stick and devastate the blossom as he passes to eternity. 'Will you work ior man and yet never bruise the Masters flower, or will you live a life of selfishness and injury to your fellowman? beautin!? The and exalted cause of gallantry bas had a jar.

Just before the time for the arrival of your guests, put your right hand in a sling and receive them in that way. Have a sling ready, for each guest, so dhat his or her right hand may be Imprisoned on arrival. A strip pf any kind of soft cloth will do for the sling, but it would add much to the effect if you would select bright colors. . When all your guests have arrived amusements. you begin your These amusements may be of various kinds. First, provide a sheet of paper and a pencil for each guest, and have him write a certain sentence with his left hand. They should all write the same sentence, and when It is done gather the papers and award a prize to the ope that has done the best Then tack a broad sheet of white paper to the vail, and have each guest draw a picture of an animal on it, using colored crayons. For this a prize may be offered, too. If your party is held in the daytime you may have much amusement by playing outdoor games with the lert hand, say, croquet or throwing ball3 at a mark or pitching quoits. There are mary ways In which the sport may be varied, and the awkward efforts made with the left hand will give the players more enjoyment than any gaire played In the ordinary way. When the sport is over ask your guests to tie refreshment table, and there the fun will be renewed, for they must rely wholly on the left hand to help them In eating.
