Show Explained. Two friends, a weaver and a tailor, became in time enemies, bo much so that tho tailor spoke much evil of the weaver behind his back, though the weaver always spoke well of the tailor. Upon a lady asking the weaver why he always spoke so well of the tailor, who spoke so ill of him, he replied, "Madam, "Mad-am, wear both liars." "Humor of Spain." Society No Longer Vlalts. Calls having become in our busy life of great cities so perfunctory an obligation, obliga-tion, many people have seen fit to drop the attempt to make them except in cases where condolence or congratulation is in order. Thcso cases demand tha leaving of cards in person only, and so visiting for form's sake is drifting out of vogue. So well is the difficulty of accomplishing ac-complishing all one's visits understood that people of the world do not hold each other to strict account if a season passes without an interchange of cards. They simply meet somewhere and take up the thread dropped when they last met, months before, with perfect good temper. Mrs. Burton Harrison in Ladies' La-dies' Home Journal |
