Of course they are gay, Jolly, Jovial; and who would have it different? dif-ferent? The world needs brightness, lightness, light-ness, color and who supplies more of it than these everlasting, eternal, vlgllant.wlde-awakc liustlers, who flit here and there, as birds of passage, leaving a glad song In each heart and a regret at their absense? Who pay exorbitant rates at cheap hotels and never complain ? Who do turns with late and early trains and bad llery rigs? Who eat nineteen different styles of cooking each week and still survive V Who sleep In strange beds and with strange bedfellows? The Commercial Com-mercial Men !
