Sounds From the Rag Bag A Silken Slipper . . . And to come "to this after serving her so faithfully! AIm! the ingratitude of the debutante! Does she remember that it was I whom his lordship touched under the table with his artful boot? Was it not my slender enticings,my coquettish peepings," my flying flirtations during tho waltz, that settled the matter in his lordship's heart? Alas! look at mo now! Yester day the cause of many a heart burn, many a sigh, many a prying glance, many a gloating look; today a compan ion of ruin, of dishonor, of holiday de bris, awaiting nay, not the regal wedding bells, but the ragman's cry, heaving me to a plico of worse igno miny and shame. Put not your trust in debutantes! . . . A Single Glove . . . And then he gets into a cab after her. It is not many minutes before I felt myself squeezed; and, though my mistress was reluctant, swallowed up in his mighty palm, what could 1 do. I just lay there throbbing, and listened. What a blessed thing for her husband and his wife that I can't prattle! Why, my little palm full of gossip would hit society like a cy clone. And yet here I am, rag-bagged like a cast off remnant, my brother folded up and concealed within the bosom of the man who covers it nightly with kisses of adoration, while I suffer the living death of the damned.

What is the use of trying to be exciting, entertain ing and agreeable, anyway, if this is the finis? Why, I have been passed sub rosa through dormitories of young ladiesschools. with pettidgs and snug berths in perfumed depths of lace and soft silks, till I thought me one of the most favored of earth. Alas! could the genius of Eros have seen my uu Cimely end in this pit of plagues, he would have protested to heaven, even as I do now . . . A Stray Mistletoe Leaf . . .And her mother saw it. too, so now there is a breach of promise case on, all on ac count of me. She wasa cute one, was Madge; and when old Goldust fell into the trap, and she melted upon his bosom, I knew there would be either an old man's darling love affair or a suit at couit. How-often have I told rich old bachelors not to monkey with the mistle toe? And yet whai good hascomeof it? Here I am, a rag of the Christmas feast, and for all my efforts to please cast into a rag -bag, while my brothers on the same bough go to thn ash barrel, and all our homilies and warnings are as naught For shame!
