That Gadabout, My Muse! I po not love her for herself, Dear Heart, you know that all too well; She is a restless little elf, She answers not the bell. I called, but just the other day. Thinking of you; she does not choose Often to stay at home; she's gay, That Gadabout, My Muse! Thinking of things I'd like to try; Thinking of things that should be said— I'd like to brain that Butterfly! The shameless little Hussy's fled! And not for pelf I'd like to find Her in. For you I've sought her far. Must Loves be dumb as well as blind? (Quite frequently they are.) How often I'm a wordless lout; From all those dear, cestatic “You's” I crave indulgence; she is out; That Gadabout, My Muse! Thinking of things I ought to write, Of sentiments that Youward roam, Dear Heart, this message I indite: “A Muse's place is in the home!” W. D. The Confessions of a Bored Fellow I Have been bored by travelogues. family albums, burlesque shows, others’ love affairs, after-dinner speeches, mountain scenery, autobiographies, din- ner parties, “funny” stories, the theory of Relat and certain of my inebri- ated friends. People who preface their statements with, “The trouble with you is—" bore me in particular. I am likewise bored by the continual repetition of such phrases as “I'll tell the world,” “You said it,” and “I'll say so.” Fortune tellers bore me—especially if the fortunes they tell come true. I am also bored by busy telephone num- bers and nibless shoelaces. At times I have been so bored by a thing that I have suddenly become quite interested in it. I am seldom bored by extremely silly people, though the most sagacious almost always fill me with an inexpressible ennui. I have invariably found that those persons who are forever announcing how much things bore them are usually more bored with themselves than with anything else. I am never bored when I am ab- solutely alone. C.G. SS Tue new dollar bill is designed so that it will be harder to counterfeit.
