MISS ADVENTURES.
2.5ha Flosuc; the War.
-Harold "Begbie writes in the Dašly Chronicle as followe -----
Whether she approves of the war is another matter. But all the work of the War Loans and Exchequer Bonds has been damp- ed down on her deck by sa îr- considerate Tressary.
Cupid, being an improvident person, keeps, away from the Savings Bank. I am told that the marriage rate here is lower than in any other employment, scandal- ous 2 per cent. In spite of some decimal improvement in this rate sinos young gentlemen wept into khaki, the Savings Bank is still pre-eminently not an Agapemane,
I am disposed to think that young ladies who take to the work of the Savings Bank are of a mexions inclination. Perhaps it is impossible to be a dab at arithmetic and a fiery temptation to youth. I have the feeling that some of these ladies are of a Fabian torn of mind, that they are given to the debating of vezod questions, that they expres¥ contemptuous opinions of man- hood, in vegetarian restaurante, and go to sleep with Adam Smith under the pillow.
I stood in a room 322-feet long by 48 feet wide, surveying scɔros and scores of these arithmetical spinsters, filled with admiration for their labours, but overwhelm- ed with fear·lest_one.cË "them bould challenge" me "with a question about syndicalism or about Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Webb. I went from this vast room to another as vast. I went into room after room; almost se vaët, 'And everywhere I went, upataire and downstairs, there was this same young lady, firm of lin, stern of eye, devoid of all flofficess, and mostly spectacled, who, fooking up from her ledger,, regarded me menacingly.
I know of no place in the world more radically purged of senti- mentalism than the Post Office
