Va'jclaln's recent article, which appeared en
the editorial pas of your paper December
10. under ths title, "Ltvtnr en 18.40 a

Mr. Vauclaln states "It Is ildlculeus te say
that It cannot be done." and irlves himself
as an example, haln had the experience',
but when? I am positive there Is hardly
one fair-minded person In this part of- the
cejntry who, after readlrur his article, will
net aaree with tne in saylna that he talks
ridiculously and foolishly.
He says It can be done, but he falls te
tlve us facts and flanres as te hew. I am
afraid It has been a long- time slnea Mr.
Vauclaln had his experience of llvlnr en

present price of coal, butter, eats and all
ether necessities of life. "People ara net

waje paid by the Baldwin Locomotive
Works, but It hardly means anything te most
of us He adecates marriage en $6 40 a

ridiculous for an one te try te comment
upon I remember eeme time age he advo

Chorus
Ohl Jlmmlny enky, blew me light
I always danee and sheutl
Fer I'm never as happy as when
It's Susan's Sunday out.
My Susan she's a chambermaid,
And lives In Belgrave Square:
She's eyes like doe's, a turnup nose
And a magenta head of hair:
She's often taken for the quen,
As we often walk nbeut.
And It (Ills my heart with great d-llglit
.Wheh It's Susan's Sunday cut.
The missis snd the little ones,
Just new they are out of town
Se of course ie .tea with Susan,
In the kitchen I alts dewn:
The gev'n'r he can't come down stairs,
Fer bu'a nlwkvs ret the geutt
Se sometimes two or three day a week
It's Susan's Sunday out.
And all the loose tobacco
She finds in empty Jars.
She gives te n. and oftentimes
A bundle rf elgars.
She says they nre her perquisite.,
Which In course I doesn't doubt,
And don't 1 Just blew out my kite
On Susan's Sunday out.
She's set an eye te huslness.
And already la beginning,
Te be prepared for rainy dajs
with lets of babr linen!
She say It might be wanted.
And of that I have no oeudi;
Fer married we Intlnd te be
On Susan's Sunday out.
