One day in French, Mrs. Williams discovered some sort of wire parapher¬ nalia in the golden tresses of fair Isabel, and seeing William Russell sitting directly in back of her, asked, “William Russell, were you responsible for that?” to which Fielding Wilson quietly answered, “No, Mrs. Williams, he’s not responsible.” For several weeks Edith Phillips was saying upon all occasions, “isn’t that the agonizing pathonathy,” and everybody wondered what she meant, including her¬ self. Finally, after it had been sifted to the botton, it was discover that Ju Rowe had once said, “Isn’t that agony personified?” Hence Edith’s pet exclamation. Was this derived by evolution or revolution?
