The Unadventurous.

At every corner handkerchiefs drop, fingers beckon, eyes besiege, and the last, the lonely, the rapturous, the mysterious, the perilous, changing dews of adventure are slipped into our fingers. But few of us are wiling to hold and follow them. We are ■Town stiff with the rgmrod of convention down our backs. We pass on •nd some day we come, at the end of • very dull life, to reflect that our romance has been a potted thing of h marriage or two, a satin rosette, kept fit • safe deposit drawer, and a Ufalong feud with a steam radiators— O. Henry in the “Green Door.”
