Sam Jones Breaks Loose Again.

Sam Jones in a recent lecture abruptly sums up society women as follows: “When God gives a man a wife and six children, he has done a great deal for him, but when He fits a fellow out with a society woman and a poodle He has played a serious joke on him. Those society women look upon children as nuisances. I have had some of the society women shake bands with me, and I would as soon shake a dead fish's tail. I would not give one of your sock darning women for all the women in the country. Between cutting off the top of their dress for the.ball room and the bottom for the bycycle these society women wilt soon have no clothes left, A man said to a society woman, ’I hope to see more of you.’ She answered, ‘Come to the ball tonight.' Some people say you slioukl nt speak that way before a mixed audience. You old sisters wear high collars close around your neck, but deliver "me from the society women Avho button their collars arouail their waists. You preachers don’t talk that way, du you? You talk about the sweet bye-aud-bye, instead of the nasty now and then.’’
