DESCRIBED PAPA RIGHT

It was her first silk dress and little Alice was simply overwhelmed. Her mother marked the occasion with an impromptu lecture on textiles. "You know, dear," she began, "this beautiful dress was given us by a poor little worm." "I know, mother," Alice replied. "Daddy's awful generous, isn't he?"

MAYBE SHE MEANT IT

She was a smart and pretty girl. She wrote the advertising for a large dry goods concern. Her mind used to run so much upon her business that one day, when she wrote her lover to meet her that night at home, she unconsciously added as a postscript: "Come early and avoid the rush."

ASKING FOR IT

Soldier—Madam, will you please get off my foot? Madam—Why don't you put your foot where it belongs? Soldier—Don't tempt me, lady, don't tempt me.

REPEAT PERFORMANCE

A concert was being held in a village schoolroom and it was Sandy's turn to give his bagpipe solo. When he had finished and applause had died down, a voice from the back shouted: "Give us 'Annie Laurie,' Sandy!" "What!" asked Sandy, surprised and flattered, "Again?"

TOO USEFUL TO GO

Henry—The radio will never take the place of newspapers. Charlie—Why? Henry—You can't start a fire with a radio set.

MORE IMPORTANT

Druggist—You'll find that most girls like this lipstick. Sweet Young Thing — You couldn't—er—tell me the kind the boys like, could you?

Poor Timing

Gabby was invited for dinner in the evening. Asked later if he had had a good time he answered: "If the oysters had been as cold as the soup, and the soup as warm as the wine, and the wine as old as the chicken, and the chicken as young as the maid—boy would I have had a wonderful time!"
