WISHES

MABEL—"Oh, but I wish I had a nice big car, with blue plush upholstering and all the modern appliances."

ALICE—"You'd take me out with you, if you had, wouldn't you?"

"No."

"Well, why not?"

"Why, you're perfectly capable of doing your own wishing, aren't you?"

HE—"But, Alice, you don't want that!"

SHE—"How will I know until I get it?"
