“TURNED OUT”

At a Cosmopolitan Club they were discussing the relative position of various countries as musical centres. Germany seemed to have the most votaries, much to the evident displeasure of one excitable Italian. “Italy is turning out the most musicians, and has always turned out the most,” he cried.

“Ach Gott!” exclaimed one of the Germans. “Can you blame her?”

WHAT INDEED?

Door-Keeper. Beg your pardon, sir—but you must, indeed, sir, be in full dress!

Snob (excited). Full dress!! Why, what do yer call this?

“FRENCH WITHOUT A MASTER.”

Matron in Stalls (reads from programme). “Overture to L’Ongfong Prod-eeg.” What does that mean? The prodigious child, eh?

Accomplished Daughter (shocked). Mamma, dear! No—“L’Enfant Prodigue”—it means the infant prodigy!!
