Her Idea of Rome
Gentleman:—“You were some time in Italy, Baroness; how did you like Rome?”
Baroness:—“Rome? Just wait a moment! (To her daughter.) Emma, was it not at Rome where we bought those poor gloves?”
Misunderstood
Baroness (returning home):—“Maria, I cannot suffer you to take your sweetheart into the kitchen!”
Cook:—“Your ladyship is very kind, but my sweetheart would not go into the salon!”
Not Men Pleasers
Husband:—“I wish you would tell why you women are forever dressing up and have to have such a lot of new clothes all the time; do you think such extravagance pleases the men?”
Wife:—“Oh, we don’t care to please the men; we want to make the other women jealous!”
