Each Had Its History
A woman lawyer, showing her dresses, said, “In this dress, my dear friends, I defended the infamous murderer, Muller; in this, the well-known burglar, Schlosser; in this, the clever green-goods man, Shlapinski; and in this, I represented the Countess Flirtinski, in her divorce suit.”
Change of Disposition
A:—“The young Baron seems a very harmless sort of fellow.”
B:—“Not any more—he bought an automobile yesterday.”
Taking Man’s Place
Professor:—“My wife tells me that Fräulein Melanie is fairly in love with her automobile! Another instance of man being replaced by a machine!”
Adding Insult to Injury
Dealer (who has just been knocked down by an auto):—“What do you think of that Baron! First, he borrows my benzine, and then he runs over me with his automobile!”
